Just before press time we got word that the National High School Athletic Coaches Association (NHSACA) has chosen Garretson High School Cross Country Coach and Math Teacher Jason Bohl as one of its 2020 Coach of the Year Finalists.
“We recognize coaches not just for a season of coaching, but for their “lifetime achievements.” The NHSACA Coach of the Year awards are the most prestigious awards given to high school coaches in America. Some 152 coaches earn the “National Spotlight” each June at our Annual Convention,” states the NHSACA website.
“The National High School Coaches Association is dedicated to serving High School Coaches and Athletic Directors throughout the United States through education, recognition, and support. Our goal is to promote high school athletics, provide professional services to our member coaches while providing opportunities for all high school coaches. The NHSACA provides resources to promote professional growth, and attitude of teamwork, sportsmanship and healthy lifestyles for Athletes, Coaches, and Athletic Directors.”
All finalists will be recognized at the National Conference in Lincoln, NE July 20-23. A total of 7 South Dakota coaches were chosen as part of the 150 total finalists from across the United States.
