Edmond North golf coach Jeff Doherty and Heritage Hall tennis coach Dick Villaflor were named as winners of the National Federation of State High School Association Coaches Association’s coach of the year award for 2011, the NFHS announced Tuesday.
The awards honor 21 coaches in 10 boys sports, 10 girls sports and one other sport that isn’t included in those categories. Doherty won for boys golf while Villaflor won for girls tennis.
Coaches are awarded state and sectional (Oklahoma is in a group with Texas, Arkansas, Colorado and New Mexico) awards before reaching the national level. The NFHS Coaches Association advisory board, consisting of a chair and eight sectional representatives chooses the sectional and national winners.
