The Montana Coaches Association has announced that Sue Loeffler of Bigfork (girls track), Arron Deck of Glacier (boys track) and Bob Hislop of Polson (girls tennis) have been named MCA Coach of Year for their respective sports in voting by MCA members.
Loeffler, Deck and Hislop will be honored at the MCA Awards Program during the MCA All-Sport Coaches Clinic on Aug. 2nd in Great Falls at C.M. Russell High School.
MCA discontinued its ‘Special Sports’ category at their March board meeting, retroactive for the 2017-18 school year. For that reason soccer and swimming were contested on the spring ballot.
