Carol Rose Named National Coach of the Year

January 26, 2020 admin

Twenty-three high school coaches from across the country have been selected as 2019 National Coaches of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Coaches Association. Section XI is lucky to have Northport girls lacrosse coach Carol Rose as one of these honorable individuals.

The NFHS, which has been recognizing coaches through an awards program since 1982, honors coaches in the top 10 girls sports and top 10 boys sports (by participation numbers), and in two “other” sports – one for boys and one for girls – that are not included in the top 10 listings.

The NFHS also recognizes a spirit coach as a separate award category. Winners of NFHS awards must be active coaches during the year for which they receive their award. This year’s awards recognize coaches for the 2018-19 school year.

Mattituck’s Xavier Allen scored career point No. 1,000 in early December.

He is the first player to reach 1,000 points since 1983 in Mattituck boys’ basketball history.
