I know he won't win but IMO Beatty at Trinity did one of his best coaching jobs this year. The Rocks were not a perfect team by any means but he navigated through a very tough schedule undefeated.

First congrats to all of these super fine players.

I am pulling for one of the following to win it.Tyrese Allen, Paintsville,Blake Gamble, Johnson Central or D’Mauriae VanCleave, Danville
