COACH OF THE YEAR
Carol DeOpsomer, St. Thomas Aquinas: Guided the boys’ team to a state runner-up finish, its first appearance in the state finals since 2008. “They had a few obstacles during the year, but that did not deter their desire to get to states. They only lost one match during the season and came so close to winning it all at states. They all played their best throughout the year. I really am so proud of them. I couldn’t ask for a better group of players.”
