*AA and A Golf were contested in the fall, but awarded Coach of the Year with the Spring B & C Golf coaches.
**Nominees for Special Sports came from Boys’ Tennis and Girls’ and Boys’ Soccer. These sports did not have enough member MCA coaches to make Coach of the Year Status, so all the first place finishing MCA-member coaches are nominees for Special Sports.
