I'd like to say, given the circumstances that Brady Yevins of the Chartiers-Houston Bucs did a great job of coaching this year. He had no home field, a nice little team, (not a lot of size but a lot of heart)and played against some good competition. Nothing against any of the other coaches but this young coach deserves to be mentioned if not awarded the coach of the year tag.
