The COVID-19 pandemic has presented countless challenges for communities in our country over the past year. Just about every part of life was affected in some way, and high school athletics were not spared. Many districts across Washington state severely limited teams' ability to play and practice, and some canceled entire seasons in certain sports entirely.
The 2020 Fall football season was canceled in Washington, but the WIAA pushed the season to spring, allowing most teams to play a shortened schedule and make something of an otherwise dreadful year. In normal years, the Seahawks would select one coach from across the state as Coach of the Year — in 2019, it was Tumwater's Bill Beattie. But due to the truncated season, the Seahawks are nominating one coach from each of the state's six football divisions as Coach of the Year — not only for their team's performance on the field, but for their perseverance and commitment off of it as well.
