The George Feeny Award

The George Feeny Award is given to the top coach in the state. William Daniels starred as George Feeny in the hit TV sitcom Boy Meets World for seven years. George Feeny starts out teaching Corey, Shawn, and Topanga for the first season, and then becomes a teacher/principle from season’s two to five. By the end of the series he follows the gang to the made up Pennbrook University and becomes a college professor. He always got the best out of his students whether it was helping Topanga getting that extra A to put her ahead of Minkus, or helping the troubled Shawn Hunter get into college. Even though he was probably the most serious character in the show he had his fair share of comic relief. While keeping Corey and Shawn in line, he was always quick to tease them of their mistakes. Mr. Feeny not only influenced characters in the show, but he also influenced the viewers who watched as well. He may go down as the greatest principle in a TV sitcom.



And the winner is………..



Dave Dowling Greely
A lot of people were uncertain of how Greely would do this year due to the departures of Mark McCauley, Logan Price, and Sam Humphries but what Greely accomplished this year was truly incredible. Dowling coached the Rangers to their fourth regional title in a row behind brilliant races from Stefan Sandrueter (8th, 17:33.96) and Nathan Maderia (12th, 17:47.14) while their usual number four runner, Isaac Emery, didn’t race. The Rangers hit their peak at that point in the season. They were one of the favorites going into the state meet, but they got a blow when their number one runner Sam Johnston was ruled ineligible. Had Sam Johnston been able to race that day, Greely may have contended for the top spot.
