Coaches Corner

By Brock Tyrrell, CCAISD AD

What a year this has been. In athletics it was fun, exciting and all of a sudden cut short due to COVID-19. This was something that caught all of us by surprise and quickly turned to disappointment. Disappointment for all of the hard work that had been put in by our athletes, a spring sport season full of hope and excitement and a final season cut short for all of our Senior Class athletes. As an athletic department we felt like it was important to keep some sense of normalcy and recognize our athletes and seniors for all of their dedication and hard work throughout the year. To do this we hosted a virtual ceremony for the 2019-2020 Athletic Team Awards for Van Horn School. Each head coach was able to present the awards for their sports and talk about their season with their athletes. Van Horn High School Athletes were awarded the following honors:
