as 2007 Girls’ Basketball Coach of the Year for
Mr. Brian Weisner, Head Coach of the Great Mills High School Girls’ Basketball Team,
has been selected as the Maryland 2007 Coach of the Year by the National Federation
of State High Schools Associations (NFHS) Coaches Association.
The state coach of the year awards recognize coaches who have exhibited good sportsmanship
and presented an exemplary role model for their student athletes.
Service to the community and involvement in the NFHS Coaches Association are also
key requirements for consideration. Outstanding coaching records, including the
achievement of championships are also considered, but play a secondary role to the
aforementioned criteria in the selection process.
Mr. Weisner has held
the position of head coach
for eight seasons.
During this time he has compiled a record of 112 wins and 81
loses.
Mr. Weisner believes that “Participation
in high school athletics affords student athletes the
opportunity to learn discipline, motivation, and teamwork.
Giving athletes a solid foundation in these characteristics will not only
help them become successful individuals, but
will also provide future adults who can positively contribute to the society in
which
they live.”
