COACH OF THE YEAR
Krisztian Mikoczi, American Heritage-Delray: Led the Stallions (14-1-1) back to the Class 3A state finals for the first time since 2015. American Heritage went the farthest of any team in Palm Beach County on any classification, falling to Lakeland Christian 4-2 in the title game. “In the past two years, with hard work, we built a solid foundation to take the program back where it was 6-7 years ago. These hungry teams and these types of girls will make us coaches do it again.”
