Nick Coutras Awards

[tbp0137]

As just heard on 104.5, Antwaun Majors won the Nick Coutras Award that receives a $5,000 scholarship to the school of his choice. I am very proud and excited about the news, and want the committee as well as the general reader to know that this individual is what should embody high school athletics, from his work ethic, to his unselfishness, to his balance between three sports and the classroom (and that they made a great pick). It is also awesome to hear about the other finalists stories, and I know that these young men are going to be successful in their very near futures, on and off the field.

 

This is an outstanding award given by what I have heard to be a great ambassador for the sport during his time (and obviously now through this award), Mr. Nick Coutras. Congrats to all finalists, and to Antwaun.

Congrats to this young man and hopefully he puts that college money to good use. It is not everyday that someone beats out Sonny Gray.

I agree...a neat part of this is that both Majors and Gray overcame the loss of their father early in their careers and used this tragedy to excel in their respective sports...104.5 did a good job with the whole thing, and this could be an award that gets more exposure (at least we should all hope so).

It is indeed an honor to be nominated and I am really proud for all the men who were nominated from the schools who didn't make the finals. Adam Elrod from Oakland is absolutely a coach's dream in every way. Great way to recognize our very best young men.
