You would kind of expect it after they won the state title and the turnaround that the Vikings saw in their program. Here's the writeup from the Bigfork Eagle...
The man who helped lift the Vikings football team to its first state championship has earned an honor of his own for his efforts this season.
Bigfork High School head football coach Todd Emslie was named Class B Coach of the Year by the Montana Coaches Association.
The honor is voted on by all of the coaches in the division across the state and winners were announced by the MCA in an e-mail to media outlets at the end of January.
“It is very cool and very humbling,” Emslie said. “There are a ton of great coaches out there. You could make an argument for every coach in our district let alone all of the coaches in the state. So it is a really neat thing.”
Emslie’s players have no doubt that he is the right pick for the honor though.
“He stood right by our side and always lifted us up and motivated us,” senior lineman Jerry Rose said. “He never left our side and always made us feel like we could succeed. He spent a lot of time with his linemen and not just with his quarterback and receivers. I don’t know that a lot of head coaches do that.”
