Glasgow and Savoie are the third and fourth coaches from Bear River High to receive this award. Ewing (Monterey Trail) and Harris (Hilmar) are the second coaches to receive this honor from their respective schools. For the other two schools – Gregori and Manteca – this is their first such honoree.

Each of the six model coaches will receive a plaque and a lifetime Sac-Joaquin Section pass at an awards breakfast on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 in Lodi.

I will always share this story about Scott Savoie.....
I was at the Sac Joaquin section championship breakfast last year. He and Terry Logue were sitting the next table over with four of their players. The two of them have coached together for years and Logue has fallen on hard times in terms of his health and his motor skills are failing. I watched Savoie cut this man's breakfast up for him so that he could eat. He did it in such a way that it totally protected Logue's dignity in front of his players and peers. That will stick with me forever. That's such a great lesson in how to treat people for their young men to witness. He is definitely deserving of this award.
