As most of you know I had no dog in the fight this year so almost without bias I submit Chris Eggers as coach of the year in the Metro. To look at how this team with no huge superstars completely turned this season around to become conference tourney champs is amazing. A lot of this goes to the work ethic and convincing the school to play over spring break.
If you are honest you must agree.

Eggers or Farrar at Dudley would be my choice. Dudley had many injuries all year but found a way to compete and win this year. Like you Gfan I do not have a dog in this fight but Dudley and Grimsley both are deserving.
My Vote for baseball coach of the year is Jeff Carter of Southern Guilford. Let team to a 23-4 record, one of best in school history and an undefeated conference record of 12-0 and won the conference tournament as well. Hard to run the table in baseball b/c so many teams have at least 1 good pitcher they can throw. Jeff has done a great job with the storm and should be the coach of the year in the area with what he has done leading the storm.
Great Job Coach Carter
