Beau Hyde Award
|
This award was established in 2002 in memory of Beau Hyde, a man who coached many years in our league. Known to many simply as "Coach Beau", Beau was a loving and devoted husband, father, and coach who regularly modeled nobility and sportsmanship. To his friends, his players, and even his rival coaches and teams, Beau always projected integrity, honesty, and a clear sense of fair play. These qualities cam naturally to Beau and were always a part of his competitive and fun-loving personality. Beau was truly an exceptional coach and will always be missed by our community, league, and all that knew him.

This award is given to the Manager or Coach who best exemplifies Beau's coaching spirit, attitude, and sportsmanship - both on and off the field.
