Girls cross country coach nominated for state coach of the year

Cortlyn Dees, Co-Editor-in-Chief • November 2, 2011

Girls cross country coach Ray Baca was selected by the University Interscholastic League staff as a National Federation Coaches Association State Coach of the Year.

“When I was called and told I was selected as Coach of the Year for Texas, I was very flattered and humbled,” Baca said. “The UIL selects this award and nominates our state’s coaches for sectional awards. So, to have them select me was an unexplainable feeling.”

Baca is automatically nominated for sectional coach of the year and will be considered along other coaches for the honor. States included along with Texas competing for sectional honors are Arkansas,  New Mexico,  Colorado and Oklahoma. Sectional winners will be nominated for national coach of the year.

Check back to The Eagle’s Tale for more information and results of the sectional and national nominations.
