The McLean Foundation award recognizes their success on the golf course, in classroom, and through community service projects."
"Methodist has a great group of quality coaching candidates for this award each and every year," he added. "I am honored to be selected by the committee to be the fourth coach to receive the award and to join the past distinguished winners."
