Coach of the Year Recognition

On July 1, Coach Jon Kay, North Shore football Head Coach, was selected as a finalist for the
2020-2021 Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year Award.

“This year’s 32 Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year nominees represent the crucial
role that high school football coaches play in positively shaping the character of players,”
said NFL Vice President of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the NFL Foundation, Alexia
Gallagher. “We are proud to honor these coaches who have provided exemplary mentorship
to student-athletes both on and off the field.”

The coaches were also recognized by their local NFL club for their character and integrity,
leadership, dedication to the community, commitment
to player health and safety and on-field success. The
Houston Texans named North Shore’s Jon Kay as Coach
of the Year. The North Shore Mustangs finished No. 8 in the
final Top 100 during the 2020-2021 school year.

Two finalists will be selected and a winner will be
announced later this summer. Nike, a presenting partner,
and the NFL Foundation will award $12,500 to the Don
Shula Award winner while the associated high school
football program will be awarded $17,500. The second
finalist will receive $7,500 while the associated High School
football program will be awarded $12,500. In addition, the
other 30 finalists will receive $1,000 each.

Congratulations and best of luck, Coach Kay!
