BOYS COACH OF THE YEAR

TROY BEALL, Estero

In his sixth season, Beall helped guide the Wildcats to second place in the Lee County Athletic Conference Tournament and to the championship in districts at Pelican Sound Golf and River Club. The Wildcats finished third at regionals. Beall also is an assistant coach on Estero’s baseball team, which made it to the state finals last May.

“I was happy with the season as a whole,” said Beall, who thought his team had a great chance to go to state. “The boys got better as the season went on.”

GIRLS COACH OF THE YEAR

ED LOCKARD, BISHOP VEROT

Lockard, a first-year coach taking over a young team with one freshman and two sophomores, led the Vikings to regional play after they finished third in districts. Bishop Verot would’ve finished fifth in regionals had a player not signed an illegal scorecard. They lost just one regular-season match. “It was great,” he said. “They were a good bunch of girls, very mature even though we had three underclassmen. I know they had a lot of fun together.” Lockard and Drew Donnelly just finished their first year as owners of Sanibel Island Golf Club.
