Catonsville football coach Rich Hambor's selection Wednesday as the first Ravens' High School Coach of the Week for this season made us wonder about past winners of the Ravens' Coach of the Year award.
This is the 15th season the Ravens have awarded Baltimore-area high school football coaches, and while we could remember some of the winners, we had to check the archives to list them all.
Here they are:
1997 Augie Waibel, Poly
1998 Nick Arminio, Eastern Tech
1999 Pete Pompey, Edmondson
2000 Dom Damico, McDonogh
2001 Steve Turnbaugh, Hereford
2002 Dave Eubank, Dundalk
2003 Gene Brown, South Carroll
2004 Ben Eaton, Dunbar
2005 Brad Wilson, Westminster
2006 Dante Jones, Edmondson
2007 Lawrence Smith, Dunbar
2008 Tony Shermeyer, Century
2009 Rick Conner, Linganore
2010 Damon Bomar, Forest Park
Hambor is now a candidate for the 2011 award. From all of this season's weekly selections, the Ravens will name their High School Coach of the Year at the Ravens-Browns game on Dec. 24 at M&T Bank Stadium.
