Congratulations to Head Football Coach George Kontsis of the Walnut Hills Eagles who has received the 2011 Coach of the Year Award! Coach Kontsis joined the team in 2008 and has totally turned the program around since day one. After having their first 8 game winning season in over 50 years, the Eagles achieved their first playoff appearance this season making it the first time in school history. And as if Coach Kontsis' performance on the field isn't enough, he alongside the players are making great things happen in the community through volunteerism. Great job Coach Kontsis, keep up the good work!
