Stanton Football Coach David Stoddard Wins Top D1 Coaching Award

After leading Stanton to an 8-2 record and the Class D1 quarterfinals, Stanton coach David Stoddard has been recognized with the Mike Behrens Coaching Award.

Huskerland Prep announced Stoddard as the Class D1 recipient of the award.

The Mike Behrens Coaching Award was designated to recognize a coach’s ability to bring out the best in his team, creating a sense of overachievement. Coach Behrens was a coach at Omaha Roncalli in 2003 who despite having a roster of 20 in Class B reached the state finals with an undefeated record.

We had a successful season in so many ways. We had so much support from families and the community of Stanton," Stoddard said. "Coaching awards are nice, but I'm more concerned about the kids. I'm proud of them."
