Each coach will receive $5,000 for their school
and will be recognized at the Under Armour All-America High School
Football Game on Jan. 1
Today U.S. Cellular announced the two winning coaches of the
company’s Most Valuable Coach program, selected by fans out of
hundreds of nominated coaches around the country. Allan Trimble of
Jenks High School in Jenks, Okla., and Doug Smith of Appomattox
County High School in Appomattox, Va., will each receive $5,000 for
their school and a trip to Orlando, Fla., where each will be
recognized live on the field during the nationally-televised Under
Armour All-America High School Football Game, Jan. 1 on ESPN at
1:00 p.m. EST.
“We congratulate Coach Trimble and Coach Smith on their
deserving title of Most Valuable Coach. There is no doubt that
these two coaches have had an incredible impact on their schools
and youth and will continue to be a leader in their local
communities,” said Grant Leech, vice president of brand management
at U.S. Cellular. “There were many worthy coaches nominated for
this program, and we are fortunate to have so many people dedicated
to positively influencing and teaching our country’s youth.”
U.S. Cellular’s Most Valuable Coach program began on Sept. 9 and
gave people the opportunity to honor a high school football head
coach who has made a positive impact on an individual, school or
community.
Allan Trimble of Jenks High School serves as a coach,
mentor and leader in his community, encouraging his team to give
back. From packing nearly 40,000 meals for mission teams all over
the world to visiting local hospitals, Trimble leads by
example.
Doug Smith of Appomattox County High School is an
integral part of his community, leading his team with the mantra of
“Power of One”. With this in mind, Smith’s team and the local
community came together as one to recover from a tornado that
destroyed several homes and properties. Smith is a firm believer of
teaching life lessons that can be applied off the field, through
football.
U.S. Cellular hosted local celebratory events to honor each
Final 15 coach and created short videos detailing each coach’s
story, which can be viewed at www.TheMostValuableCoach.com. The
Most Valuable Coach program served as an extension of U.S.
Cellular’s commitment to building a connection with communities
that extends beyond its business by supporting the neighborhoods
where the company’s associates and customers live and work.
