Manheim, PA – The National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) is excited to announce the 2025 High School Girls State Head Coach of the Year award winners.
These coaches were nominated by their state leaders for their outstanding work this season. Each of them now moves on to the next stage, where they'll be considered for NWCA Section Coach of the Year honors. State Chairs in each section will handle the voting, and we'll announce those winners next week.
"These awards are about more than just wins and losses," said NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. "They recognize the coaches who go the extra mile for their teams, their schools, and the sport. We're proud to shine a light on their efforts."
Stay tuned — Later today we will announce the Girls State Assistant Staff of the Year winners.
