9 - Coach Hakopian is Coach of the Year!
|
|
|
|
Congratulations to our very own Coach Haroot Hakopian! Coach is the Maryland Large School Coach of the Year and the United Soccer Coaches Regional Coach of the Year! Coach H lead our Girls Varsity soccer team to an 11-6 record during regular season but then went on to win the Region title and make it to the MPSSAA State Semi-Finals, narrowly losing in a shootout. Coach H’s team was the underdog throughout the playoffs but his leadership and motivation helped carry the Dawgs to only their second region title in school history.
|
|
Coach H is a fixture in the county as he has devoted countless hours to his Bulldog teams and his club teams outside of the school. Coach H is also involved on a national level with promoting and expanding girls soccer. We are so very happy and proud of these amazing honors for Coach!
