The Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) has honored Republic basketball coach Trevyor Fisher as its boys basketball Coach of the Year for 2013-14. The award is given to just one coach in each sport every year, among all high school classes.
According to MSHSAA, the award is “presented to an individual who has made a life-long commitment to the ideals of coaching interscholastic sports.” MSHSAA representative Kevin Garner presented the award to Fisher before the Tigers’ game against Neosho Tuesday night.
“Right now, you’re very appreciative of it, of course, and it means a lot,” Fisher says. “But at this point in time, you’ve just got to put it behind you. You accept it, and you’re gracious towards it, but I think where it will really sink in is 20-30 years down the road. That’s when you look back and can really appreciate it. But I’m very thankful for the award.”
