  National Award Winners

  
  The NMHSCA is affliated with two National Coaches Association Organizations that produce National Coaches of the Year, National Hall of Fame Coaches of the Year as well as regional coaches of the year.  The process is generally the same between the two organizations.  States submit nominees each year to the national organizations.  Those organizations choose one coach per region/section to be the regional/sectional coach of the year.  The final national award bestowed upon New Mexico Coaches is the National High School Sports Hall of Fame Award.  It is the most prestigious National Award received by New Mexico Coaches.  The two organizations are the National High School Athletic Coaches Association and the National Federation Coaches Association.
