LITTLE ROCK – Mount Ida Coach Mike White has been named a finalist for 2A Coach of the Year by Farm Bureau Insurance.
The Farm Bureau Insurance Awards honor Arkansas’ top offensive player, defensive player and coach of the year for each classification.
Coach White is among three finalists for the coach of the year award selected from the 2A classification by the veteran staff at Hooten’s Arkansas Football. He and his family have been invited to attend the Farm Bureau Awards in North Little Rock.
Farm Bureau Insurance Executive Vice President and General Manager David L. Moore said, “These 45 finalists represent some of the best coaches and student-athletes in our state. Farm Bureau is proud to honor excellence as the title sponsor of this outstanding event.”
Coach White has coached the Mount Ida Lions to a 13-1 record so far and a trip to upcoming 2A state championship game.
