"Montana" Coach of the Year Award

Steve Daugherty is regarded as one of the top coaches of the program and a player favorite.  As one of the first coaches in the Blizzard program, "Montana" has gone over the top in his efforts in making the Blizzard program one of the best in the country.  In 2009, the first Manager of the Year Award went to Steve and was named after a program favorite - Steve "Montana" Daugherty.

Message from Steve "Montana" Daugherty

"Congratulations to Mike and Ben on your 'Montana' Coach of they Year award.  Blizzard is a great experience that I truly miss every day.  You are in a wonderful position to lead and learn.  You have taken great pride, effort and sacrifice to be a Lighthouse and a role model to the players you coach.  The fact that players continue to thrive after graduation then choose to return to the Blizzard program is the greatest testament to the amazing coaches and awesome program that Blizzard Baseball embodies.  Thank you for continuing this tradition of excellence and taking full advantage of this amazing opportunity."  #BlueLove, Steve "Montana" Daugherty.
