Mark Olsen, coach of the White Pigeon golf team, has been named Michigan High School golf coach of the year.
Given by the Michigan Interscholastic Golf Coaches Association, the award culminates a stellar season for Olesn and his squad, which went on to win the Division 4 state title in June.
The coach-of-the-year award is Olsen’s second, as he was the recipient in 2009 after coaching his team that year to the state runner-up.
Olsen said though the award honors the coach, it reflects the effort of team members and the support of their parents.
