Congratulations to Ty Johnson, the men’s Varsity Basketball coach at Community School of Davidson! Coach Johnson has just been awarded the Region 6 Homer Thompson “Eight Who Make a Difference” award by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA).
The annual award honors eight coaches across the state who “exemplify exceptional sportsmanship and serve as inspiring role models for student athletes.”
Here’s more about this year’s award in a press release from the NCHSAA:
Named in honor of Coach Homer Thompson, a long-time coach and respected sportsmanship advocate from Winston-Salem Parkland High School, the award highlights the vital role of coaches who lead with character, respect, and integrity both on and off the field. These coaches are selected from each [of the] NCHSAA’s eight regions and will be recognized at the NCHSAA Annual Meeting.
Each recipient has been nominated by their peers and communities for their leadership and their positive impact on education-based athletics. The NCHSAA applauds these individuals for embodying the spirit of the “Benching Bad Behavior” initiative and promoting respect in high school sports.
Here’s what the NCHSAA wrote about Coach Johnson specifically:
Region 6: Ty Johnson
Community School of Davidson – Boys Basketball
In just his first season, Coach Ty Johnson transformed the culture of the basketball program and united the wider school community. Despite working off-campus, he regularly visits classrooms, checks on academics, and challenges his players to live “Above The Line” in all areas of life. His impact has extended beyond the court, bringing teachers, families, and students together to support one another with purpose and pride.
