Nebraska High School Coach Receives National Honor

fox-footballCOLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska high school football coach is receiving recognition for his team’s effort to help after a tornado devastated the town of Pilger earlier this year.

Kurt Frenzen, who coaches at Lakeview High School in Columbus, is one of three coaches nationwide being honored by Dove for acts of caring.

After Pilger was hit by the tornado June 16, Frenzen and his team volunteered to help clean up debris.

Frenzen says it was an eye-opening experience that helped show his players the importance of helping people who are in need.

Frenzen and the other winners will receive a trip to Atlanta where they will be honored by the College Football Hall of Fame. They’ll also be featured in a Dove ad and they’ll each receive $2,500 for their teams.
