Diamond Bar High School Coach Tony McCabe was honored Wednesday by the Walnut Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees, after being named the California Coaches’ Association Southern Section Coach of the Year - Girls' Golf.

The coach was presented with a certificate of special recognition during the Board of Trustees meeting. He was notified in January that he had won the award.

To be selected for this award, coaches must have experience and a history of excellence in coaching. Every year, one high school coach is named Coach of the Year in each sport, with nominations coming from peers.

During the meeting, McCabe also gave an update on the golf program.

“Golf in Walnut Valley is outstanding,” he said. “We have six girl golfers playing college golf. One, Alice Kim, who was All-American at UC Davis, is turning pro. And this year, all three of our seniors will be playing college golf next year.”
