The Broyles Foundation and FieldTurf Honor Texas High School Football Coaches
The Broyles Foundation and FieldTurf are partnering to expand the High School Broyles Award program in Texas by recognizing and celebrating assistant football coaches across 8 regions. Annually, the High School Broyles Award honors the nation's best high school assistant football coaches.
The prestigious high school award was introduced in 2018 by the Broyles Foundation, which has been honoring the nation's best collegiate assistant football coaches since 1996. The award is named after Coach Frank Broyles, who had a legacy of selecting and developing great assistants during his almost two decades as head coach at Arkansas.
FieldTurf, a world leader in artificial turf, is committed to empowering tomorrow's champions through its Better Tomorrow program, which is highlighted by partnerships with:
- The Broyles Foundation, honoring the best high school assistant football coaches in Texas and across the nation.

And numerous other programs encouraging coaching and athletics.
