Columbus High School football coach Andrew Selgrad has been named Wisconsin Associated Press High School Football Coach of the Year. Selgrad received the honor after leading Columbus to a WIAA Division 4 championship this year, over Waukesha Catholic Memorial. There were snowy conditions as Capitol Conference champion Columbus rallied for a 23-21 victory last month, completing an undefeated 14-0 season. Selgrad said being named Coach of the Year is an overwhelming and surreal. He said this season was “fantastic.”
The Catholic Memorial Crusaders ended the Columbus' season a year ago in the State Semifinals. This year, it was a different story, with Columbus pulling out the upset win, 23-21. It's their first state football title since 1996.
