Stillwater head coach Beau LaBore is the first Minnesota Vikings High School Coach of the Week.
Below is a snippet from the Vikings website about Coach LaBore:
Coach Beau LaBore was hired as a Social Studies Teacher and the 22nd Head Football Coach at Stillwater Area High School in 2011. Under LaBore, the Ponies won sub-district championships in 2012, 2020, and 2021.
Coach LaBore chose a career in education because several teachers and coaches had an indelible impact on his life. As a teacher and coach, he seeks to do the same. Coach LaBore believes this profession is about the student-athlete. Therefore, when a young man leaves this program they will be a better person because they played football. Coach LaBore and the Ponies coaching staff will foster an atmosphere that makes playing football fun, challenging, and more than just a game.
LaBore is very involved in Tackle Cancer and the Ponies have helped raise $2.1 million and counting. Stillwater players are committed to working hard and serving others in many ways.
While student-athlete development will continue to be the focal point, Coach LaBore expects the Ponies football program to perform at the state’s highest level.
“While we have one of Minnesota’s most historic programs, we will work to make the Stillwater football program the most respected program in Minnesota as well.”
Minnesota Vikings
After each week of games during the high school football season, the Vikings honor a high school coach of the week. Coaches are chosen based on their contribution on the football field, but more importantly, on the impact they make within their community and for their student-athletes. In addition to being recognized in local media for the achievement, the school’s football program receives a $1,000 donation on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings.
