25TH ANNUAL TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28th, 2020 Honoring Top Assistant Coaches Since 1996 OUR MISSION RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE The Broyles Award was created in 1996 to honor my grandfather, Coach Frank Broyles. I am so proud of the award and what it has accomplished over the past twenty-five years. This award has touched the lives of so many coaches and their families, and has created a vast network of friends and colleagues through my grandfather’s legacy. Though he passed away in 2017, my grandfather’s mission carries on not just through this award, but also through the Broyles Foundation. This organization provides game plans for another kind of ‘assistant coach:’ Alzheimer’s caregivers in crisis. My grandfather built his career and his family around the pillars of teamwork, preparation, and selflessness. As caretakers of his legacy, my mother and I strive every day to uphold these values and expand upon his mission. My granfather’s values influence everything we do: just like he would have done, we are eagerly preparing for the next twenty-five years of recognizing excellence. Sincerely, Molly Arnold Broyles Award Director Coach Broyles’ Granddaughter COACH BROYLES ARKANSAS V.
