The Sarasota Herald-Tribune is proud to honor area high school sports programs with our annual Sarasota-Manatee High School Sports Awards, which was held on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota.

Throughout the year, The Herald-Tribune selects an All-Area team in each FHSAA sport. From those teams, we select an overall Boys Coach of the Year.

We chose Venice High football coach John Peacock for the 2024-25 season. We then asked you, our readers, to vote and select the team you think deserved to be the Boys Coach of the Year.
