Others have even moved into coaching and/or officiating high school sports. If anyone would like to nominate a family member, friend or turn in a self-nomination, please send in a nomination, listing high school athletic accomplishments. Include college and professional involvement, if it applies. Additional information about the applicant would be very helpful. Photo copies of newspaper articles are helpful in documenting accomplishments. Anyone who has questions can contact athletic director Richard Valdez at Tooele High School by calling (435) 833-1981.
