Seahawks Announce UnitedHealthcare 2019 High School Coach Of The Year

Seahawks Name Tumwater High School’s Bill Beattie as High School Coach of the Year  

2019 HS COACH OF THE YEAR

SEATTLE (Dec. 23, 2019) — The Seattle Seahawks have named Tumwater High School's football coach, Bill Beattie, as its 2019 NFL High School Coach of the Year for the state of Washington.

The award, sponsored by UnitedHealthcare, was presented during a pre-game ceremony at CenturyLink Field during yesterday's Seahawks game against the Arizona Cardinals. As the Coach of the Year selection, Coach Beattie and the Tumwater High School football program received a $2,000 grant from the Seahawks and $10,000 grant from UnitedHealthcare.

Coach Beattie was selected, in large part, as a result of the Tumwater High School Thunderbirds' undefeated season, including a Dec. 7 win at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup to capture the 2A state championship. Under Coach Beattie's leadership, the Tumwater High School football team is committed to its tradition of playing with class, character, great passion and discipline. Beattie is also heavily involved in the Washington State Football Coaches Association (WSFCA) and is a mentor to coaches across the state.

The High School Coach of the Year award is the culmination of a season's worth of notable honors for Washington state high school football coaches. The High School Coach of the Week program supports the development of youth football. Each week during the high school football season, the WSFCA selects two coaches as honorees, and recipients receive a $500 grant from the Seahawks to be applied to their football program.

"UnitedHealthcare is delighted to celebrate with 2019 High School Coach of the Week honorees and the 2019 Coach of the Year, Bill Beattie," said Claire Verity, CEO, UnitedHealthcare of Washington. "The work of high school coaches is incredibly impactful, not just in coaching the game, but encouraging youth in our communities to live healthier lives."  

Coach Beattie was also joined by the 2019 state champion high school football coaches to raise the 12 Flag prior to kick-off, including:
