Surprise for Sam Simpson

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – We’re not supposed to be bias in this business, but today, it was hard not to be bias at Henry Clay High School.

Sometimes, the moment speaks for itself.  You can see and hear what I mean in the video.

Henry Clay head football coach Sam Simpson was honored today by Dove as one of four national recipients of the “caring coach” award.

The whole thing was a total surprise to coach…and as you can imagine…an emotional moment and a thank you for even being nominated.

He’ll be honored at the College Football Hall of Fame down in Atlanta later in December.

But today, in front of his players, family and friends, was truly the best honor he could imagine.

See the big surprise moment in the video and hear from coach as well.
