2010 Sam Simpson
Sam Simpson led the Henry Clay High School (Lexington, KY) Blue Devils to a Class 4A state runner-up finish in 1995, and with 193 victories he is the school's all-time winningest football coach.
Including 5 seasons at Marion County, Simpson had an overall record of 224-153-1 as a head coach.
Coach Simpson was also honored in 2015 with the Caring Coach of the Year from Cove Men+Care Deodorant and the College Football Hall of Fame. According to one of his colleagues at Henry Clay, Guidance Counselor and Assistant Athletic Director, Sharron Wesley Porter, "He is not only a coach to his players, but he is a father figure and role model. He is one of the best people I know, and he has always filled the shoes of being a kind person while coaching his players to victory or sharing the agony of defeat. We have had several students over the years that have had very little to describe as a home. Sam and his wife, Sheri, have always provided meals and sometimes shelter to those that sometimes did not have a place to go."
