PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Communications company U.S. Cellular announces the return of the Most Valuable Coach program to honor high school coaches who lead by example, strengthen their teams and give back to their communities.

The winning coach will receive a $50,000 donation to the charitable organization of their choosing or their high school athletic department, a trip to Orlando, Fla., and on-field recognition at the Under Armour High School All-America Game.

The Aroostook County community can visit TheMostValuableCoach.com until 11:59 a.m. Sept. 11 to nominate their favorite current high school coach who is an inspiring leader not just among their players, but also in their school and city.

The company is teaming up with Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Kurt Warner, to help identify the Most Valuable Coach. Warner will be part of a panel of judges who will choose the Most Valuable Coach based on leadership qualities and the positive impact they have had on their community, school and players.

Public voting begins Oct. 12 and ends Nov. 14.
