SACRAMENTO, CALIF. – The CIF State office today announced the 2017-18 Model Coach Award winners. Now in its 17th year, the CIF Model Coach Award program is designed to recognize coaches who have served as positive role models in their schools and communities, and who have exhibited the traits
apparent in the 16 principles of Pursuing Victory with Honor. The 13 winners, nominated through their local CIF Section office, will receive an award and be
honored at their sport’s State Championship or at an event of the recipient’s choosing.
Robert Anderson (Oroville High School) Basketball/Football/Golf/Volleyball
Anderson serves as a teacher and coach at Oroville High School for the past 18 years. He is the ultimate
coach in the classroom and is always willing to spend extra time with students who need it and
encouraging students to achieve higher levels of learning. His knowledge and passion for athletics is
immeasurable and proven in his continued dedication to the development of the student-athletes at OHS.
Anderson has set his student-athletes up for success and when kudos are received he is humble and
instead attributes all the success to his players and staff.
Carla Davis (West Valley High School) Volleyball
Davis has coached volleyball at West Valley High School for more than 20 years. She leads by her
example and her student-athletes know she is a woman of her word, they see this integrity and trust her
because of it. She takes pride and encourages her players to take pride in the complements they receive
about sportsmanship. Coach Davis is an excellent example of a coach who demonstrates the values of
“pursuing victory with honor.”
