The National High School Coaches Association has named St. Thomas Aquinas soccer coach Craig Ewing, the National High School Boys Soccer Coach of the Year for 2009.

Ewing has become an institution as a coach of Aquinas’ boys and girls soccer teams since the school opened its doors in 1988. A third-place finish by his boys team in 1991 started a run that would see his teams win 12 state titles, including the last six in succession. His teams have won titles in Class 5A the past two years after four straight titles in big-school Class 6A.

He has been honored for his girls soccer teams having been recognized as National High School Private/Parochial Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in 2005. His girls teams have won nine state titles, including four in a row from 1993 to 1996 and three straight from 2005-07. This year’s team finished third at state. His girls teams have an all-time record of 547-166-33 and his boys teams also have over 500 wins.
