Each year the Peg McAleenan Award is presented to the Coach of the Year for a female high school team in New Brunswick. This year’s winner of the Peg McAleenan Award is Sheldon Shaw of Southern Victoria High School. Sheldon returned to New Brunswick in 2019 and rekindled his basketball coaching interest. Sheldon has had several successful seasons as the coach at Southern Victoria. This year will mark Sheldon’s second consecutive year leading the Vikings to the Final 12, where they will look to win their second consecutive A girls banner. In Sheldon’s words: “I am honored to be added to a long list of amazing coaches that have volunteered their time before me and the fact that it is named after Peg McAleenan just adds to the joy. I would be remise if I did not add the names of my influencers: Jon Brain, Dave Nutbrown and Tim McGarrigle”
