Edmund Crame, coach of the senior boys volleyball team at St. Martin De Porres, was recently awarded the CSHSAA Volleyball Coaching Award from the Calgary Catholic School Division.

Crame said he was honored by the award, and a little surprised by his nomination.

"I guess I was just really surprised to hear that I was nominated, and then on top of that, surprised that I was nominated by somebody that I coached against."

Crame said normally, nominations come from somebody within your own school, like a co-coach or administrator.

As for winning the award, Crame said he owes thanks to his players, their parents, the staff and administrators at St. Martin, and everyone that invested in him as a player.

"In terms of winning the award, it's nice. I'd like to think that I share it with the people that I work with."
