Monroe’s Johnny Sowell named Union Co. coach of the year

Monroe High School’s Johnny Sowell, was named Union County coach of the year. The award was named by Union County Schools.

Sowell has been at Monroe for 37 years, and began he was a three-sport high school star. He played football at Appalachian State to coach.

“I didn’t see this one coming. I’m blessed to have been nominated and to win is an honor,” Sowell said. “I’m just glad to touch these students’ lives. That’s what it is about. If it was about anything else I would’ve gotten away from it a long time ago. It’s not about money or fame because I’m only as good as they are and as good as my coaches are. I tell them that all the time. We are a team, we do this together.”

In 18 years as the school’s head football coach, Sowell’s record is 160-75, including a 16-0 season in 2015 and a 2AA state championship. Sowell is a five-time conference coach of the year and also won the 2011 NCHSAA coach of the year statewide.

Sowell has coached numerous college athletes and several players who have gone on to play in the NFL, including Jamison Crowder of the Buffalo Bills, Richard Huntley of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Terry Witherspoon of the Dallas Cowboys, Dion Byrum of the Carolina Panthers and Issac Blakeney who played for Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers and the Washington Redskins.

“I’m very excited for coach,” said Kahamoni Robinson, a Monroe High senior. “He deserves this. I look up to him like a father because it’s not just about sports he teaches me about the person I want to be in life. Throughout my four years here and on the football team, I’ve made so much progress from my freshman year until now. I really thank coach for that.”
