For most people, the recent blizzard that hit the Washington, D.C. metro area was something to forget, a nightmare that lasted days, which included shoveling and spinning tires and cabin fever. For Michael Burnett, it helped put things in perspective.
“It’s been unbelievable,” he said. “We went from sitting under 34 inches of snow to getting a phone call from the NFL, to being on stage with Roger Goodell, so it’s really been unbelievable.”
It was announced almost two weeks ago that Burnett, of Tuscarora High School in Loudoun County, Va., was named the Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year.
