2020-2021 NWC Don Bachman Award of Excellence
Columbus Grove won the Northwest Conference 2020-2021 “Don Bachman Award of Excellence”. This is the fifth time Columbus Grove has accomplished this feat since the establishment of the award in 2005. This award recognizes the school in the conference that exhibits the highest level of consistent excellence in conference-sponsored sports and scholastic bowl competitions each school year.
The Bulldogs compiled a total of 86.5 points with Crestview (72.0) and Lincolnview (69.5) finishing second and third respectively. Points are awarded and accumulated each year based on conference standings in all sports and the NWC scholastic bowl competition.
The award was started during the 2005-06 school year to honor longtime Northwest Conference commissioner/secretary, Don Bachman, who served in that position for more than thirty years before passing away late in 2005.
