Breinig to be honored with leadership awardΒ
The Southern Arizona Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame made a terrific selection for its 2017 Joe Kearney Leadership Award. Howard Breinig, who began his days in Tucson as an undersized guard and captain on the Arizona football teams of the early 1960s, is to be honored next Sunday night at the DoubleTree Hotel in the 19th annual Scholar-Athletic banquet. Breinig began his coaching career at Sunnyside High School in 1963 and worked through 2007 as an assistant at Sabino. He led Sahuaro to the 1994 state co-championship.
