The three coaches killed during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting will be posthumously honored at the 2018 ESPYs.

The ESPYs will honor the three with the Best Coach Award during the awards ceremony.

In February 2018, Stoneman Douglas coaches Aaron Feis, Scott Beigel, and Chris Hixon died shielding students from gunfire.

The award will be given during the 2018 ESPYs on July 18.
