Judge Duncan Beagle Award

Judge Duncan Beagle has been a member of our association for many years, he has been a past president as well as trainer. Duncan worked very hard as an official helping many rookies earn their stripes. He was instrument in getting the associations’ non-profit status with the State of Michigan and writing of the by-laws. In the early 90’s Duncan was struck with a rare disease that took the use of his legs, but that didn’t stop Duncan he continued to work with the GCCOA as an adviser. Duncan Beagle was appointed to Circuit court as a judge by Gov. John Engler in the 90’s. Judge Duncan Beagle is still active in the community serving on many non-profit boards as well as the Atwood Stadium project. You can see Judge Beagle at many sporting events across the area supporting student athletes and GCCOA Officials.

The Duncan Beagle Award is presented to one official in each sport for their dedication and officiating excellence.
