Generally considered to be the most honored player in Pasadena football history, Bert Coan was equally heralded for his track exploits while at Pasadena High. In 2014 he was inducted in the Pasadena ISD Athletics Hall of Fame, and in 2015 he was inducted in the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame. Following his death in 2022 the Hall of Fame Committee unanimously decided to award a scholarship in his memory to a promising athlete.
