NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI — North Kingstown is calling its latest recognition for athletic excellence a tribute to late athletic director Dick Fossa. The school accepted the Rhode Island Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association George Nasuti School of the Year Award just weeks after it mourned the passing of Fossa. "This award wouldn't be possible without Coach Fossa's tireless efforts and dedication to the athletes and coaches at NK," the North Kingstown Athletics Department posted on its social media account. "He has forever earned a place in our hearts and left an indelible mark in the history of NK Athletics. He will be sorely missed Coach, Mentor and Friend." North Kingstown HS accepted a very prestigious award today as it was named the school of the year from the RI Athletic Directors Association. Dick was so proud of this award as it reflects all the hard work the coaches and athletes put in. Congratulations to all of you. pic.twitter.com/E8hv5OeLoe— NK Athletics (@NoKingstownHS) June 24, 2020 Fossa coached football and was the athletic director at Narragansett High before coming to North Kingstown High as its AD in 2017. He coached Narragansett to two Super Bowl championships during his 14 years and helped oversee a dominant stretch in North Kingstown athletics over the past three years. North Kingstown won six state championships since Fossa arrived in 2017. He was named the RIIL Athletic Director of the Year in 2019.
