STEELERS COACH OF THE WEEK

Each week during the high school football season, the Steelers will name a Coach of the Week winner.

 

Each winner will be honored on the JumboTron at a Steelers home game at the two-minute warning of the first half.  In addition, each coach will be featured on the Mike Tomlin Show and presented with a $1,000 check for the school's football program and a framed certificate from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin.

 

A Coach of the Year will be named at the end of the high school season and he will receive a $2,000 check for the school's football progam.

 

 

Week 1: Andy Pacak, Monessen High School

In the 100th Anniversary of the Monessen – Charleroi rivalry, the Monessen Greyhounds pulled out a victory with two fourth-quarter touchdowns to secure a 28-17 victory.  Monessen, which plays in Class A, trailed Charleroi, a Class AA team, 17-14 early in the third quarter.  Monessen edged a bit closer to even up the all time series, 47-43-9.  The Greyhounds are currently 2-0.

 

Week 2-Ed Dalton, Trinity High School

Following an opening week loss, Coach Dalton was able to refocus his Hillers for a double-overtime victory over No. 4 ranked Blackhawk, 34-33.  Running back Mike Yancich ran for over 200 yards in the victory, and also scored the game winning touchdown in the second overtime, with the extra point as the deciding factor.

 

 

Week 3: Todd Massack, Riverview High School

Hosting only the second night game in almost 40 years, Riverview pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the young 2007 season, defeating No. 2-ranked Rochester, 24-23. In the first overtime, both teams converted field goal attempts.  In the second overtime, after scoring on a 5-yard run, the Riverview defense held strong for a goal-line stand to secure the victory, which was Riverview's first of the season and the first for new head coach Todd Massack.

 

 

Week 4: Dave Havern, Shady Side Academy

Coach Havern’s Indians continue the great play on defense with a second consecutive shutout with the 43-0 victory over Kittanning.  The defense recovered a fumble and returned it 3-yards for the touchdown to start the scoring.  They added a 21-point third quarter to put the game away and have a running clock.  The defense allowed just one first down in the first half.  The offense ran the ball almost exclusively, passing only twice, both completed.
