Week 6 Coach of the Week honors go to Scott Heinauer from Mars High School, who earned his 200th career victory in a 42-21 win against Greensburg Salem. The Planets are enjoying a 5-1 start to their season, which features a highly successful rushing attack, the trademark of Coach Heinauer team. In his first season as head coach of the Planets in 1992, they won only one game. But in his following 27 seasons, they have only had a losing season four other times. Congratulations on win number 200!
