The Chicago Bears name Chicago Academy head coach Anthony Dotson the Week 6 winner of the team’s High School Coach of the Week Award.
Below is a snippet from the Bears on why they are honoring Coach Dotson:
“On Oct. 1, Coach Dotson helped lead his team, the Chicago Academy Cougars (4-2), to a 34-0 away conference game victory against the Roosevelt Rough Riders (1-5) of Chicago. This victory places the Cougars first in their Chicago Public Blue North Conference for the first time in school history and their first conference championship. Dotson, a Bronzeville native, was promoted as Chicago Academy’s Head Coach in the Spring of 2021 after being an assistant for two years. Coming into his second season as head coach, he helped the Cougars to back-to-back winning seasons after the team only had three winning seasons since 2004. Outside of football, Dotson is a Dean of Students who promotes a positive environment for student learning and development by implementing and monitoring positive behavior intervention support programs. He guides his students/athletes on the right path by using personal stories that can help motivate them. The Cougars will host the Marine Leadership Academy Bulldogs (0-6) on Saturday.”
