The Chicago Bears are honoring Fabray Collins of Englewood STEM High School as their Coach of the Week.
Below is part of a news release on Coach Collins honor:
In a 28-20 home victory over the Collins Warriors (8-1) of Chicago, Coach Collins led his Englewood STEM Panthers (9-0) to their first conference title in school history. This victory enabled the Panthers to win their first-ever Chicago Public League (CPL) Blue Southwest Division Championship with a 5-0 conference record with an undefeated regular season. Coach Fabray is the school’s first-ever coach in the program’s history and has already led the team to a championship in the second year of the program’s existence. Coach Collins is also the school’s security and the head coach for the boys varsity track team. By utilizing sports and education, he has helped his student-athletes stay off the streets in Englewood, one of the city’s roughest and underfunded neighborhoods. Coach Fabray and the Panthers are looking forward to next year’s season in the hope of repeating the same success and qualifying for the IHSA playoffs for the first time in their program’s history.
