The Week 9 Atlanta Falcons High School Coach of the Week is Matthew Hazel of Terrell High. Hazel narrowly beat out Pace Academy’s Ty Johnson and Calvary Day’s Nick Grassi, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the team.
Hazel has been steadily building the Therrel girls’ flag football program, taking the team to the playoffs last year. He’s also the head coach of the boys’ soccer program.
Under his guidance, the members of the flag football team have participated in various community service projects ranging from HOSAs blood drive to the school’s canned food drive.
Our winner for week nine is in!
