The Minnesota Vikings name Cherry High School’s Jason Marsh as their latest Coach of the Week. Below is what the Vikings said about Coach Marsh on their website:
Coach Jason Marsh has led the Cherry High School Tigers to an impressive 4-0 start this season. Marsh took over coaching in 2015 and fielded the first varsity team at Cherry in 2019. In 2015, only 4 players signed up to play on the 9-man football team – that increased 12-fold over the next 8 years, with 29 players on varsity and 20 players on the junior high team this season. In the 2022 season, Cherry’s only two losses came to Mountain Iron-Buhl, the eventual state champion. Marsh credits his assistants and the ability to have a consistent coaching staff as a contributor to success. He has built an impressive program through five core values which are posted in their locker room – hard work, commitment, respect, team, and school. Off the field, Marsh is a science teacher at Cherry. He and his wife have three children and reside near Esko.

About the Vikings Coach of the Week Award
After each week of games during the high school football season, the Vikings honor a high school coach of the week. Coaches are chosen based on their contribution on the football field, but more importantly, on the impact they make within their community and for their student-athletes. In addition to being recognized in local media for the achievement, the school’s football program receives a $1,000 donation on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings.
