Elk River head coach Steve Hamilton is this week’s Minnesota Vikings High School Coach of the Week.
Below is a snippet from the Vikings website about Coach Hamilton:
Steve Hamilton is in his 25th season as a head football coach, including 12 years with Elk River. During his tenure with the Elks, Hamilton has a record of 91-36, including five section championships and one state championship. Hamilton also teaches social studies at Elk River High School.
Hamilton got into coaching to give back to the game that helped him so much. He strives to give student-athletes a positive experience and help them understand that when we work together, anything is possible. Hamilton hopes that student-athletes leave Elk River with the ability to overcome the difficult times, the willingness to embrace hard work, and always strive to be kind and giving people.
Minnesota Vikings
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.
