Michael Ricci, who has been Garnet Valley’s head football coach since 1986, is the Week 8 winner of the Philadelphia Eagles Coach of the Week Award. Garnet Valley just finished the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record.
“I always say football is the least important thing that we do. We spend a lot of time all year working on things that really have nothing to do with football. I feel like those kinds of things have been able to translate into success on the field.”
