The 10th Minnesota Vikings High School Coach of the Week in 2022 is Sauk Centre’s Charlie Warring.
Below is a snippet from the Vikings website about Coach Warring:
Charlie Warring, a recently retired health and physical education teacher, is in his second stint as the head football coach of Sauk Centre (2010-2014 & 2021-2022). Warring also served as the head baseball coach (18 years) and assistant wrestling coach (10 years) during his career.
Game day is a family affair in the Warring household. His wife Kari is their biggest fan, their daughter Maggie is the sideline photographer, their youngest son Eli is the ball boy, and their eldest son Matthew played quarterback and defensive end on this year’s team.
The 2022 football season was highlighted by winning the Section 6AA Championship and earning a trip to the State Tournament for the third time in school history.
“I truly enjoy the competition and strategy involved with the game of football. But, more than that, I love working with the youth of today. A main area of focus is guiding and encouraging these kids to be leaders and influential students within our school environment, and my greatest hope is that they will all become contributing members of the community.”
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.
