The Seattle Seahawks have announced their first High School Coaches of the Week for the 2023 high school football season.

Below are snippets on both coaches on the Seahawks website:

3A/4A – Jamie Plenkovich, Ferndale HS

Coach Plenkovich’s squad knocked off 2A power (2-time state champion) Lynden in the season opener–ending Lynden’s 24 game winning streak.

B/2B or A/2A – Joe Cronin, Archbishop Murphy HS

The Archbishop Murphy Football team defeated the Lake Washington Kangaroos with a walk off FG for a 17-14 victory in Coach Cronin’s first game with the Wildcats. It was the first win in the last 14 games for Archbishop Murphy High School. A great team victory for the Wildcats, and an exciting way to start the season!

Each week during the high school football season, the Seahawks and the Washington State Football Coaches Association select two high school football coaches as the Coach of the Week winners. Each recipient receives a $500 donation to the school’s football program and will be honored on-field at a Seahawks Home Game with their fellow recipients.

At the end of the year, all 20 coaches will come to a Seahawks home game, where they will be recognized with a pregame brunch. One coach will be named Coach of the Year, and they will receive an additional $2,000 towards their football program.
