The Denver Broncos have named Troy Ward of Rampart High School as the Week 5 winner of its Coach of the Week Award. Rampart, who is his second year as the Rams’ head coach, has his team at 4-1 heading into this weekend’s game against Pueblo West.
Below is the story written about Coach Ward on DenverBroncos.com.
Troy Ward, Rampart HS
Troy Ward has learned very quickly that consistency is crucial when building a successful football program.
Ward is in his second year as head coach for Rampart after being on staff for five years before that as defensive coordinator. Coach Rob Royer’s departure led to Ward being named as the new coach and he’s been able to keep things consistent while putting his own twist on the program.
Ward started 1-4 as coach of the Rams but has gone 8-2 in his last 10 games. The only blemish for Rampart this year was an overtime loss to Vista Ridge but it was just last week that the Rams beat Class 4A RPI No. 1 Fountain-Fort Carson 17-14.
With such a signature win for his team, Ward earned this week’s distinction as the Denver Broncos High School Coach of the Week.
The Broncos coach of the week is selected in partnership with Colorado High School Activities Association and the Broncos.
Each winner’s program will receive a $1,000 grant from the NFL Foundation, as well as $1,000 in product from Gatorade. All winners will be honored at a Broncos game during the season.
