Vote: Alabama High School Football Coach of the Week (9/17/2024)

We have chosen four candidates from last week's games

Alabama high school football is back and so begins our Coach of the Week poll for the entire state. Coaches around the Yellowhammer State led their teams to big wins in Week 4 of the regular season.

As such, we have four head coaches nominated this week for the SBLive’s Alabama High School Football Coach of the Week award from September 12-14, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the coach selected.

Congratulations to last week's winner: Chip English, Hoover

Looking to bounce back from its first loss of the season, Hoover was going to need to pull off a win on the road against Hillcrest. English and crew did, leading his team to a convincing 35-6 victory, improving to 2-1.

Here are this week's nominees:

Tim Carter, Fairhope

Since dropping the first game of the season to Spanish Fort, Carter has his team on a roll. Carter has led his Fairhope squad to three straight wins, latest being a 42-25 win over Davidson.

Mark Hudspeth, Gulf Shores

An 0-3 start didn't deter Hudspeth's Dolphins from pulling off win No. 1 last week. Hudspeth led his Gulf Shores team to a convincing 28-10 victory over McGill-Toolen.

Tim Vakakes, Spain Park

In one of the state's most hotly contested Week 3 games, Vakakes pressed all the right buttons for the Jaguars. The Spain Park lead man led them to a 28-26 win over Helena.

Trent Taylor, Andalusia

After an 0-2 start for the Bulldogs, the longtime Andalusia head coach has to shake up his squad. Taylor has led them to bac-to-back victories, including last week's 26-24 win over Greenville.
