Vote: Florida High School Football Coach of the Week (9/24/2024)
Florida high school football is back and so begins our Coach of the Week poll for the entire state. Coaches around the Sunshine State led their teams to big wins in Week 5 of the regular season.
As such, we have five head coaches nominated this week for the SBLive’s Florida High School Football Coach of the Week award from September 19-21, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the coach selected.
Congratulations to last week's winner: Adam Gore, Chiefland
Gore is very familiar with Chiefland and if anyone knows the Indians, it's him. Chiefland continued its winning ways and improved to 4-0 after a 38-20 win over Lafayette.
Here are the candidates for SBLive’s Florida High School Coach of the Week for Sep. 19-Sep. 21 as nominated by fans, readers and SBLive’s staff. Read through the nominees and cast your vote at the bottom of the page. Voting will conclude on Sunday, Sept. 29th at 11:59 p.m and the winner will be announced with our next poll. If you would like to nominate a coach, please email villamarzo@scorebooklive.com or tag us on Twitter or Instagram at @SBLiveFL.
SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. - SBLive Sports

Not many had the Cougars beating Bishop Veort, but Clark had his kids believing in a 49-28 victory over the Vikings.
