Coach Andres Perez has done well coaching this
football season, leading our Warriors to an impressive
(6-1) record, and many people are starting to take
notice of his accomplishments. Most impressive of
which includes our very own Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The NFL team recently nominated Perez for the
Coach of the Week award during week four of their
new program, following the Warriors 38-17 win over
district opponent Sarasota Riverview in their homecoming
game. Coach Perez is the first football coach
in Steinbrenner history to be nominated for such an
award, while also being the fourth coach ever to receive
it.
This year happens to be the first that the Buccaneers
are doing their Coach of the Week program where they
recognize successful and respectable coaches who
have also been actively involved within their communities.
Coach Perez won with a grand total of 40% of
all votes in his favor.
“It was great a great thing for our school and for our
football team,” said Coach Perez.
Along with winning the title of Coach of the Week,
he also won the team $1,000 dollars to help fund various
things such as new equipment or trips to away
games.
“I plan on using the money to buy new footballs,”
said Perez.
The Warriors have had a very impressive season so
far and so no signs of slowing down as they hope to
keep improving their gameplay for future games.
