Tanner Glisson’s “culture of belief, pride and unity” at Troup High School in LaGrange caught the attention of his school and community.

That culture is considered one reason why his team has succeeded during his tenure, including a 4-0 record this season.

Glisson is the winner in this week’s Falcons High School Coach of the Week voting, the first in a 10-week program recognizing high school football coaches for their impact on and off the field.

As part of the Coach of the Week Program powered by AJC Varsity, the NFL and the Falcons will recognize eight high school varsity tackle football head coaches across Georgia for their hard work and dedication to making a difference in athletes’ lives on and off the field.

Each winning coach will receive a $1,000 grant for their program, recognition from the Falcons and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, along with additional special events. The nominees for the first Falcons Coach of the Week award exemplify coaching excellence with relation to their teams, fan bases and communities.
