Matt Dobson named Falcons High School Coach of the Week

Matt Dobson’s philosophy at Statesboro High School has been called “a holistic approach that emphasizes personal growth and team unity (and) is taking deep root.”
That approach is considered one reason why his team has a 4-2 record and is tied for second place in Region 1, Class 5A in the Georgia High School Association.
Dobson is the winner for Week 2 of the Falcons High School Coach of the Week voting, 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.
