Madison Memorial first-year football coach Michael Harris was named the Green Bay Packers high school coach of the week, the Packers announced.

Harris led the Spartans to a 41-27 victory over host Janesville Craig last Friday, a victory that clinched Memorial’s first Big Eight Conference title since 2009. The Spartans and Sun Prairie each finished 8-1 and shared the conference title. Memorial defeated Sun Prairie; its loss was to Verona.
