The Green Bay Packers have announced that Matt Wiederholt of the Benton/Scales Mound (Ill.) cooperative high school football program has been named the Green Bay Packers High School Coach of the Week.
Wiederholt, in his fourth year as the head coach of Benton/Scales Mound, led the Zephyrs to a 36-34 come-from-behind victory over rival Shullsburg High School on Friday, Sept. 4. Benton/Scales Mound’s 3-0 record lands them in a three-way tie atop the Six Rivers Conference and matches their win total from the previous three seasons. Wiederholt’s Zephyrs now will travel to Black Hawk to take on the 2-1 Warriors.
