Coach Wright was nominated and selected for this award after defeating Taylor High School, 49-6. The win was Coach Wright’s 400th of his career, the only coach in Indiana to ever reach that mark. Also, he has now moved into the top 10 nationally in victories for high school head football coaches.
The 2016 season marks the seventeenth year the Indianapolis Colts will be recognizing outstanding Indiana High School football coaches through the Colts/NFL Coach of the Week program, presented by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
All high school head coaches in the state of Indiana are eligible regardless of their school size, league or division.
