Samantha Camp of Mt. Zion High School was voted the Falcons High School Girls Flag Football Coach of the Week for Week 5.

Her nomination read, in part: “Watching her at practice, it is hard-pressed to know that our program is new, not only to our school but to our Lady Eagles who are competing. She has been able to work out finding room in our shared and busy schedules with athletes, ample time to practice, appropriate space to carry out practices, as well as community support to help jump-start our program. Her level of excitement has certainly contributed to the success factor of getting so many on board, and heading in a common direction so quickly.”

As part of the High School Coach of the Week Program powered by AJC Varsity, the NFL and the Falcons will recognize five high school girls flag 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 Falcons Coach of the Week award exemplify coaching excellence with relation to their teams, fan bases and communities.
