Football is the ultimate team sport. It takes everyone on the roster to win a game on Friday nights. Coaching a football team is the same. While the head coach gives the interview, and the record is next to his name it’s not the work of just one person that brings home victories.
This season PrepsKC and DM Injury Law will honor those assistant coaches who do the little things behind the scenes that not only lead to wins but develop athletes not just as players but people too.
Each week head coaches from across the Metro will nominate their staff for the honor. PrepsKC will select one staff to have their story told and be honored for their work.
This week’s coaching staff of the week is Randy Dreiling’s defensive staff at St. Thomas Aquinas.
The Saints’ defense is one of the best units in the Metro and has done nothing but get better each week. Last week Aquinas defeated Blue Valley Southwest 59-10 for to keep its record a perfect 4-0. The staff is Steve Rampy (DC/LB), Chris Johnson (DE), Chuck Tolson (DL), Karl Calini (Safeties) and Devin Washington (CB).
This is the first year Rampy has been the defensive coordinator and Dreiling said the staff has done a good job with the change.
“Our defensive staff has embraced the hard work Coach Rampy has put in and to this point have done a great job keeping opponents out of the endzone,” Dreiling said.
To nominate your staff for this honor, send nominations to PrepsKC’s Dion Clisso at dion@prepskc.com by midnight Sunday each week.
