New York Giants recognize ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High coach

Mike Ware, football coach, oversees a preseason practice.

The New York Giants, and Gatorade, selected ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ football coach Mike Ware as the Lou Rettino High School Coach of the Week for Week 3. 

In honor of the recognition, the ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High football program will be awarded a $2,000 check. Ware will also receive a certificate signed by Giants coach Brian Daboll and will be a honored guest at a dinner following this season.

The 2022 season marks Ware's sixth season as head coach and his seventh consecutive season with the team. 

The Falcons are 1-1 heading to Ballston Spa on Friday night. The team picked up its first win of the season, and first win since April 2021, on the road last week with a 14-0 victory at Mohonasen. That followed a well-played home opener against Troy. The Falcons led at halftime in that game before Troy rallied in the second half.  

Each week during the football season the Giants select a high school head coach who demonstrates a committment towards promoting youth football, developing motivated student-athletes and who provides community contributions. 

The Falcons' next home game is Oct. 1 against Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake. Kickoff is at noon.

We wish coach Ware, and Falcon football, continued success after a strong start to this season.
