Each week during the high school football season, The Baltimore Sun and the Baltimore Ravens will select one tackle football and one girls flag football Coach of the Week.
Here are the winners for Week 9:
Tackle football
Jason Budroni, St. Mary’s: Budroni’s Saints are hot at the right time, riding a four-game winning streak into the playoffs. That streak includes a shootout win over Loyola Blakefield, a double overtime thriller over Calvert Hall and was capped with a dominant win over rival, Severn, on Halloween. St. Mary’s will square off against McDonough in this weekend’s MIAA A Conference playoffs.
Girls flag football
Brian Sweene, Linganore: Sweene is in his third season leading Linganore, and the Lancers are headed back to the state tournament for the second consecutive year. The Lancers were Frederick County runners-up and 2A/1A West Region champions after knocking off Boonsboro and Damascus on Tuesday. Linganore will play in the state semifinals Friday at M&T Bank Stadium.
