The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Wednesday that Fort Osage High School’s Ryan Schartz and Louisburg High School’s Gary Griffin have been named the Missouri and Kansas High School Coach of the Week, respectively.

Schartz received accolades following Fort Osage’s 44-8 victory over North Kansas City. Griffin received the honor after Louisburg blanked Paola 14-0.

The 2009 High School Coach of the Week program is a joint initiative of the Kansas City Chiefs, the Chiefs Ambassadors and the National Football League. Supported locally by the U.S. Army, this program is designed to recognize and reward Kansas City area high school coaches for superior performance throughout the year.

A Chiefs Ambassador and a U.S. Army representative will be on hand at each week’s presentation to honor the recipient. All media members are invited to attend each special tribute to honor these individuals who are shaping today’s youth and tomorrow’s leaders.
