Charlotte – Swain’s Neil Blankenship was recognized at the Carolina Panthers Green Bay game this past Sunday. Earlier in the year Blankenship had been selected as a 2017 High School Coach of the Week.
The 2017 High School Coach of the Week program presented by Toshiba is a joint initiative of
the Carolina Panthers and the National Football League. The program is designed to recognize
North and South Carolina high school coaches who make positive impacts in the lives of their
student-athletes and their school communities, while promoting player health and safety.
All High School football coaches throughout the Carolinas are encouraged to apply for the High
School Football Coach of the week program, regardless of size, division, organization or league.
Evaluations of coaches are based off impact towards their community, schools, and individuals.
