Sto-Rox Vikings Head Coach Marvin Mills was honored Monday by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the winner of the team’s High School Coach of the Week Award. The Vikings beat Washington 36-0 on Friday night, qualifying for the WPIAL Class 2A playoffs.
“This is a program that we are very proud of,” said Mike Marchinsky, the Steelers’ Youth Football & Player Relations Manager, in a letter to Mills. “(This) recognizes the hard work and dedication that you and your staff have to the football players in our region on and off the field. “
Mills will be a guest of the Steelers this Sunday when they play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Acrisure Stadium at 1:00 p.m. Mills will be honored at the 2:00 warning of the first half, and the Sto-Rox Vikings will also receive a $1,000 donation from the Steelers and the NFL Foundation.
