Ashburn, VA - The Washington Redskins announced that Coach Keith King of Potomac High School has been named this week's NFL Coach of the Week.

On Friday night, Potomac High School defeated the highly favored Hylton High School 29-19. That ended Hylton's 39 game winning streak. Hylton has won the past two Virginia Group AAA Division 6 State championships.

The Coach of the Week program aids in the development of youth football. Each of the coaches chosen throughout the high school season will receive a $500 donation from NFL Charities to the Coach of the Week's football program, a framed certificate signed by Commissioner Tagliabue, Coach Turner and Gene Washington NFL Director of Football Operations, and a Redskins hat with "Coach of the Week" embroidered on the back.

The Redskins have teamed up with SportsCombine.com to select the Coach of the Week. SportsCombine.com, a free service, is an Internet-based, database-driven website that provides high school, youth and adult sports information throughout the nation.
