Penn Charter's McCloskey Is "Coach of the Week"

For the second time in five years, the National Football League (NFL) and the Philadelphia Eagles have honored Brian McCloskey, head coach of the Penn Charter School varsity football team, as "Coach of the Week."

McCloskey was honored for outstanding coaching and dedication to his players. He won the same award in 2002.

McCloskey received the award at Veterans Stadium before the start of the Eagles' game against the Carolina Panthers. He was presented with a certificate signed by Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, Eagles Coach Andy Reid, and Gene Washington, director of NFL football operations. McCloskey also was awarded $1000 for use in the school's football program, plus two tickets for that day's game.
