Cypress High School football coach Rick Feldman has been selected the Los Angeles Chargers Orange County Coach of the Week.

The program receives $1,000 from the Los Angeles Chargers.

“We will use the $1,000 towards football equipment or maybe a team meal,” Feldman said Thursday.

Cypress, 2-0 on the season, meets Western, also 2-0 Thursday night at Western. Western is the home team.

This is Feldman’s ninth year at Cypress. The Centurions have won the last three league titles and are 29-5 since the start of the 2019 season.

“In the last four full seasons we have gone to the (CIF) semis twice and the finals once,” Feldman said.

Feldman indicated he enjoys making an impact.

“My favorite part of coaching is helping our players become better people off the field and better players on it,” he said. “And I love game night.”
