2025 Winners
Week #1: Head Coach Dave Hajek - Washougal (2A)
Coach Dave Hajek has been a football and track & field coach impacting student-athletes lives for more than 3 decades including 20 years as the head football coach and 30 years as the head track & field coach at Washougal High School. Coach Hajek also graduated from Washougal in 1987 where he then attended and walked on the football team at Eastern Washington University. Washougal, a small but mighty program had a dominate kickoff win for the season against a bigger 3A Mountain View team 56-33.
Coach Hajek had this to say in response to his Coach of the Week honors "I am honored that I would be selected for this award and truly feel blessed that anyone recognizes the hard work that the coaches and the athletes have done here at Washougal High School. I will accept this honor for the Kids and the other coaches I have the pleasure to work with. Thank you for this honor and GO Hawks!"
Week #1: Head Coach Jeff Logan - Graham-Kapowsin (4A)
Jeff Logan has been with the GK program for over 12 years now. He enters his 4th season as the head coach after taking over for legendary head coach Eric Kurle. GK kicked off the year with an incredible 40-38 thriller of a win against reigning 3A state champions O'Dea. Coach Logan grew up in Graham and played for GK, he then went on to play at Montana Western in college where his love of the game continued. He has an amazing wife Abby who is very supportive of the program and has his dad and brother on the coaching staff as well, so it is safe to say they are a football family!
"Beating Odea was a huge steppingstone for our young athletes in their maturation process. They were forced into a situation that made them grow up as young men, I am extremely proud of their resiliency and toughness. Our team motto is E.A.T. and I thought out effort, attitude and toughness were on full display last Friday night. Our offense tallied 375 total yards and scored 40 points while our defense was tasked with stopping a physical football team that runs the ball well. They created two turnovers when it mattered most to help propel us to a victory." Said coach Logan!
