Matt Miracle was recognized for the fourth week of fall football season.
In receiving the award, R.L. Paschal High School’s football program will receive a $2,000 grant from the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Foundation and Whataburger.
This is the 21st year the weekly award has recognized North Texas coaches.
According to the Dallas Cowboy’s website, the award recognizes coaches who are making a positive impact on their teams, school and community with their dedication to young athletes.
In January, Miracle will be honored in front of more than 80,000 football fans at the AT&T Stadium during the Dallas Cowboys game against the Washington Redskins.
