Flowery Branch, GA – Landmark Christian Head Football Coach Wayne Brantley has been named the Atlanta Falcons Coach of the Week presented by Ford. Coach Brantley is 3-1 this season, including wins over Christian Heritage, Lithia Springs and Josey.
Coach Brantley has coached for Landmark Christian for four years and has brought the team to the playoffs every year, including the State Semifinals in 2012. He also was named Region 5A Coach of the Year in 2013.
In addition to his on-field coaching achievements, Coach Brantley involves his program in the community in several capacities. Each year, he takes his team to the Atlanta Community Food Bank, leads community cleaning projects and assists with a local community garden. He also provides a football camp for students with special needs at Joseph Sams School.
Coach Brantley has also been involved in football player safety by providing concussion testing for each player, as well as leading the initiative to provide an athletic trainer at Landmark Christian. He also teaches proper football fundamentals to not only his players, but also athletes in the younger programs.
