Flowery Branch, GA – Jones County High School Head Football Coach Justin Rogers has been named the Atlanta Falcons Coach of the Week presented by Ford. Coach Rogers is 8-1 this season including wins over Morgan County, Cross Creek, Greenbrier, Grovetown, Lakeside, Houston County, Evans and Academy of Richmond County.
Coach Rogers was named the Middle Georgia Coach of the Year and Citizen of the Year for Jones County in 2014. Coach Rogers was also the Head Coach of the All-Star East and West game in 2014.
In addition to his coaching achievements, Coach Rogers and his football program are actively involved in the community.
