Cary Harger named Detroit Lions coach of the week

Oakridge head football coach Cary Harger has been named the Detroit Lions coach of the week.

The Eagles knocked off West Michigan Conference rival Whitehall last Thursday to move to 2-0 on the young season.

Harger is 91-21 (.813) in his 11 seasons as head coach at Oakridge.

The Eagles have won five WMC titles, three district crowns and a regional championship back in 2013.

Under Harger's watch, Oakridge has never won fewer than seven games in a season.
