South River Seahawks Ed Dolch Named Coach Of The Week

EDGEWATER, MD — Ed Dolch, varsity head football coach of the South River Seahawks in Edgewater, has been named the Ravens High School Coach of the Week for the ninth week of the 2019 season.

The Seahawks completed an undefeated regular season, captured the Anne Arundel County championship and clinched the top seed in the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA) Class 4A East Region playoffs.

“To see the kids in our senior class go from a 1-9 team when they were freshmen to county champions as seniors, they are the reason I coach. They have bought into our philosophy, worked around the calendar in the weight room and it’s paying off for them now. They are great young men," Dolch said in a statement.

Each week during the season, the Ravens honor a high school coach who has made a significant impact on his student-athletes. All 10 Coach of the Week winners receive a $2,000 donation to their school’s football program and an award from Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. In addition, each coach will attend the Ravens-Jets game at M&T Bank Stadium on Dec. 12 for an opportunity to be named the Ravens High School Coach of the Year.

These initiatives are just one piece of Ravens RISE, the team’s football outreach program presented by MedStar Sports Medicine. Ravens RISE impacts a range of area football players from youth to high school, providing them with a year-round opportunity to “Play Like A Raven” through clinics, tournaments, grants, ticket donations and exclusive opportunities to play at M&T Bank Stadium and interact with Ravens players and coaches.
