New York City, NY-The New York Jets announced today Dave Cadelina of Bridgeport Central High School has been named this week's recipient of the New York Jets High School Coach of the Week Award. For his efforts he will receive $1,000 to benefit his football program and will be presented with a plaque from the New York Jets during an event at the end of the season. 

In its ninth year, the award is given to a coach in the Tri-State area who serves the best interests of the game through the teaching of sound football fundamentals, the motivation of young players to achieve and the promotion of youth football by way of dedication to their community, their school and their student-athletes. 

Coach Cadelina has been the head coach for the last eight years and holds a 48-33-1 record during his tenure. His current squad has earned the distinction of owning the best season in school history with a 9-0 record. Cadelina also teaches math at Central High School and resides in Bethany, CT. 

Last weekend, the Bridgeport Central High Hilltoppers defeated the Trumbull Eagles, 40-18, to become the West Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference (FCIAC) Champions and secure the school’s first-ever FCIAC Championship game berth. Coach Cadelina and his team will take on the Greenwich Cardinals tonight for the FCIAC Championship at New Canaan High School.
