Colts honor Whiteland football coach

Whiteland Community High School football coach Darrin Fisher has been named the Colts/NFL Coach of the Week, a program presented by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

Fisher was selected after the Class 5A Warriors defeated previously unbeaten Class 4A No. 3 Greenwood 56-35 on Friday.

Greenwood entered the game 8-0 looking for its first undefeated regular season since 2003. Led by senior running back Aaron Harris ,who ran for 210 yards on 16 carries with three touchdowns, the Warriors spoiled the Woodmen’s bid. The teams combined for 707 total rushing yards.

Fisher, in his eighth season, has a 57-34 record at Whiteland. This is first time Fisher has been named a Colts Coach of the Week.

The Coach of the Week program was designed to recognize high school coaches who transform the best available athletes into high potential football players through their hard work and dedication to young people.
