Broadneck's Herrick is Ravens' Coach of the Week

Broadneck football coach Jeff Herrick was named Ravens' High School Coach of the Week after guiding the Bruins to one of the biggest upsets of the fall season, a 44-38 win over No. 4 Old Mill.

The win was bittersweet, because it was not enough to get the Bruins (8-2) into the regional playoffs. Annapolis (8-2) edged them out for the fourth and final berth in the Class 4A East region, because the Panthers won the regular-season meeting, 28-25.

Against Old Mill, two big defensive plays made the difference -- Brian Hanratty's 28-yard interception return and Domenick Johnson's 87-yard fumble return, both for Bruins touchdowns.

Herrick began his coaching career at Meade and has been head coach at Broadneck since 1989.

Herrick is the seventh Baltimore coach to be honored this season by the Ravens, following Patterson's Corey Johnson, Atholton's Kyle Schmitt, Dunbar's Lawrence Smith, Calvert Hall's Donald Davis, Chesapeake-Baltimore County's Mark Junker and River Hill's Brian Van Deusen. North Carolina's James McCormick and Linganore's Rick Conner have also been honored. Each winner receives a $2,000 donation for his school's football program.

One coach will be named the Ravens' High School Coach of the Year at the Ravens' Dec. 13 game against the Detroit Lions at M&T Bank Stadium.
