Palatine High School head coach Corey Olson has been named the Chicago Bears High School "Coach of the Week" for Week 4. The Bears will make a $2,000 donation to the Palatine HS football program in his honor.

Olson's Pirates (2-2) overcame a 17-13 deficit with 12 minutes left in the game to win 20-19 vs. Maine South (3-1) last week, despite playing without one of their top receivers who missed the game due to an injury; Maine South was ranked No. 1 in the AP Class 8A poll at the time. Palatine started the season 0-2 before posting back-to-back victories. Olson has been head coach since 2017 and is also a special education teacher at Palatine; he played college football at Western Illinois University. They will face off at Schaumburg (2-2) on Friday.

The "Coach of the Week" program is brought to you by Athletico Physical Therapy.
