Congratulations to Newton head coach Camiel Grant, the winner of SBLive Georgia's Coach of Week award as voted by Georgia high school sports fans.

Grant captured 78% of the state-wide vote after he and his staff dialed up a near perfect game plan to help take down Parkview on the road. His Rams used several trick plays throughout the game that helped lead to touchdowns and the win keeps their playoff hopes alive as a result.

Here's a look at the other great coaches who were nominated for this this week's honor:

Led by senior quarterback Justin Johnson, the Tigers out-scored the Comets 28-0 in the second half to hand Williams the first staple win of his head coaching career.
