Good Deed: Athens coach saluted as Teacher of the Week

American Paper & Twine Co., Titans Radio and Georgia-Pacific Communication Papers selected Coach Brian Kyle at McMinn County High School in Athens, Tenn., Teacher of the Week. Each week during the Tennessee Titans' football season, a winning teacher receives a $400 gift basket of classroom supplies and two tickets to see a Titans home game. At season's end, a Teacher of the Year is chosen from weekly winners. This deserving teacher will receive an award, school supplies (worth approximately $800) and tickets to the Dec. 28 game vs. the Indianapolis Colts. Coach Kyle was nominated by one of his students, Hailey McCollister. McCollister said, "The expectations are high, but the atmosphere is so uplifting and positive. It's just a wonderful place to be. It's how school should be -- fun and exciting, yet where learning definitely occurs every class period of every day."
