Northridge's Luke Amstutz named Indianapolis Colts 2026 Coach of the Week for Week 9

The Indianapolis Colts announced on 2026-10-19 that Northridge High School head coach Luke Amstutz was named the team's 2026 'Coach of the Week' for Week 9. The Colts' release says Northridge (Class 4A No. 8) defeated previously undefeated Class 5A No. 4 Warsaw 37-30 at home, and that the win gave the Raiders their first Northern Lakes Conference crown since 2017.

The Colts said 2026 is the 27th year the organization has recognized outstanding Indiana high school coaches. One coach is named each week by a panel of football media, former athletic directors and other state football representatives; all Indiana high school head coaches are eligible regardless of school size, league or division. Amstutz previously earned Colts Coach of the Week honors in 2013 (Week 8) and 2015 (Week 9). The Week 9 award was sponsored in part by Certor Sports, and the Colts' announcement noted that each winning coach's school will receive a $2,000 donation and a commemorative plaque at the conclusion of the high school season. The release also listed additional Week 9 honorable mentions by region.
