Joshua Newman of Green Mountain honored as Broncos High School Flag Coach of the Week

The Denver Broncos have named Joshua Newman of the Green Mountain Rams as this week’s Broncos High School Flag Coach of the Week. The recognition spotlights the work being done in Colorado high school flag football, with the Broncos partnering with the Colorado High School Activities Association, CHSAA, to elevate standout coaching efforts during the season.

Newman’s Green Mountain program enters the award week after winning its league, a milestone that positions the Rams to keep building momentum as the postseason picture tightens. The Broncos’ release frames the honor as part of a broader push to recognize coaches whose teams are competing consistently and developing players through the full run of the schedule.

The flag football distinction matters in part because it sits alongside the parallel tackle football spotlight. According to the Broncos and CHSAA initiative, one coach from a flag program and one coach from a tackle program are recognized each week throughout the season, creating a steady drumbeat of awards that tracks coaching performance across both formats of the sport.

For Newman and Green Mountain, the weekly accolade also functions as a public validation of the program’s process, not just a single-game outcome. The release emphasizes that, after league success, the Rams are “well-positioned” to finish strong and pursue a deep postseason run, underscoring the expectation that strong coaching should translate into late-season execution.

While the award highlights Newman’s season to date, it does not specify statistical details, rankings, or postseason seeding in the announcement. What is clear is the structure of the recognition and its timing, as the Broncos and CHSAA plan to keep naming coaches on a weekly basis, ensuring the honor remains tied to ongoing performance rather than end-of-season retrospection.

The next watch item for Green Mountain will be whether the Rams can carry the same continuity that produced league success into the late-season phase, where every possession and every adjustment tends to matter. With Newman’s coaching now receiving league-wide visibility, the Rams’ subsequent games will serve as the most direct proof point for the trajectory described in this week’s announcement.

For Colorado prep football fans, the “Coach of the Week” program is also a way to track storylines across the state, since each award cycles through different schools and different coaching styles. As CHSAA and the Broncos continue the weekly honors, the growing list of featured programs should offer a useful snapshot of who is building toward postseason success in both flag and tackle football.
