Warren has reason to cheer this week as JuWan Shakespear, head football coach at Warren Fitzgerald High School, has been named the Detroit Lions High School Football Coach of the Week for Week 2 of the 2026 season.
The recognition, awarded by the Detroit Lions organization, highlights outstanding coaching performance across Michigan high school football each week of the season. Shakespear’s selection puts Warren Fitzgerald — and the city of Warren — squarely in the spotlight, celebrating the hard work and dedication that goes into developing young student-athletes on and off the field.
Warren Fitzgerald High School has long been a proud part of the Warren community, and honors like this one reflect the commitment coaches and players bring to the program every single week. Being singled out by an NFL franchise for coaching excellence is a meaningful milestone, not just for Coach Shakespear personally, but for the entire Fitzgerald football family — players, parents, and fans alike.
The Detroit Lions’ Coach of the Week program shines a light on the educators and mentors who give so much of their time to shape young people through the sport of football. Coach Shakespear’s recognition is a testament to the kind of positive, community-centered leadership that makes high school athletics so valuable.
Congratulations to Coach JuWan Shakespear and the Warren Fitzgerald Cuts on this well-deserved honor. Warren is proud of you!
