This week on Inside the Headset we are featuring Somers High School Head Coach and 2016 Power of Influence award recipient Tony DeMatteo's session from the AFCA Convention.

Tony DeMatteo is currently the head coach at Somers (N.Y.) High School. Having been there 20 years, DeMatteo has a wide array of experiences, including leading the team to its first-ever state championship. DeMatteo began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Bridgeport University, in 1964, after lettering for three years at the University of Rhode Island. After a year at Bridgeport, where DeMatteo earned his master’s degree, he went on to become an assistant coach at Roosevelt (N.Y.) High School. With five years as an assistant at Roosevelt, DeMatteo became the head coach of the football team in 1969, where he would serve as the leader for 31 years and cement his legacy as an outstanding coach.
