The Miami native and former Cardinals signal caller guided his alma mater to a state championship in just his first season.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Less than a year after being named the head coach of Miami Northwestern High School, Teddy Bridgewater is already a state champion.
Bridgewater inherited a Bulls program that had gone just 4-6 in 2023 under previous head coach Michalee Harris, who is also a Louisville alum. After starting the year at 2-2, Miami Northwestern then fired off a 10-game winning streak to finish the year at 12-2 overall. In their five Class 3A playoff games, they out-scored their opponents 262-12.
Bridgewater is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the Louisville football program. In 39 career games with the Cardinals from 2011 to 2013, he completed 68.4 percent of his passes for 9,817 yards and 72 touchdowns to just 24 interceptions. A four-star prospect in the Class of 2011, Bridgewater was inserted as the starter just a few games into his freshman campaign. By the end of the year, he had completed 64.5 percent of his throws for 2,129 yards and 14 touchdowns to 12 interceptions, helping Louisville go 7-6 with a berth in the Belk Bowl.
