The San Francisco 49ers have named Woodside High School varsity football coach Steve Nicolopulos as the 2004 Charlie Wedemeyer coach of the year.

The award is in recognition of a perfect 2004 season for the Woodside Wildcats, who went 13-0 in regular and post-season play and were the only undefeated team in the Central Coast Section, a 49ers statement said.

The Wildcats won the title for the Medium School Division after a 36-20 victory over Westmont High School on November 30. Nicolopulos is the athletic director at Woodside and is in his second stint as head football coach.
