Service Cougars Name New Coordinator

The Service Cougars have promoted assistant coach Ryan Thompson to coordinator, the program announced Thursday. Thompson spent three seasons developing the team's offense, helping the Cougars improve from a 2-7 record in 2023 to a 5-4 finish in 2025. The 4A program is looking to build on that momentum, and Thompson's elevation to coordinator is seen as a key move in that effort. The Cougars will face a tough schedule in 2026, with several top-ranked teams from the Matanuska-Susitna Valley Conference. Recruiting efforts will be crucial in filling the void left by graduating seniors, and Thompson's experience in developing young talent will be invaluable in that process.
