Soldotna Stars Hire New Wide Receivers Coach

The Soldotna Stars have hired former Kenai Central assistant coach, Tyler Johnson, as their new wide receivers coach. Johnson replaces outgoing coach, Alex Smith, who resigned after two seasons. The Stars finished 5-4 in 2025, their first season in 3A. Johnson's hiring is seen as a significant boost to the program's recruiting efforts, particularly in the Central Peninsula region. The Stars will look to build on their momentum and challenge for a 3A Southern Conference title. With Johnson's expertise, the team's passing game is expected to improve, making them a more formidable opponent in the upcoming season. The Stars' August camp is just around the corner, and Johnson's arrival is already generating buzz among local football fans.
