Hewitt-Trussville Huskies Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Hewitt-Trussville Huskies have elevated assistant coach, John Smith, to the role of defensive coordinator after five seasons developing talent within the program. The Huskies, a 7A power in the AHSAA, have seen a resurgence in recent years, boasting a 22-8 record over the past two seasons. Smith's promotion is expected to bolster the team's defensive unit, which will be crucial in the highly competitive 7A classification. The move also signals a commitment to developing homegrown talent, as the Huskies have been actively recruiting in-state prospects. With the 2026 season on the horizon, Smith's experience and knowledge will be invaluable in preparing the Huskies for a strong campaign. The team is currently in the midst of summer camp, where Smith will be putting his new role to the test.
