Hamilton Huskies Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
Hamilton Huskies head coach John Smith announced Friday the promotion of assistant coach Michael Johnson to defensive coordinator. Johnson, a 3-year member of the Huskies staff, has developed several key players during his tenure, including defensive end Tyler Lee, who earned all-region honors last season. The move is seen as a strategic effort to bolster the Huskies' defense ahead of the upcoming 6A season. Hamilton, which finished 7-4 last year, is expected to contend for a state playoff spot. The promotion also signals the Huskies' commitment to developing in-house talent, as Johnson has been a key recruiter and mentor to the team's younger players. With the move, Johnson will oversee the Huskies' defensive scheme and coordinate game plans. The Huskies' preseason camp begins in late July, with the first game scheduled for late August.
