Mater Dei Monarchs Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Mater Dei Monarchs, a perennial powerhouse in Southern California, have elevated assistant coach Ryan O'Hara to defensive coordinator after four seasons developing talent within the program. The Monarchs, who have won six CIF-SS Open Division championships since 2015, have consistently produced top-ranked recruiting classes and feature a roster stocked with Division I talent. O'Hara's promotion is expected to solidify the Monarchs' defensive unit, which will be crucial in their quest for a seventh Open Division title. As a coordinator, O'Hara will oversee the development of the team's defensive scheme and work closely with head coach Ryan Vechery to prepare the Monarchs for the upcoming season. The move is seen as a strategic move to bolster the program's depth and competitiveness in the highly competitive CIF-SS Open Division.
