Apopka Blue Darters Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role

The Apopka Blue Darters have elevated assistant coach, Michael Johnson, to defensive coordinator after four seasons developing talent in the 8A program. Johnson's tenure saw the Blue Darters' defense improve significantly, culminating in a 7-4 record last season. The promotion is expected to bolster the team's recruiting efforts, as Johnson's familiarity with the program and local talent will aid in attracting top prospects. The move also positions the Blue Darters to compete more aggressively in the highly competitive Lake Region Conference, where they'll face stiff competition from teams like Dr. Phillips and Wekiva.
