Tigers' Coach Signs Contract Extension
West Des Moines Valley head coach, Mike Johnson, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The move comes after the Tigers' back-to-back playoff appearances in Class 4A. Johnson's leadership has contributed to the program's recent success, including a 12-2 record in 2024 and a 10-3 mark in 2025. The contract extension is expected to have a significant impact on recruiting, as top prospects are likely to take notice of the stability and commitment to the program. The move also sets the stage for a competitive 2026 season, as the Tigers look to build on their recent success and make a deep run in the playoffs. Johnson's extension is a testament to his ability to lead the team to success and will likely be a major factor in the program's continued growth and development.
