Loyola Academy Tabs Assistant as New Coordinator

Loyola Academy has promoted assistant coach Michael Reed to the role of defensive coordinator, the program announced Thursday. Reed, a four-year member of the Ramblers' staff, has developed a strong defensive unit that helped Loyola Academy post a 7-4 record in 2025, including a 4-2 mark in the challenging East Suburban Catholic Conference. As coordinator, Reed will oversee the program's defensive scheme and recruiting efforts, which have been a key factor in the Ramblers' recent success. The move is expected to have a significant impact on the program's competitive standing in the 8A classification, where Loyola Academy will face stiff competition from perennial powerhouses like St. Ignatius and Fenwick.
