East St. Louis Flyers Promote Assistant to Coordinator Role

East St. Louis Flyers head coach Mike Jones promoted assistant coach Corey Williams to defensive coordinator after five seasons developing talent and contributing to the team's turnaround. The Flyers, a 6A program, have steadily improved since Jones' arrival, with a 2022 record of 8-4. Williams' expertise is expected to bolster the team's defense, a key area of focus heading into the 2026 season. The promotion also signals the Flyers' commitment to developing homegrown talent, as Williams is a product of the East St. Louis school district. With a strong defense, the Flyers are poised to make a push for the IHSA Class 6A playoffs, and Williams' elevation to coordinator is a key factor in their pre-season preparations.
