Warren Central Warriors' Defensive Coordinator Reportedly Targeted by Rival Ben Davis Giants
Warren Central Warriors' defensive coordinator, Mike Johnson, is rumored to be leaving the program after four seasons to join the Ben Davis Giants, according to sources within the IHSAA. Johnson, 42, has been instrumental in the Warriors' turnaround, helping the team improve from 2-8 in 2019 to 7-4 in 2024. His departure would be a significant loss, as he has been a key recruiter for the program, helping to land several top in-state prospects. If Johnson departs, the Warriors would likely need to replace not only his on-field expertise but also his recruiting prowess. The Giants have been struggling to find consistency on defense, and Johnson's arrival could be a major boost to their program.
