Firebirds Coach Signs Extension Through 2029
Lawrence Free State Firebirds head coach, Ryan Cornelsen, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The move comes after back-to-back playoff runs for the 6A program, which boasts a 24-6 record over the past two years. The extension is seen as a vote of confidence in Cornelsen's leadership and a signal that the program is committed to long-term success. With the Kansas high school football landscape becoming increasingly competitive, the Firebirds' stability will be crucial in attracting top talent. Cornelsen has been instrumental in recruiting and developing players, and his extension is expected to help the program maintain its momentum. The Firebirds will look to build on their recent success and make a deep run in the playoffs this fall.
