Free State Firebirds Promote Assistant to Coordinator Role
Lawrence Free State Firebirds head coach, Mike Berg, has elevated assistant coach, Ryan Thompson, to offensive coordinator. Thompson has spent four seasons developing talent in the Firebirds' program, which has seen a resurgence in recent years. The Firebirds have been a consistent 6A power, boasting a 24-8 record over the past three seasons. Thompson's promotion is expected to bolster the team's recruiting efforts, particularly in the Kansas City metropolitan area. As the Firebirds prepare for the upcoming season, Thompson's experience and knowledge of the program will be crucial in shaping the team's strategy. His elevation also signals a renewed emphasis on developing a high-powered offense, which could make the Firebirds a formidable opponent in the 6A classification.
