Evangel Christian Elevates Assistant to Coordinator Role
Evangel Christian Eagles head coach, Scottie Harper, announced the promotion of assistant coach, Jordan Smith, to defensive coordinator. Smith spent five seasons developing the program's defensive unit, helping the Eagles improve their performance in the LHSAA 5A classification. In that time, the team secured a 32-16 record, including a 2023 playoff appearance. Smith's familiarity with the team's system and talent will likely lead to a more cohesive defensive strategy. The move is expected to have a positive impact on recruiting, as Smith's reputation within the coaching community will attract top defensive prospects. As the Eagles prepare for the upcoming season, the elevation of Smith to coordinator will be a key factor in determining their success in the competitive 5A division.
