Edna Karr Elevates Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Edna Karr Cougars, a 4A program based in New Orleans, have promoted assistant coach Michael Thompson to defensive coordinator. Thompson has spent five seasons developing talent within the program, including several key contributors to the team's recent success. The Cougars have posted a 25-15 record over the past five seasons, including a 10-2 mark in 2024. Thompson's elevation is expected to have a significant impact on the team's recruiting efforts, particularly in the defensive backfield. With the loss of several key defensive players to graduation, Thompson's expertise will be crucial in shaping the unit's identity. The Cougars will look to build on their recent success in the upcoming season, and Thompson's promotion is seen as a key step in that process.
