St. John's Prep Coach Signs Contract Extension Through 2029
St. John's Prep head coach, John Blais, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season, the school announced Thursday. Blais has led the Eagles to back-to-back playoff appearances, including a 2024 semifinal run. The Eagles, a Division I program based in Danvers, have compiled a 22-6 record over the past two seasons. The contract extension is expected to boost recruiting efforts, as Blais will remain at the helm through a critical rebuilding phase. The Eagles will face stiff competition from perennial powerhouses in the Catholic Conference, but Blais' stability and experience should provide a competitive advantage. The team's summer training camp is set to begin in late July, with a focus on building chemistry and depth before the 2026 season opener.
