DeMatha Catholic Tabs Assistant as Coordinator in Bid to Boost WCAC Title Hopes
📍 DeMatha Catholic Stags·Monday, July 6, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Hyattsville, MD - DeMatha Catholic High School has promoted longtime assistant coach Michael Johnson to defensive coordinator, a move that aims to bolster the Stags' chances in the competitive Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. The Stags finished 9-3 in 2025, narrowly missing a WCAC title. Johnson spent five seasons developing talent at DeMatha, including several players who went on to earn Division I scholarships. With the new role, Johnson will oversee the team's defensive scheme, which will be crucial in the Stags' quest to dethrone reigning WCAC champion Gonzaga. The promotion is seen as a key move in DeMatha's push for a championship, as the Stags look to build on last season's momentum.
