DeMatha Catholic Stags Pursue Veteran Coordinator to Bolster Staff
The DeMatha Catholic Stags, a perennial power in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, are reportedly targeting an experienced defensive coordinator to join head coach Elijah Brooks' staff. Sources indicate the program is eyeing former Archbishop Spalding coach, Mike Petrella, who boasts a 12-year tenure and a 120-44 record. Petrella's departure would be a significant loss for Archbishop Spalding, which has struggled to maintain its winning tradition. If Petrella departs, DeMatha Catholic would likely face increased competition for top recruits in the region, particularly in the highly touted 2027 class. The Stags' pursuit of Petrella is seen as a strategic move to bolster their defense and maintain their dominance in the WCAC.
