Lakeville North Panthers Defensive Coordinator Linked to Rival School
Lakeville North Panthers defensive coordinator, Mike Johnson, has been linked to a potential coaching opportunity at rival school, Apple Valley Eagles. Johnson has been with the Panthers since 2018, helping the team achieve a 45-15 record during his tenure, including a 2022 section championship. His departure would be a significant loss for the Panthers, particularly in recruiting efforts, as Johnson has been instrumental in securing top defensive talent in the state. If he were to leave, Lakeville North would likely face a challenging time filling the void, potentially impacting their chances of competing for a state title in the highly competitive 6A division. The Panthers are entering a crucial offseason, with summer camp set to begin in August, and the fate of Johnson's coaching future remains uncertain.
