Christian Brothers College Cadets Name Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
Christian Brothers College Cadets head coach, Mike Harrison, announced Thursday that assistant coach, Ryan Smith, has been promoted to defensive coordinator. Smith, a three-year assistant, has developed several key players, including defensive backs, Tyler Johnson and Brandon Williams. The Cadets, a Class 5 program, finished 8-3 last season, falling to eventual state champion, Parkway Central, in the semifinals. Smith's elevation is seen as a key move in the team's pursuit of a state title. The Cadets will look to improve their defensive depth and experience, a crucial factor in their quest for a championship. The move also signals a shift in recruiting strategy, with Smith expected to play a larger role in identifying and developing top talent in the region.
