Mallard Creek Elevates Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role

Mallard Creek Mavericks head coach Mike Morgan has promoted assistant coach Ryan Thompson to defensive coordinator, the program announced Thursday. Thompson, a three-year assistant, has developed a strong defensive unit that has helped the Mavericks post a 22-8 record over the past two seasons. The 4A program has been a consistent playoff contender, with a 2023 semifinal appearance. Thompson's promotion is seen as a key move in the Mavericks' quest to return to the championship game. The move also signals a renewed focus on recruiting top defensive talent in the Charlotte area. The Mavericks' defense will look to build on last season's strong performance, which included a shutout victory over rival Butler.
