Grimsley Whirlies Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Grimsley Whirlies, a 4A program from Greensboro, have elevated assistant coach Ryan Thompson to the coordinator position. Thompson spent three seasons developing talent on the Whirlies' staff, contributing to a 22-8 record over that span. His promotion is expected to bolster the team's offense, which averaged 24.5 points per game last season. The Whirlies' recruiting efforts will also benefit from Thompson's increased role, as he will be involved in evaluating and recruiting top prospects in the Piedmont Triad. With the NCHSAA 4A Western Regional Championship within reach, Thompson's promotion is a significant move for the Whirlies, who will look to build on last season's success. The team's summer camp is underway, with coaches and players working to fine-tune their skills and prepare for the upcoming season.
