Shanley Coach Signs Extension Through 2028
Fargo Shanley Deacons head coach, Ryan Johnson, has signed a contract extension through the 2028 season. The move comes after back-to-back playoff appearances, including a 2024 semifinal finish. The Deacons, a Class AAA program, have seen significant improvement under Johnson's leadership, boasting a 22-8 record over the past two seasons. The extension is seen as a vote of confidence in Johnson's ability to continue leading the program to success. Recruiting efforts are expected to intensify, with Johnson and his staff looking to build on the momentum from the past two years. The move also sets the stage for a competitive battle for the Eastern Dakota Conference title, with the Deacons looking to dethrone perennial powerhouses like West Fargo Sheyenne and Fargo Davies.
