West Fargo Packers Coach Signs Contract Extension
West Fargo Packers head coach, John Thompson, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season, the program announced Thursday. Thompson led the Packers to back-to-back playoff appearances, including a 2024 semifinal run, in the North Dakota Class AAA football playoffs. The extension comes as the program continues to build on its recent success, boasting a 32-12 record over the past four seasons. Recruiting efforts are expected to intensify, with Thompson and his staff targeting top talent in the region. The move is seen as a vote of confidence in Thompson's ability to lead the Packers to continued success and potentially a state championship. The Packers' competitive landscape is expected to remain strong, with perennial powerhouses like Fargo South and Bismarck Century looming in the Class AAA ranks.
