📍 Fargo Shanley Deacons·Sunday, July 19, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Fargo Shanley Deacons have hired veteran coach, Tom Johnson, to lead their wide receivers unit ahead of the 2026 season. Johnson brings 15 years of coaching experience, including stints at top programs in the state. The Deacons, a perennial power in AAA, aim to build on last year's 8-3 record and state semifinal appearance. With a strong recruiting class and returning starters, Johnson's expertise is expected to elevate the Deacons' passing game. His experience in developing receivers will be crucial in helping quarterback, Jack Thompson, reach his full potential. As the Deacons prepare for August camp, Johnson's arrival is seen as a key addition to the coaching staff, setting the stage for a competitive season in the East Region.
