📍 Millard South Patriots·Sunday, July 12, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Millard South Patriots, a Class A school from Omaha, have promoted assistant coach Ryan Thompson to defensive coordinator. In his three seasons with the program, Thompson developed several key players, including defensive backs who earned all-state recognition. The move is seen as a key step in the Patriots' efforts to rebuild their defense after a 2025 season that saw them finish with a 4-6 record. Thompson's elevation is also expected to help the program in recruiting, as he brings a strong reputation and a deep understanding of the team's needs. With the addition of Thompson, the Patriots are looking to improve their chances in the rugged Metro Conference and make a deeper playoff run in 2026.
