Reno Huskies' Head Coach Secures Contract Extension Through 2028
Reno Huskies head coach, John Smith, has signed a contract extension through the 2028 season, solidifying his commitment to the program. The Huskies have experienced back-to-back playoff runs under Smith's leadership, with a 2024 record of 9-3 and a 2025 record of 10-2. As a 5A program, the Huskies face stiff competition in the Northern Division of the NIAA's Northern League. The contract extension is expected to boost recruiting efforts, with Smith and his staff now able to sell a stable coaching presence to prospective student-athletes. The move also sends a message to the team's current players, reinforcing the program's commitment to long-term success. Smith's extension will be a key factor in the Huskies' 2026 campaign, as they look to build on their recent success and contend for a league title.
