📍 Canandaigua Braves·Sunday, July 26, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Canandaigua Braves football program has elevated assistant coach Mike Johnson to coordinator, effective immediately. Johnson, a five-season veteran of the Braves' staff, has developed several key players during his tenure. The Braves, a Class A program, finished 7-3 in 2025 and are expected to contend for a Finger Lakes West division title. Johnson's promotion is seen as a key move in the program's recruiting efforts, as the Braves look to build on their recent success. With Johnson's expertise, the Braves are expected to be more competitive in the downfield passing game and on special teams. The team is set to open its 2026 season on September 3 against Geneva.
