West Linn Lions Hire New Offensive Line Coach
📍 West Linn Lions·Thursday, July 23, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The West Linn Lions have hired former Jesuit High School assistant coach, Ryan Thompson, as their new offensive line coach. The Lions, a 6A program in the Oregon School Activities Association, are looking to bounce back from a 5-5 record in 2025. Thompson's expertise in developing linemen is expected to boost the team's run game and protect quarterback. The Lions are considered a dark horse in the 6A classification, with several key players returning from last year's roster. Thompson's hiring is seen as a coup for the program, as he brings a wealth of experience and recruiting connections to the table. With the start of August camp just around the corner, Lions fans are eagerly anticipating the team's potential this season.
