West Linn Lions Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role

The West Linn Lions have elevated assistant coach Ryan Thompson to defensive coordinator, a move that comes after four seasons developing talent in the program. The Lions, a 6A powerhouse in the Oregon School Activities Association, have experienced recent success with a 22-4 record over the past two seasons. Thompson's promotion is expected to boost recruiting efforts, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, as the Lions look to maintain their competitive edge in the highly competitive Metro League. With the 2026 season just around the corner, Thompson's role will be crucial in shaping the Lions' defensive strategy and preparing them for the challenges ahead.
