Southlake Carroll Tabs New Defensive Coordinator

Southlake Carroll has elevated assistant coach, Ryan Thompson, to defensive coordinator, effective immediately. Thompson joins the staff after four seasons with the Dragons, where he developed and mentored several key defensive players. The move comes as Southlake Carroll looks to build on its 2025 6-5 record and a 4th-place finish in District 5-6A. With Thompson at the helm, the Dragons are expected to rely heavily on their experienced defense, which returns several key starters. Recruiting implications are significant, as top prospects will now have a chance to work with a seasoned coordinator. The move also sets the stage for a competitive District 5-6A, where several teams are expected to challenge for the top spot.
