Westlake Chaparrals Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role

The Westlake Chaparrals, a 6A powerhouse from Austin, have elevated assistant coach John Smith to defensive coordinator. Smith spent three seasons developing talent on the Chaparrals' staff, helping the team compile a 24-6 record. The move is seen as a key factor in the program's continued competitiveness in the highly competitive 6A District 14. With the departure of several key seniors, the Chaparrals will rely on Smith's expertise to rebuild their defense. Recruiting implications are significant, as Smith's promotion is expected to attract top defensive prospects to the program. The Chaparrals' 2026 season is shaping up to be a critical one, and Smith's new role will be crucial in determining their success.
