Highland Springs Tabs Assistant Coach as Coordinator
Highland Springs High School has promoted assistant coach Michael Johnson to defensive coordinator, the program announced Thursday. Johnson, who joined the Springers' staff in 2023, has spent three seasons developing talent and implementing defensive strategies. The Springers, a 5A powerhouse with a 25-5 record over the past two seasons, are looking to maintain their competitive edge in the Richmond area. Johnson's elevation to coordinator is seen as a key move in addressing the loss of several key defenders to graduation. The Springers are expected to face stiff competition in the upcoming season, with several top-ranked teams in their classification. Johnson's experience and knowledge of the program's system will be crucial in preparing the Springers for the challenges ahead.
