Eastside Catholic Crusaders Eyeing Experienced Coordinator Hire
Sources close to the program indicate that Eastside Catholic Crusaders head coach, Ryan Rada, is actively seeking an experienced defensive coordinator to bolster his staff ahead of the 2026 season. The move comes as the Crusaders look to build on their 2025 3A state playoff appearance, where they fell to eventual champion, Lakeside Nine Lakes. With a 12-8 record over the past two seasons, Rada aims to strengthen the team's defensive unit, which allowed 23.5 points per game in 2025. If Rada's top target, former 4A state champion coach, Mike Breske, were to join the staff, it could have significant recruiting implications, potentially drawing top talent from the region to the Sammamish campus.
