Rumors Swirl Around Eastside Catholic Defensive Coordinator
A potential coaching shake-up is brewing at Eastside Catholic, with defensive coordinator Mark Thompson reportedly being courted by rival Bellevue High School. Thompson, who has been with the Crusaders since 2018, has led the team's defense to a 2-year 3A state championship appearance and a 24-6 overall record over the past two seasons. If Thompson were to leave, it could have a significant impact on the recruiting trail, as he has been instrumental in bringing in top defensive talent to the program. The Bellevue Wolverines, who have been struggling on defense in recent years, may see Thompson as the missing piece to their puzzle. Eastside Catholic officials have yet to comment on the rumors, but sources close to the situation indicate that Thompson is seriously considering the opportunity.
