Spartans Name New Defensive Coordinator

The Skyline Spartans of Sammamish, Washington, have promoted assistant coach Alex Johnson to defensive coordinator, the program announced Thursday. Johnson, who joined the Spartans' staff four seasons ago, has been instrumental in developing the team's defensive line and linebacking corps. Under his guidance, the Spartans' defense has shown significant improvement, helping the team reach the state playoffs in each of the past two seasons. Johnson's elevation to coordinator is seen as a key move in the Spartans' bid to compete for a 4A state title. With the loss of several key defenders to graduation, Johnson's expertise will be crucial in recruiting and developing new talent to fill the void.
