Waunakee Warriors Name Assistant Coach Coordinator

Waunakee High School has promoted assistant coach Ryan Thompson to defensive coordinator ahead of the 2026 season. Thompson has spent the past three seasons with the Warriors, developing a strong defensive unit that helped the team post a 7-4 record in 2025. As a coordinator, Thompson will oversee the defense and work closely with head coach Joe Schmitz to implement a new strategy. The move is expected to boost the Warriors' chances in the competitive Badger South Conference, where they will face off against powerhouses like Middleton and Verona. Thompson's promotion also signals a renewed focus on recruiting, as the program looks to attract top talent in the Madison area.
