Who is leading our Wolves football team this season? 🏈💙 Get to know Coach Madonna! We’re proud to highlight Coach Jason Madonna and his impact at Shawnee High School! A former three-time state champion from Carl Albert High under legendary Coach Gary Rose, Madonna brings a wealth of knowledge, discipline, and drive to our Wolves. With a four-year college career at Bethel College of Kansas, where he captained his team and contributed to a KCAC championship, Coach Madonna then transitioned into coaching with roles at Midwest City, Bethel High, and Del City. Now leading Shawnee as Head Coach, he’s channeling years of experience and his love for the game into every practice, play, and player. Reflecting on Shawnee, he shares, “My family came here because of the community support and tradition. As a player, I competed here several times, and my coaching career led me to cross paths with the Wolves. We were always impressed, which made us excited for the opportunity to make a positive impact.” Let’s continue to rally behind Coach Madonna and the Wolves this Friday night under the lights! 💙 #GoWolves #ShawneeStrong
