Our Coaches
Our Leaders that Make us Better
Leading a team of high school players is no easy feat and requires dedication, patience and diligence.
Salt County Lacrosse is honored to have our coaching staff.
Coach Jordan Cook
Knights Head Coach
Coach Jordan Cook’s journey with lacrosse has come full circle right here in Saline County. A pioneer for the sport in our community, Jordan was a member of the first-ever high school lacrosse team in the county. After discovering his passion for the game as a junior, he went on to secure a roster spot at Centenary College, where he competed for five years and was named Team MVP during his senior season.
Now, Coach Jordan has returned to the place he calls home to lead the Knights as Head Coach. Since his arrival, we have already seen a powerful culture shift on the sidelines; under his guidance, new leaders are emerging, and the players have developed a profound respect and admiration for his leadership.
We have the utmost faith that Jordan is the future of this program. His deep-rooted passion for the game and its growth in Saline County is exactly what will carry us forward for years to come. While the roster will grow and the wins will certainly follow, we are most proud to watch him build a lasting legacy—teaching our athletes not only the game of lacrosse but how to become responsible, respectful men.
We couldn't be prouder to have him on our sidelines. Welcome home, Coach.
