LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – After a 21-year tenure, Johnny Watson, Little Rock Christian Academy's athletic director, announced his retirement Thursday. The school announced former Warriors head football coach Dr. Eric Cohu will take over as the next athletic director in summer 2026.

An Arkansas High School Hall of Fame inductee, Watson has been present for many milestones for LRCA's athletic program since his arrival in 2005. He oversaw several facility projects, including the Warrior Arena and multiple turf fields, and led the school to over 110 conference titles, 36 state championships, and 79 academic state championships.

"His greatest legacy remains the eternal impact he has had on young men and women who were shaped by his faith and leadership," school officials said in a press release.
