THE SUCCESSION TEST · TO NOVEMBER 2026

One Granger program publishes a leadership line, and it can now be printed in order; the others publish none, and that negative is printed with its search: Michiana Echo's coaching leadership, from the club's own dated record, runs — Omar Gallo, director of coaching, in post by April 2015 (quoted as the club's DOC in Holy Cross College's TOPSoccer report of that month) and still the club's DOC in its current listings, read November 2026, a UEFA A license holder and Holy Cross College coach, Indiana Soccer's DOC of the Year for 2016; Duma (Bukhosibonke) Magagula, head technical director by the club's December 2018 accounting and its academy director in its current listings, Indiana's Girls Coach of the Year for 2018; Mary Schalliol, TOPSoccer director, Indiana's TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year for 2016; Bradleah "Brad" Mick, assistant director of coaching, whose tenure ends with his death on August 8, 2021 (the club's scholarship page); Kalen Saddler, named assistant director of coaching on December 11, 2018, after four years coaching at the club; and Raymundo Gonzalez, high-school director of coaching in the club's current listings. The club's board presidency is dated at two points: Ryan Milligan, president in December 2018, and Adam Kirkpatrick, board president at the February 2026 merger. That is the whole succession the open record carries — directors and presidents at announcement strength, no season-by-season manager list existing for a youth travel club in any source reached.

For Harris Baseball/Softball the succession test returns a single name and a silence: the only coach or officer the press of record names is Russell George Ohlson II, who coached "many of his sons' teams at the Harris Township Little League" and served on the league's executive board (his South Bend Tribune obituary, February 5, 2015). No president, director or coach succession for the league appears on the league's own site, in the tournament report, or in any directory reached, and none is reconstructed here: a succession invented from registration contacts would violate this build's rule that officers print only in a public-record role. For the school programs the test is the same: no Granger Christian, St. Pius X or Discovery coach is named at history strength in any record reached — MaxPreps' Granger Christian pages carry schedules without a coaching line, and the schools' own pages name programs, not successions. The settlers for all three are the institutions' own files: the league's minute books, the schools' athletic records, and the Tribune's sports record — the same settlers as the founding gaps below.
