A former Division I basketball player, Army veteran, and longtime Maryland coach, Demetrius Ballard took the helm of Severn’s football program determined to reignite its winning tradition. After eight successful years at Archbishop Spalding, Ballard brought his leadership, energy, and community-minded approach to Severn—transforming the Admirals into back-to-back conference champions and MIAA playoff contenders. Known for his emphasis on character, connection, and player development, Ballard has reestablished Severn as a proud and competitive program while strengthening ties with local youth football.
