In 2022, Coach Porter returned to Bullitt East High School to teach science, and in his coaching role, he became the only coach to be trusted with taking on two varsity positions. Offensively, Coach Porter took command of a very successful QB group as he would go on to help in the final year of development for the would be- Mr. Football and Gatorade Player of the year in Travis Egan. Defensively, Coach Porter would lead the Defensive Back group to understand and execute a new brand of defense under Coach Thornsberry's direction. In doing so, Coach Porter's DB group grew immensely compared to prior years and really became a large factor of the defensive success that the Chargers had in 2022. With their speed and confidence of play, they would go on to help the Chargers capture their first Class 6A State Title in the State of Kentucky.
