After 9 unforgettable years, Coach Gibson is stepping away as head coach.

In his time leading our program, he built a legacy that includes 6 district championships, 16 playoff wins, a state championship, thriving junior high programs, and over 100 athletes earning accolades. But more important than the trophies and awards is the culture he created, one built on family, winning, accountability, and lifelong success.

Coach Gibson changed this program forever, and we are incredibly thankful for everything he poured into our athletes and community. While we are sad to see him step away, we are beyond blessed to have been led by him.

Thank you, Coach. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate.

Congratulations to all of our seniors who graduated! We are beyond proud of you and thankful for everything you have done for our program and school.

Additionally, we had 4 seniors who also earned their degree from McLennan Community College, truly showing what it means to be a student athlete.

While we are sad to see this senior class go, we are excited to see all that the future holds for each of you. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!

This past Saturday, we had the honor of watching two of our boys, Jordan Medina and Gael Hernandez, represent our program in the TASCO Senior All Star Game. It made the night even more special as Coach Manuel Gibson had the opportunity to close out his soccer coaching chapter alongside them.

The impact these three have made on our program will not be forgotten. We are beyond proud of all of you and thankful for everything you have poured into our team and community!
