Johnny Ringo

By David McNabb
 
After 27 years of coming to the Texas High School Coaches Association annual convention, Plano East head football coach Johnny Ringo left Wednesday afternoon as the president elect of the organization. The son of a high school coach, Ringo was one of the three finalists in a vote of coaches in Fort Worth who won in a run-off with Katy Cinco Ranch coach Don Clayton and Stratford coach Eddie Metcalf.

Ringo has coached Plano East and Coppell with a stint as an SMU assistant in between during the last two decades and is on the THSCA Board of Directors. His coaching pedigree goes back to starting in the middle school program in Austin Westlake. Ringo was a receiver on Texas’ 1983 Southwest Conference champion and is considered one of the pioneers in the philosophical change of high school programs to pass-oriented Spread formations after decades of the state having run-oriented offenses. His summer passing and receiving camps have become one of the regular stops for rising North Texas high school players.

At Coppell, Ringo was named Dallas Morning News Coach of the Year in 1999 and has been honored as the Dallas Cowboys NFL High School Coach of the Week in 2009, 2006, 1998 and 1996. He’s been selected District Coach of the Year three times and he has coached teams that have been in the playoffs 14 of his 20 high school seasons. As a head coach, his teams have an 87-63-2 record.

nice stadium 

[BAMAWV]

Our team is ranked 9442 nationally, but they have a lot of heart. Most of them have to "put up hay" or some other work with their Dads before or after practice. I can't find a picture of the stadium (I will) but it doesn't really have a parking lot. Everyone justs parks along the road.

found my old hometown Lobo's Stadium

We decided to go ALL out with the luxury skyboxes and press facilities.

[hscoach]

Yes, that is where they played.  Also, the picture does not show it after the seating has been enlarged.

Maybe back when TS was still free, someone posted Texas HS baseball stadiums. Scaled down replicas of Yankee Stadium or Fenway. I guess like a lesser version of Bama or UTx, they get TV revenue that pays for itself-- at least some! Alumni money?

Southlake is a very affluent community.  Years ago the average income was over $100,000.  Many professional athletes, Dr's., etc live there.  The funny thing is you can see our stadium from theirs, they are that close.

I'll bet that number has doubled now. It is so flat around there-- I can sometimes put the map away and find the rig by just looking around for the derricks. Problem is--lol-- you can't throw a rock without hitting one-- that is the Barnett Shale-- it runs all the way up into Oklahoma.

[hscoach]

You are right.  The main problem, I have is a lot of them think they deserve special treatment.

[BAMAWV]

LOL- I'm surprised you're not saying ALL of them think they deserve special teatment. I'll bet a lot of them go to the games JUST to be seen there.
