COLLEGE

Texas A&M University-Commerce is now searching for its head softball coach following the departure of Gay McNutt, who accepted the position of head coach at Texas Woman’s University. The Lions are coming off a season in which they won their first games in school history and their first conference tournament championship while serving as hosts for the NCAA South Central Regional for the third consecutive season. A&M-Commerce will compete in Division I as members of the Southland Conference in 2023 as they return all but two starters from last season.

LeTourneau University Vice President/Athletics Director Dr. Tim Sceggel named Brady Van Holland the next head coach of the men’s soccer team Thursday. Van Holland is the 11th head coach in the history of the program.

HIGH SCHOOL

At their next meeting, the Athens City Council will officially proclaim the month of June as “Bruce Field Heritage Month.” Bruce Field in Athens has seen a lot of history throughout the years. From champion football teams to even a Willie Nelson concert. This June, it officially celebrates its 100th birthday.

This past January, Jake Griedl resigned from his position as Marshall’s athletic director and head football coach to take the head coaching job in Bastrop. Last February, Jack Alvarez came from Cuero to replace him.
