He's done a really good job there and seemed like he was invested in the school and community. I'd assume 6 man coaches in SETX are hard to come by.....especially good ones.

The Icon Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Back when they were 11 Man, I knew some area coaches that eyeballed this job as a Retire-Rehire spot. Coach at High Island, live on Crystal Beach. Not a bad way to retire and keep some skin in the game in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wedge Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Look for a certain athletic director from another of the smaller schools in our area to be in play for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has been finalized in regards to my situation but hopefully everything will happen by next week. Yes, I did resign from High Island before having another job lined up. I did this so the school would have more time to find a quality coach to come in; that's important for me in regards to the kids. I am excited about the work that we did at High Island where the football program is moving forward. 2wedge and Tiger33 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did a heck of a job at HI and they’ll have issues finding someone to fill your shoes. Glad you can take a joke! coachbronk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachbronk Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I wanted to let everyone know that High Island has hired former FW Pascal head football coach Matt Miracle as its new head football coach. I have been offered and accepted the Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach position at Bastrop High School. I'm excited about this opportunity but I will definitely miss Southeast Texas and all the great coaches, media folks and people I have met down here the last 3 years.

Coach Bronkhorst You are a class act sir! It's refreshing to see you move on but still prove you care about High Island by keeping up with their search. Best of luck at Bastrop!
