Frenship High names Tyler Lloyd as head baseball coach

WOLFFORTH, Texas (KCBD) - Frenship ISD has hired Tyler Lloyd, a Frenship High School graduate, as the school’s next head baseball coach.

“Playing here, coaching here, and now having the opportunity to lead this program going forward — I just feel extremely blessed,” Lloyd said. “It’s been my dream job since I got into coaching, and to see it come to fruition is a surreal moment for me and my family.”

Lloyd has been a Frenship student since kindergarten, district officials said, and went on to play baseball at Lubbock Christian University on scholarship. His college team made back-to-back NAIA World Series appearances.

Lloyd is entering his 12th year of coaching, including four years as a head coach. At Tulia, he led the program to a 20-win season and its first playoff appearance in seven years. He returned to Frenship in 2025 as an assistant baseball coach.

“I’m looking forward to continuing to do what I love at a school and in a community that has meant so much to me over the course of my life,” Lloyd said. “I’m excited about the opportunity to continue working with these kids and pushing them on and off the field.”

Lloyd said Frenship’s culture and tradition will help guide his approach.

“I want our parents and community to know that the high standard of excellence is still the same,” he said. “We’re going to love and care for your kids and continue to develop the skills needed to be good baseball players, but also good young men.”

Lloyd’s wife, Kenzi, is also a Frenship graduate and will serve Bennett Elementary as a reading interventionist, the district said. Their sons, Nathanael and Nolan, will attend Bennett next school year.
