Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Coronado Mustangs
2025: 1-9, missed playoffs
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) -The Coronado Mustangs will try to look past last year’s 1-9 season. In spite of the frustrations, the Mustangs were still one TD away from a playoff appearance before they fell to Lubbock High 42-35 in the season finale.
Coronado enters the 2026 season excited to now be competing in 5AD2. Head coach Andrew Roy expects his team to have a much-better outcome, especially talent coming back.
“Man, our offseason was great! We built some strong relationships and built some leaders and then we got back and ready to get that bad taste out of our mouth and so they’re excited and we’ve been working hard,” he said. “We have some returners, that got a lot of playing time as sophomores. David Bawcum, the quarterback, Rebel Beckham, he was a sophomore last year and we expect those guys to be leaders.”
Other key returners include: Parker Bottema, Torrance Cox, Isaiah Doss, and Ethan Tobias.
The Mustangs are also welcoming former Crosbyton head coach Cesar Costilla as the new offensive line coach.
