1. Jerry Burkhart, Richland Springs. It is hard to argue against 8 state rings along with a total domination of the sport.
2. Vance Jones, Balmorhea. I call him "the Father of west Texas sixmanfootball" because EVERY team west of the Pecos runs his offense. He also bolsters an impressive resume with at least 2 state rings.
3. Nathan Hayes, Crowell. I believe I am right about this stat: Besides this year, Hayes has made it to the state game every year when he is not employed by Lohn or Blackwell. Truly one of the underrated coaches in Sixman.
4. Terry Crawford, Abbott. The King of eastern sixmanfootball in my opinion, Crawford has at least 2 rings, several appearances in the state game, and a long track record of excellence at Abbott.
5. Dewayne Lee, Strawn. It seems like Strawn has been down a bit recently, but Lee had a run of 3 or 4 years ending about 2012 where his team could beat anyone in the state on a given night.
Coaches to watch in the future:
* John Benavidas, Buena Vista
* Isaiah Archer, Southland
