His many accomplishments include leading the Mustangs to finish in the top 10 every year for the UIL Lone Star Cup Championship, being awarded the Houston Chronicle 5A “Chron Cup” Championship for most outstanding athletic department in the Houston area in 2013-2014, repeat winner of the Houston Touchdown Club football
