Hooper Named Head Coach at Lordsburg
The Lordsburg Mavericks have named their new head coach replacing legendary head coach Louie Baisa, who spent 27-years at the helm. Enter Dale Hooper a successful head coach at each and every one of his stops.
Hooper leaves 5A football's Alamogordo High School after four years, posting a 19-23 record with the Tigers. Under Hooper the Tigers improved each season going from 1-9 in 2013, 5-5 in 2014, 6-4 in 2015 and 7-5 this past season making the quarterfinals of the State Playoffs.
For me this was the best decision for my family, Hooper explained. "For me this going home, I get to live on my ranch and do the thing I love coaching football. Life is good man"
Hooper will be down the road from Western New Mexico University commit and 2017 Alamogordo graduate Kyle Hooper. Also, his older son attends New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Coach Hooper's wife will also be working for the school district in Lordsburg.
I am honored to be given the opportunity to coach Lordsburg football. "It was hard to leave Alamogordo. They treated us great, the people were amazing to me and my family. It's an honor to follow Coach Baisa who was there 27-years, winning the recent state title".
