JUCO National Champ Head Coach Takes over at Palestine Westwood
Palestine Westwood hires veteran coach Randy Pippin as its next head coach. The former TVCC national champion head coach brings decades of college experience back to East Texas.
Pippin had stints as an assistant coach at the college level at Tennessee Tech, Alabama-Birmingham, East Texas Baptist and East Central University in Oklahoma.
Coach Pippin saod he will finish out the year at Brazoswood where he’s also a track coach and has athletes competing at the state track meet this weekend. Once the school year ends, Pippin said he’ll be on the ground at Westwood ready for a June 1 start to summer camp.
With the late arrival on campus, the timing is condensed, but Pippin is confident that the transition will be a smooth one.
“The staff has done a fabulous job holding things together," he said. "The kids have had a great offseason and the coaches have been working them hard. We’ll hit the ground running June 1 with the summer program and play catchup and get ready for August.”
