Coaches have big ties to Nebraska and Texas A&M. A friend's son's JUCO team played them recently and said they were pretty good.
Heard they also had ties to Missouri and Arkansas.
Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn formerly was the coach at Texarkana. On his staff at the time was current Texas A&M head coach Rob Childress. Childress came to A&M after 8 years at Nebraska. Aggie assistant Matt Deggs also is a former Texarkana HC.
Can you tell me a little about the school. What is the size? What is the city like? Facilities. Trying to get as much info as possible. They have offered my son.
I don't know about the size of the school. I live about 2 1/2 hours from Texarkana and can tell you from my limited time there that it is a smaller town. Population is probably about 30-40 thousand combined between the Arkansas and Texas sides (the boarder divides Texarkana, TX from Texarkana, AR). Again, with limited knowledge, I don't know if there is much that would interest a 18-19 year old other than top notch baseball. The baseball program fantastic. Drafted players and major DI signees are prevelent each year.
Head coach Bolt is considered a good propect as a D1 coach some day. From what I am told his asst. coaches are also very good. Ties to Neb.,Mizzou, Arkansas,and some other Texas schools. In my mind this would be a great opportunity for a kid with aspirations to go to the next level.A good teaching program for kids who also want to play Pro ball.
Texarkana has a great sense of community and is behind their teams. The city is growing and has plenty of restaurants to choose from.
