2022 Coaches and Trainers

It's fall in West Texas. There is no better place to play football in the world.

The Thunderbird on the mountain looming at your left. The new field house stands bright and tall in the end zone. The lights of Mesa Street are sparkling on your right. Mount Cristo Rey in the distance.

The Thunderbird band drum cadence grows louder by the step. Our cheerleaders alongside.

The players and coaches have worked hard and are ready. We know you are ready as well.

This is Quarles-Brooks Stadium.

A place where tradition is a way of life.

Get loud and proud T-Bird fans.

Parents, Former Players, and Fans, Thunderbird football is back!

Welcome to Coronado High School.
