My goal for the Pantego Baseball Team is to not only prepare these young men to compete well on the field but to also build a family of young men that are chasing after Christ and looking after one another as brothers.
Billie Hicks >> VARSITY HEAD COACH My name is Billie Hicks. My wife, Allie, and I have two kids that currently attend the PCA Mansfield Campus. Brigham (10) is in 5th grade and is an avid dancer outside of school. Tripp (8) is in the 2nd grade, he loves all things sports and follows closely behind in all that I do. This will be my fourth year coaching baseball here at Pantego, third as Head Coach. Along with coaching, I am a business broker in a family business. Prior to stepping into a business role, I played baseball at Coastal Carolina University, and I ended my college career at Texas Wesleyan University, earning a BS in Marketing. I had a love for coaching and helping young players from an early age—from owning Diamond Star Baseball to other coaching paths. I am grateful to have been led to PCA, where I can once again fulfill what I feel the Lord has called me to do—coaching baseball and investing in the lives of these young men.

T R A C K & F I EL D 2020 SEASON PREVIEW
Hello! It is an exciting time to be in Track and Field at PCA. We had great success bringing one of our largest teams to regional and state competition last year, and we will bring back a number of those athletes to the squad this year. I believe we have one of the most committed groups of runners, jumpers, and throwers since I have been on campus. This group returns a number of athletes who competed at the state meet in their individual events, and we have a number of athletes who are new to our track program who bring a whole new set of skills and talents to this program. I believe our team this year is committed to being one of the largest teams we have taken to the state meet in a number of years. They have set for themselves very high expectations, and I cannot wait for our staff to push them towards their goals of being one of the top teams in the district and qualifying for the state meet in Waco this May. This senior group is a very talented group that have been together for a long time and are committed to seeing great success for their class and this program and I’m very proud of what they have done for PCA track and field. We have an incredible coaching staff. Coach Robertson and Coach Green have coached a number of athletes who have competed and been top finishers in state meets in both UIL and TAPPS State Meets. The enthusiasm, knowledge, and skills they bring to our program make us one of the most competitive teams in our district. PCA is blessed to have an incredible staff. This year, our program focus is community. Our hope is that our Track and Field program can be one of discipline, encouragement, and a source of joy for each other and our PCA community. I know that this Track and Field community will be one of which our PCA community will be proud. Go Panthers!
