Wall Hires New Head Baseball Coach

WALL, TX — Wall High School has a new baseball coach. Athletic director Bryan Morrison announced that Jason McCoy will lead the Hawks next season.

McCoy, a Windthorst native, joins Wall after three seasons at Bowie and one season as head coach at Seymour. He previously coached at Paradise, Granbury and Notre Dame Catholic School while in college.

At Bowie, McCoy finished with a 45-40-2 overall record and was 16-14 last season. The Jackrabbits missed the playoffs by one game in a wildly competitive district that includes teams like Jacksboro, Holiday, Iowa Park, Henrietta, and Wichita Falls City View. 

McCoy said he's ready to get to work and is excited to work at a place like Wall.

"Wall is the kind of place where turnover does not happen a whole lot," Coach McCoy said on Monday. "So, seeing it come open and knowing Wall's history in athletics and just knowing the kind of people that are there and the type of values they have, I could not really pass up on the opportunity."

McCoy has some big shoes to fill after the Hawks claimed a state championship in 2025 and made it back to the state semifinals this year, but he says it's exactly what he has been looking for.

"One of my mentors once said to take your kids somewhere similar to where you were raised," he said. "I was raised in Windthorst, Texas, where there is success as well. So, getting the chance to go to Wall, it's similar. It's an exciting opportunity for me to be a part of a community like that. It's closer back to my roots even though it's further away, locationally. It's closer to something that I was raised up in."

In addition to his duties as head baseball coach, McCoy will also coach football for Wall in the fall. He previously was co-defensive coordinator at Bowie.

He is married to his wife, Emily, and has two small children.

Wall saw its 2026 campaign come to an end over the weekend in the state semifinals against Paradise. The Hawks split the series before ultimately falling in a decisive Game 3, 11-8, in Abilene last Friday.

Wall's previous coach, Jeremy Gordon, accepted a coaching job for Austin Westlake's team earlier in May but wanted to finish out the Hawks' playoff run in 2026 before his departure.
