Eagle Pass C. C. Winn High School Mavericks Head Football Coach Eric Villasenor was named the 2016 Rio Grande Valley/Laredo Region Football Coach of the Year by the prestigious Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine for leading the thundering Mavericks “to their first-ever playoff berth and…surging into the regional semifinals with the program’s first two postseason victories,” said Greg Tepper, Managing Editor of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.

Maverick Nation Head Football Coach Eric Villasenor guided the Mavericks Football Program in 2016 to its first-ever Co-District Championship, Bi-District Championship, Area Championship, and Regional Semi-Finalist.

Coach Eric Villasenor was stunned by this distinguished recognition by Texas’ leading football magazine, Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.  Villasenor thanked his players for “trusting the process,” his outstanding Assistant Coaches, parents, school administration, faculty, family, and loyal Maverick Nation fans for their dedicated and unselfish support of the Mavericks Football Program.

In a written statement, Coach Eric Villasenor eloquently stated “To our players, Coaches, parents, and MavNation, I want to thank you for this incredible journey.  We had a vision dating back to February 2013 and saw it progressing each year. Through loyalty, trust, and commitment our goal of becoming Champions came to fruition.  We have not only built winners on the field, but we have built great husbands and fathers.  The community that they choose to serve will be very lucky to have them.  I consider myself blessed to be around such a fine group each day.  We have set the bar high and will work to keep that way heading into 2017.  The memories will last forever and so will our titles.”
