Mansfield Head Coach Daniel Maberry Passes Away
Mansfield High School and Texas high school football suffered a tragic loss on Tuesday as Mansfield HFC Daniel Maberry lost his courageous battle with cancer. Maberry, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, fought bravely against the disease, fighting back both in 2018 and 2019 to spend time on the sidelines coaching his team. He was an inspiration to all. "It's a sad day, I just sent a text this morning letting him know I was praying for him,” Arlington Sam Houston HC Anthony Criss said. Cedar Hill HC Carlos Lynn sent a text that simply said, "I’m crushed." Maberry, who spent over 20 years in Mansfield ISD, worked his way up from Worley Middle School to head coach at Mansfield High in 2016, where his teams went 10-3 and 11-2 in his first two seasons. Coach Maberry leaves behind a wife and two young daughters.
