State Championship-Winning Coach headed to Pearland

Another state championship winning head coach is on the move as Pearland ISD named Katy Paetow head coach B.J. Gotte the next head coach at Pearland High School. 

Gotte, who opened Paetow High School in January 2017, quickly established Katy’s newest high school as a power player in Class 5A, culminating with a Class 5A-Division I state championship and a 15-1 overall record in 2021. After a 3-7 varsity debut in 2018, Gotte’s Panthers ripped off three straight winning seasons, including a trip to the area playoffs in 2020, a season that was cut short due to a Covid outbreak during the playoffs.
