Alice ISD on Monday night is expected to name Taft head coach Joe Richard Castellano as the next athletic director/head football coach at Alice High School, replacing Kyle Atwood who resigned in February to take the same position at Holliday.

Castellano, a Refugio native began his coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater from 1999-2007 before heading to the Houston area for one season as an assistant coach at LaMarque. He returned to the Coastal Bend in 2010 when he joined Phil Danaher’s staff at Corpus Christi Calallen as an assistant coach.
