In a surprise move on Monday, Saginaw Chisholm Trail head coach Ricklan Holmes announced his departure after just one season, as he takes an assistant athletic director position in Arlington ISD. In his lone year leading the Rangers, Holmes guided CTHS to a 7-4 record and the school’s first-ever playoff appearance.
Coach Holmes steps into an administrative role with a career record of 86-55 as a head coach, most of it from his 11-year tenure at his alma mater, Tyler High. He led the Lions to state semifinal appearances in 2012 and 2014, and to regional semifinal appearances in 2016 and 2018.
