Palestine Westwood on Monday night officially named Brazoswood defensive coordinator Randy Pippin as its next head football coach, stepping into a program that has finished the past two seasons with an interim head coach.
“I’ve got a lot of mutual friends with Coach Bryant (Westwood ISD Athletic Director)," he said. "I think a lot of Coach Bryant and I’m excited to work with him and the staff in place. There’s so many great people in East Texas. Football is important in the community and there’s a lot of excitement. I think my defensive background makes it a good fit for me and Westwood and I’m ready to move back to East Texas."
