2018 Season BUILT By Nature Assistant Coaches of the Week Winners:

Congratulations to San Antonio Wagner offensive coordinator Jason Starin for being selected by the fans as the Built By Nature Assistant Coach of the Year! The Thunderbirds were one of the state's most improved and most potent offensive attacks, scoring a staggering 56.7 points per game in 2018, up from 23 points per game in 2017. The remarkable turnaround helped propel Wagner all the way to the 5A DI state semifinals after being crowned Region IV champions. The honor was well deserved, especially against the likes of Mason defensive coordinator Michael McLeod, Duncanville defensive coordinator John Towels and Pleasant Grove offensive coordinator Justin Gibson.

2017 Season

Coach Legg (left) accepts his honor as
the top assistant in the state for 2017.

Congratulations to Cy-Fair defensive coordinator Robbie Legg, the 2017 Built By Nature Assisitant Coach of the Year. Coach Legg's Bobcats suffocated opponents en route to the 6A DII state championship, surrendering a paltry 12 points per game. It culminated in a 51-35 thumping of Waco Midway at AT&T Stadium. The Bobcats, which entered the night with the No. 6 ranked defense in 6A, put on a defensive clinic one final time against one of the better offensive units in the state. Legg's unit held Midway to just seven points through three quarters before the Panthers narrowed the margin with the game already well in hand. Midway finished with just six yards rushing in the loss, and the Bobcat defense forced 4 turnovers that led to 24 points. It was a fitting end to an outstanding season, and just another reason Legg was an obvious choice for the annual award. Legg follows 2016 winner Michael Wall who – as offensive coordinator – guided the Lake Travis Cavaliers' explosive offense to the 6A DI state championship.
