WT's Matt Vanderburg tabbed SFA head baseball coach
The patriarch behind the success of the West Texas A&M baseball program for the past 16 years is on the move. Matt Vanderburg announced his resignation last week as the head baseball coach to follow outgoing WT athletic director Michael McBroom to Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. SFA is a Division I university that will be competing in the Southland Conference in 2024-2025. Vanderburg becomes the ninth head baseball coach to lead the SFA program and will begin his 20th baseball season this coming school year. Prior to joining the SFA athletic department, Vanderburg built WT into a regional and national baseball powerhouse under McBroom's leadership. He guided WT for 16 seasons with a 515-293 overall record during his time in Canyon. Also, Vanderburg has a 614-359 career record through his 19 seasons in collegiate baseball.
"Live as though your prayers are already answered"
It’s 6:30 a.m. … you’re laying in bed pondering your plan for the day. You find yourself worried that you’re not going to get everything done. What do you do? Do you keep worrying or do you give it to God in prayer? Most of us are worrywarts … and yes, I’m the biggest … we want to control our lives and are afraid to trust God’s plan.
'Playing for the C'
The countdown to kickoff in the Texas Panhandle is 11 weeks away. Everyone inside the Canyon Eagles football locker room is burning with desire and determination to build upon a 2023 season that ended in the second round of the Class 4A Division I playoffs. According to Canyon head football coach Todd Winfrey, "You know us, expectations are always high. We graduated several key players so have to develop some young kids, just like we did last year. We are excited about how many skill players that we have that got varsity experience last year." The Eagles went 9-3 in 2023 and reached the Class 4A Division I Area playoffs.
