High School

Coach Deshawn has been apart of the Soldiers coaching staff since the summer of 2021. From the moment he joined the staff he has been pivotal in the programs success. His exceptional basketball IQ and methodical approach to the game coupled with his high level ability and in-game experience really sets him apart from the average coach. Coach Deshawn is on the All-Time Assists Leaderboards at Tarleton State University, he holds the record for the best 3pt % in school history and has played on multiple professional teams since graduating college 2021. We are beyond blessed to have him on our staff.

Coming up on his second full year with the program, Weatherford native, Coach Tyler Thomas brings an abundance of basketball knowledge and understanding to his teams. His level headed, cool and collected approach to the game is what really sets him apart as a coach. Coach Tyler’s youthful savvy allows us as a staff to strengthen the program overall chemistry.

With Coach J being one of the first STE Soldiers Alum, we are super excited to have himp join the soldiers coaching staff this year. Because he is still currently a student athlete at KWU, he will be able to share his knowledge of what it took to get to the next level as well as what it takes to play (get into the rotation) once you’ve gotten that scholarship you worked so hard to acquire. While all of our coaches have collegiate experience, with Coach J still being an active college player, his insight will prove to be very valuable to our Soldiers with college hoops aspirations!
