In leading the Bangs Dragons to the playoffs for the first time in five years last season, Kyle Maxfield took a big step toward restoring the BHS program to the heights it had achieved and expectation level it had grown accustomed to under former coaches Bo Robinson (61-27 from 1999-2005) and Chuck Lipsey (50-31 from 2008-2014).

With 14 lettermen returning from last year’s 6-5 squad, including eight offensive and seven defensive starters, the former Brownwood and Shallowater head man is hoping to take the next step this fall.

Leading a program that went a combined 9-41 from 2014 to 2018, including a 3-7 mark in his first season on campus, Maxfield has the Dragons believing they can compete. And with some quality talent and experience to go with that belief, he’s expecting big things in 2020.
