During an extended tenure as Wylie’s defensive coordinator under legendary coach Hugh Sandifer, Clay Martin was the architect of some of the best defenses in the state at his classification. 

Now in his first year as the Bulldogs’ head coach, Martin has handed the keys of the WHS defense over to a new driver.

With first-year defensive coordinator Bryan Hill has come a new voice and philosophy. But the Bulldogs stop troops are proving as disruptive, opportunistic and stingy as ever under the 2009 University of Texas graduate and former University of South Florida safeties coach — a fact that makes the old coordinator in Martin smile.
