CISCO — Decent numbers backed by an unwavering work ethic have helped Cisco maintain one of the most successful football programs in the Big Country for more than two decades.

It is a tradition that extends back to 2002 under then second-year coach Brent West, who reached five state championship games in a 19-year tenure that included 13 double-digit win seasons. And let’s not forget a 2A DII state title in 2013.

That tradition has continued under West’s successor, Kevin Stennett, who has notched three straight double-digit-win campaigns and three straight regional championship game appearances since taking over in 2020. 

There is, however, a speed bump ahead.
