SNYDER —After an eight-year stint as the head football coach in Lovington, N.M., Anthony Gonzales arrives at Snyder with a major rebuilding task in front of him. 

With only five starters back on both sides of the football among only eight returning lettermen from a 3-7 team, Gonzales is tasked with setting a foundation and reestablishing a winning culture at a program that lost 24 lettermen to graduation. 

On the plus side for Snyder, 2024 presents a solid opportunity for Gonzales to start virtually from scratch. And he has no shortage of enthusiasm while approaching the task.
