Aaron Wampler was confirmed as Clarendon CISD’s new athletic director and head football coach when the CCISD Board of Trustees met in called session Monday.
According to Clarendon Superintendent Jarod Bellar, Wampler is the current head coach at Boys Ranch.
“He is a rising star who gets the most out of his student athletes,” Bellar said. “I’m excited. He understands a program starts in junior high and that you have to start there. He wants to make kids good citizens and good athletes.”
Wampler visited Clarendon and has toured the community and the school facilities and is ready to get to work.
“I’m looking forward to getting there next week, meeting everyone, and getting started,” Wampler said.
Clarendon’s reputation and the opportunity to move up in his career drew Wampler to CCISD.
“I was attracted to the chance to be an athletic director and by the success Clarendon has had,” he said. “It was a good opportunity career-wise and a good chance to win some football games.”
After six years of coaching at Caprock High School, Wampler has spent the last three years as the head football coach at Boys Ranch and was also head baseball coach this year.
Wampler and his wife, Katie, just welcomed their second son on March 13. Their first son is two years old.
Wampler is originally from Lubbock graduated from Frenship High School. He played football for West Texas A&M University under coach Don Carthel from 2008-2012 and earned his master’s degree from WTAMU in 2013.
“I really think his ceiling for creating and maintaining a successful program is limitless,” Bellar said. “Everyone speaks of the hard work, discipline, and integrity within his program.”
