From Middle School to the Big Stage
After starting at Austin Middle School, Coach Bohannon’s journey has taken him to the sidelines of both football and softball at Tascosa.
His most memorable moment? Coaching in Cowboys Stadium—a dream come true for any Texas coach.
On game days, you’ll find him listening to the same Crowder playlist for softball and sipping Liquid Death during football (one pregame, one midgame). His toughest opponents? Lubbock Cooper in softball this year and Longview in football.
Cooking, Community, and Work-Life Balance
A hidden talent: Coach Bo loves to cook! If he gets a pre-game meal, it’s a grilled chicken salad with avocado.
If he weren’t coaching, he’d be serving as a police officer. The best advice he’s received: “Find a way to leave work at work as much as possible”—a crucial lesson for any coach balancing passion and personal life.

Dedicated, Enthusiastic, Authentic
His players describe him as dedicated, enthusiastic, and authentic.
His favorite sports movies are 42 and Happy Gilmore, and while he manages the football program’s social media, he appreciates any chance to unplug. In his office, you’ll often hear “Lord of All” by Crowder.
Coaching Philosophy: Short Memory, Big Impact
Sports have taught Coach Bo the value of a short-term memory—keep working, no matter what.
Inspired by George Washington Carver, he lives by: “Take what you have, with what you are, make something of it, and never be satisfied.” His coaching motto: “Do small things in great ways.”
Goals: Cowboys Stadium and Record-Breaking Wins
For the upcoming season, his football goal is to make it back to Cowboys Stadium, and for softball, to notch the most wins in Tascosa’s history.
He’s a black coffee drinker, believes in using film study to prepare but values field practice most, and leans defensive.
His favorite drills: team drills in football and any hitting drills in softball.
The Heart of Tascosa – Community Support
Coach Bo says the best part of coaching at Tascosa is the unwavering support from the community—they always have the team’s back, no matter what’s needed.
