Sundown ISD

Pink-Out 2026 | Honoring the Life and Legacy of Coach Bobby Avery **$11,005.53!** What an incredible display of generosity, compassion, and Sundown HEART! During our annual Pink-Out Celebration, Sundown ISD had the privilege of honoring the life and legacy of Coach Bobby Avery while presenting a check for **$11,005.53 to Loop ISD** in support of the Coach Bobby Avery Memorial Scholarship Fund! We were honored to welcome Mrs. LaNita Avery, Loop ISD Superintendent Heath Blackmon, High School Principal Mike Reed, and Loop ISD seniors Rowan Rodriguez, Israel Avalos, Brian Wiebe, and Landon Lowan for this special presentation. For 42 years, Coach Avery dedicated his life to coaching six-man football, impacting countless young men and communities throughout West Texas. His coaching journey took him through Loop, Santo, Borden County, Whitharral, and Meadow. In 2023, he was inducted into the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association Hall of Fame, a testament to his remarkable career. But beyond the victories and accolades, his greatest legacy was found in the relationships he built and the lives he influenced. Throughout his journey, Coach Avery was supported by his biggest fan, his wife, LaNita. Together, they raised their children, Brandon and Avery, building a life centered on family, faith, and service. We are especially blessed to have Mrs. Avery as part of our Sundown Elementary family, making this recognition even more meaningful! A special THANK YOU to our SHS Cheer Sponsors, Mrs. Sandy Lopez and Coach Sarah Goodman, along with our SHS Cheerleaders! These ladies poured their time and energy into organizing our bake sale and silent auction, helping make this incredible contribution possible! We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our entire Sundown community! Whether you purchased a Pink-Out T-shirt, donated an auction item, placed a bid, contributed to the bake sale, or simply supported the cause, YOU played a part in making this happen! Your generosity is a beautiful reflection of what it means to have Sundown HEART. One of the things we believe deeply here in Sundown is that the true impact of a coach, teacher, or mentor isn't measured by victories, but by the lives they touch. Coach Avery lived that truth for 42 years, and through this scholarship, his influence will continue to reach young people for generations to come. $11,005.53 raised by a community with a BIG HEART, honoring a man who made a BIG IMPACT! Thank you, Roughneck Nation, for coming together to honor Coach Bobby Avery! #LoveOthers #WorkHard #EmbraceExcellence #SundownHEART #SundownISD #RoughneckNation #PinkOut2026 #CoachBobbyAvery
