Milestone 200th victory for Soza and his Beeville coaching staff

Posted Date: 11/28/2023

Beeville, Texas – The Beeville Trojans are moving on to the Area second round of playoffs after upsetting Calallen 27-25. Beeville head coach Chris Soza now has a (68-49) total record in two stints with the Trojans, and he's (200-124) over his 28 year career so far.

"Obviously it's special," Chris Sosa, Beeville football head coach, said. "I mean it's a playoff game No. 1. I didn't want my 200th win to overlook that. I mean to me the big deal is the kids. This is what it was about."

Just three days after his birthday, Soza earned his 200th career win as a head coach.

"You know they put in a lot of time and time and effort and lot of hours go into it," Elijah Sustaita, Beeville senior quarterback, said. "Especially during the weekends I know they spend a lot of time away from their family getting the gameplan for us. Without them I don't think we'd be winning as much as we do."

Sosa's 200 wins began in Mathis (8 years) in 1996 and continued in Beeville (5 years), Alice (8 years) and Medina Valley (2 years) before returning to the Trojans in 2019. A milestone that could not have been reached without his family.

"My wife of 41 years. It's not easy being a coaches wife," Soza said. "They put up with so much. When you have kids that are playing they're up in the stands hearing all of these things, so my hats off to her."
