🏆 Plainview ISD Welcomes New Head Softball Coach We are proud to announce the newest addition to our Bulldog family — Coach Karson Robinson, who will serve as the Head Softball Coach for Plainview High School. With a strong legacy in athletics and a heart for developing student-athletes on and off the field, Coach Robinson brings passion, experience, and a clear vision for the future of our softball program. Coaching Background Coach Robinson comes to Plainview ISD with a rich coaching history, including multiple stints at Lubbock Christian High School. He began as an assistant coach on his father’s staff from 2008–2012 and returned for another four years under Coach Chest Tucker, where he had the special opportunity to coach his daughter through her high school career. “Who I am as a coach is a credit to those years at LC. They molded me into the coach and man I am today.” Educational and Athletic Journey Born and raised in Lubbock, Texas, Coach Robinson is a proud graduate of Lubbock Christian High School where he competed in football, basketball, and baseball. He was a part of two state championship teams and continued his baseball career at Lubbock Christian University. At LCU, he played in three NAIA World Series, winning a national title in 2009 and finishing as runner-up in 2011. He earned his degree in Exercise and Sports Science with an emphasis in Sports Psychology in 2011. He also briefly pursued professional baseball. “Sports have played a major role in shaping who I am today. I was fortunate to grow up immersed in the world of athletics, especially with my dad working as an assistant sports information director at Texas Tech.” Vision for Plainview Softball Coach Robinson is passionate about building a program rooted in effort, character, and community. “My goal is to create a program that goes beyond the game — one where our kids win in life. Our program will be built on a MAXOUT mentality, giving our best every day, as inspired by Colossians 3:23-24. We want every little girl in Plainview to dream of playing softball at PHS.” Family Support Behind the scenes, Coach Robinson is surrounded by a strong support system. “From my parents and grandparents to my siblings, our lives have always revolved around sports. I’m also grateful for my wife Heather and our daughter Valerie, who just graduated from LCHS. I was honored to coach Valerie during her four years in high school, where we reached four state tournaments and made two appearances in the state championship game.” Beyond the Field Outside of coaching, Coach Robinson enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, and exploring new food spots. “I’m a big foodie and love checking out local eats wherever we go. My family and I are thrilled to be joining the Plainview community and can’t wait to get started.” Please join us in giving Coach Karson Robinson a warm Bulldog welcome as he begins this exciting new chapter with Plainview ISD! 🥎

🎉 Congratulations to our very own Board Member, Sylvia De La Garza, on making Plainview ISD history! 🎓 After completing a year-long leadership journey across five different Texas school districts, she has officially earned the title of Master Trustee through the TASB Leadership Program — becoming the first-ever in Plainview ISD to do so!
