Wichita Falls had one of the predominant football programs for more than 30 years, from the late 1930s to the early 1970s. Under the guidances of head coaches Ted Jeffries (1931-43), Thurman Jones (1944-46), Joe Golding (1947-61), and Donnell Crosslin (1965-79), the Wichita Falls Coyotes made the state finals ten times between 1937 and 1971, while winning six times.
