Bobby Moegle, the coach at Monterey High School, is making his mark in baseball coach history. He was inducted for his great work into the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Honor in 1988, and also in 1989. He was even named Texas Coach of the year in 1972, and in 1974. This man is pulling through with great strength, and is getting immense credit for his many and growing wins.
On August 1, 1959 he came to Lubbock. “I had never been here before, but I was ready to enter the coaching ranks.” Bobby Moegle said. Beginning to grow close to these new kids was quite easy. “I inherited kids with talent,” Moegle says, “The 1974 team was the best team I’ve ever had.” Wins began to come back to back over the course of the season. “They won thirty straight games on the way to the title.” Moegle claims. The great chemistry of the new coach and his team was outstanding. There was great appreciation for Bobby Moegle. “The 1967 and 1991 teams have been my biggest surprise in terms of winning beyond what I thought was possible,” Moegle says. He stayed on at one school for 32 years, which in coaching is almost unheard of, “Lubbock became home”, replies Moegle, “it will always be home.” Allan Wolf, the pitcher on Moegle’s team, told great words of his beloved coach. “Coach Moegle inspired us to work hard and to live up to our potential” says Wolf. Moegle is a coach that doesn’t play around he believes that if your having fun practicing then you’re probably not practicing, though he knew when it was time to have fun as a team. Winning their fourth consecutive district put the team and the coach in high spirits, “was the icing on the cake.” This coach will stay strong.
