History of Doug Sibley

Where it started

Coach Doug Sibley and his family moved to Omaha, Texas from Kansas in the fall of 1980 and began coaching at Paul Pewitt High School.  He was the Defensive Coordinator for the varsity football team, the assistant varsity basketball coach, and the head high school track and field coach. Though Coach Sibley loved coaching, his true passion was being in the classroom and teaching.  He taught American History, Sociology, and Drivers Education.  He truly loved seeing his students learn and succeed. Sibley held this position for 22 years at Pewitt High School until he passed away on December 11, 2001 after suffering a massive stroke.
