Cy Springs High School Football Coach Honored as Texans Coach of the Week
Oji Fagan, Cypress Springs High School head football coach, was honored as the Houston Texans Coach of the Week on Nov. 5 during the team’s morning practice.
Fagan, now in his fourth year as Cypress Springs head coach, was nominated for the award.
“I’m driven to coach because it gives me the opportunity to influence young lives in a meaningful way,” Fagan said. “My high school coaches imparted invaluable life lessons that laid the foundation for the man I am today. Coming from a single-parent household, these coaches were father figures to me, filling a crucial role in my life for which I am forever grateful. They showed me that coaching is about more than just sports — it’s about making a positive impact. I aim to help my athletes grow into responsible, productive members of society. Success goes beyond wins and losses; it’s about developing men who will thrive on and off the field.”
