Much of that success has come under longtime head coach Larry Hill, who has guided the program since 1993. A member of the Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor, Coach Hill has recently added another award to his accomplished career by being named the 2026 UIL Coach of the Year, recognizing his leadership and the program’s continued success.

Smithson Valley’s accomplishments also extend beyond the football field. During the 2025-26 school year, the girls soccer team captured the program’s first state championship, completing a historic, undefeated 29-0 season. That success contributed to a memorable year for the Rangers, who were also honored with the 2025-26 Dan Cook Cup, recognizing Smithson Valley as the highest-performing school across all sports in the Express-News area.
