Stockton, who has been on the baseball staff at the University of Houston for the
past two years, was with the Javelinas for 10 years and the team won two Lone Star
Conference championships.
The squad advanced into the NCAA Division II national playoffs in 2008.
He is a native of Houston and his father, Bragg, was the long-time baseball coach
at the University of Houston.
Stockton was baseball coach at Cedar Valley before joining the Javelinas.
AN ABILENE CHRISTIAN fan posted some nice comments on the Javelina
home football experience after attending the recent game between the Javelinas and
Wildcats in Javelina Stadium.
The fan called the tailgate experience “awesome” and said it “rivals a lot of D1
schools…the Javelinas should be proud.”
“The way that A&M-Kingsville gets so many people involved is the key to their
having such a great gameday experience,” the fan continued. “The train is such a
great tool for that. They had eating contests in the end zones shown on the screen,
kiss cams, the military, Whataburger…a group from the band came over to the
stands and played to the crowd. The big loud chopper leading them on the field. It is
a production.
“The band is by far the best I’ve heard at any D2 game. The horns are
powerful. …”
It’s nice to hear the Javelina program praised, especially by a fan from a visiting
chool.
LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE WAS on national television last week in a game with
klahoma State, and one of the Louisiana coaches received praise from the TV
nnouncers.
Ron Hudson is the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for the Cajuns.
He was the Javelina offensive coach in 2004.
Hudson had been at Texas-El Paso before coming to Kingsville for a season.
