Over the last decade, the Edna Cowboys moved from yearly Regional finalist contender to yearly State Semi-Finalists, with their last three seasons ending one round from the State Championship game. This year Edna enters with a new, yet familiar, head coach with hopes to get Edna over the hump. Jamie Dixon arrived after resigning as Athletic Director from Blanco High School. Before that, Dixon was head football coach at Industrial.
Dixon arrived at Industrial and turned a struggling team into a yearly playoff threat. After the 2020 season, Dixon moved on to Blanco, where he compiled a 26-12 record including playing three playoff games in 2022 and four in 2024. He has a 6425 overall career record.
Between Blanco and Industrial, Dixon has coached against Edna, going 2-4 with both wins coming while he was at Industrial.
