Tony Heath, Head Football Coach (Retired)
Pearland High School, Texas

Heath is originally from Lubbock, Texas, and attend near by West Texas A&M University. He started coaching at University of Texas at Arlington as a graduate assistant, moving on to Santa Fe High School for three years as an assistant coach, and La Marque High School for eight years as an assistant coach where he won four state championships before becoming the head coach at Pearland in 1997. 

Prior to Heath's arrival, Pearland football teams won only six games from 1990 until 1996. Heath arrived in Pearland from an assistant's role at La Marque where the Cougars had won state titles in 1995, 1996 and 1997. 

Heath and his staff quickly infused a winning mentality at Pearland High School which became infectious and remains so today. Heath is the most successful coach in the history of Pearland football, going 195-53 in two decades at the helm. Pearland amassed a record of 173-33 in Heath's final 17 years, reaching the state semifinals in 2001 and 2006 before winning the Class 6A state championship over Euless Trinity 28-24 to complete a 16-0 season in 2010. The Oilers advanced to the state title game in 2013 before losing to Allen.
