Wilson Rigg will take over as head football coach at Azle High School, Azle ISD announced Tuesday.
Rigg, most recently an offensive coordinator and associate head coach at Anna, has spent 11 years in coaching. He has had stints at Lubbock Coronado, Midland Lee, and Augustana College.
As part of the press release, Rigg released a statement:
“I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to serve at Azle ISD,” said Rigg. “This is a wonderful community with a strong tradition, and I am excited for my family and I to become a part of it. My goal is to help develop young men into strong leaders while competing at a championship level.”
While at Anna from 2021 to 2026, the Coyotes thrived, winning 54 games and a Class 4A Division I state championship in 2023. During the title winning season, the team averaged 38.1 points per game and defeated Chapel Hill 26-0 in the championship.
In 2024 and 2025, Anna made consecutive regional semifinal appearances after a move to Class 5A, where the Coyotes joined one of Texas’ toughest districts. Despite tough competition including Lovejoy, Melissa, Walnut Grove and more, they handled the promotion well with a 19-7 record.
Rigg played a big role in an offense that averaged 50.9 points in 2024 and 42.2 points in 2025. He’ll replace Denon Dorris, who has led Azle for the past 16 seasons. He now serves as the athletic director of Wichita Falls ISD.
After a strong 7-4 season in 2024 that saw the Hornets make a bi-district playoff appearance, they posted a 2-8 record in 2025.
