Barbers Hill Names Cody Simper
as New Head Football Coach

Barbers Hill High School has found its next head football coach, hiring Cody Simper from Cypress Woods High School. Simper takes over a highly coveted position, leading a program known for its strong community support, top-tier facilities, and high expectations for success.

Simper brings a proven track record to Barbers Hill. In four seasons at Cypress Woods, he led the Wildcats to a 26-17 record, including an 8-3 finish in 2024. Before that, he made a name for himself at Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial (2015-2020), where he built the program from the ground up and compiled a 50-14 record, reaching the Class 5A-Division I state semifinals in 2020. He also spent five years as head coach at Corpus Christi Ray (2010-2014), earning a 30-24 record.

A Gonzales native, Simper began his coaching career as a running backs coach at Corpus Christi Ray before advancing through the ranks in Cy-Fair ISD. Known for his attention to detail, relationship-building skills, and dynamic coaching style, he encourages his athletes to participate in multiple sports and fosters a culture of energy and enthusiasm.

Expectations remain high for Barbers Hill, and Simper steps into a role where state championships are the standard. With his leadership and experience, the Eagles are poised for continued success.
