CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Sinton Pirates have not missed playoffs since football head coach Michael Troutman took over the program in 2019. While Monday marked the first day of official football practice, Sinton has been working since December 12, 2025 when they fell in the State Semifinal. A lot of great pieces this year too, and so we know that we have a great shot at State this year." He's able to see the field and make the cuts he needs, so he's a very strong runner too," said Sinton football head coach Michael Troutman. "He's going to be an impactful player on both sides of the ball."
