That is going to be hard as Art won 3 or 4 state championships in that town. Sterling was at Magnolia High school as head coach and did well there.

Doty, 36, has been head football coach at Magnolia High School, a Class 5A Division I school, since 2014.

Under Doty, Magnolia’s Bulldogs have fielded consistently strong offensive squads using a spread offense. They averaged 538 yards in total offense per game this past season, which was second-best in Class 5A, Underwood noted. The Bulldogs had a 5-5 record in 2018, with a 3-4 mark in District 8-5A Division I. They finished fifth in the eight-team race. Magnolia was also 5-5 in 2017, but qualified for the playoffs before falling in the bi-district round.

Doty was a finalist for the Touchdown Club of Houston’s Coach of the Year honor in 2015. His Magnolia teams were 10-2 in both 2015 and 2016, following a 3-7 mark his first year there.

Sterling was the only starter on that 2006 o-line that received a scholarship offer out of high school. It was to West Point.
