Bill Merrell reflects on 44-year coaching career

After 44 years of coaching, Bill Merrell is calling it a career, but that doesn’t mean Merrell is completely walking away from the thing he loves.

The 67-year-old plans to help his son coach baseball and also wants to spend time watching his granddaughter play softball – all in Oklahoma.

But as far as being a fulltime coach in Boerne, Merrell is done and is moving back to Perryton where he has a home on the Texas/ Oklahoma border. He’ll visit his family in Norman, Oklahoma on a regular basis.
