The coaching accomplishments of Travis and Charlie Reeve are well documented. Travis Reeve won a state championship at Cuero in 2018 before moving on to New Caney, where with younger brother Charlie Reeve as his offensive coordinator led the team to a district championship and the most wins in school history. Charlie Reeve began his head coaching career last season at Victoria East, where he led the Titans to their first playoff win since 2016.
The siblings worked together as assistant coaches for their father Mark Reeve at Cuero, but neither Charlie nor Travis have coached against each other. But they will be on opposite sidelines when Travis’ El Campo (6-4) team takes on Charlie’s Corpus Christi Calallen (8-2) team in a Class 4A, Division I bi-district playoff game at 7:30 p.m.
Friday at Sandcrab Stadium in Port Lavaca. “Even before I took the job, we talked about how our districts matched up and we may end up playing each other,” said Charlie, who is in his first season at Calallen. “I never really thought a whole lot about it other than hoping it was the third round or something.
” Calallen was the champion in District 16, while El Campo lost its final three games to finish fourth in District 15 and created the matchup. “It will be a unique deal,” said Travis, who is in his second season at El Campo. “It’s the same family, but we coached together.
He was our offensive coordinator in New Caney. He’s done a great job as a head coach, turning around thin.
