Coach Clinton Dunham grew up in the DFW area and attended high school at Arlington Lamar. Before his coaching days, he played college baseball at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). After playing, Dunham became an assistant coach at Houston Baptist University for five years. He helped Houston Baptist to two conference titles before joining the Panthers in 2015.
The Panthers are currently 6-2 in the district with their only losses to Arlington Heights and Trimble Tech. This is good enough to put the Panthers at third in the district, sitting behind Tech and Heights.
The Panthers split their season series with Trimble, winning one game 5-2 and losing the other 4-3. Both games were very close, and the Panthers feel that they have the better team.
They are well in playoff position as South Hills, the closest team behind them, is only 2-4 in the district, but is still fighting for the last playoff spot in the district with North Side.
Paschal has seven games left in the regular season, and they look to finish off strong. They finish district play with a series versus North Side and Polytechnic; the Panthers should sweep both teams.
Out of Paschal’s eight losses, six of them have come from non-district teams. This is a good sign because Paschal’s non-district lineup was very difficult, as they had to face teams like Aledo and Liberty Christian.
On Saturday, April 5th, the Panthers lost 3-0 to Joshua, who is first in their respective district. Paschal looks to bounce back against North Side on Tuesday and Friday.
Overall, Coach Dunham has been amazing ever since he joined the Panthers in 2015, bringing the school winning season after winning season, and playoff appearances.
Congratulations, Coach Dunham, on your 100th career win at Paschal.
