📣 SSC ATHLETICS SPOTLIGHT 📣

Our spotlight series continues as we proudly recognize one of the most important people working behind the scenes for Sanger Athletics — Dani Garcia! 💜💛

As the Athletics Secretary for the boys and girls athletic directors, Dani plays a vital role in keeping the entire department organized, on schedule, and moving forward every day. From managing calendars and communication to coordinating countless details for coaches, athletes, and events, she is truly one of the people who helps hold Sanger Athletics together.

Now entering her fourth year at Sanger High School, Dani brings an incredible work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to connect with people. Those qualities were shaped during her more than 15 years working as a nail technician and hairstylist before beginning this chapter of her career.

Dani and her husband, Coach Zach Garcia, are proud members of the Sanger family and are raising their four children — Ean, Aiden, Zane, and Paisley — right here in the community.

The coaches and athletes may get the spotlight on game day, but none of it runs smoothly without the dedicated people working behind the scenes. Dani is the glue that helps keep the ship moving forward and on time, and Sanger Athletics is better because of her.

Thank you, Dani Garcia, for everything you do for our coaches, student-athletes, schools, and community! 👏

💜💛 For the Team. For the Town. For the Tribe.

📣 SSC COACH’S SPOTLIGHT — WELCOME TO SANGER! 📣

Today we’re excited to welcome Coach Britt Lusk to the Sanger family! 💜💛

Originally from Pilot Point, Coach Lusk begins his first year in coaching and will serve as an assistant coach for football, basketball, and track at Sanger Middle School.

After spending time around several schools in the area, Coach Lusk says he has always admired the culture of Sanger ISD, the outstanding staff, and the strong sense of community that makes our district so special. We’re excited to see the energy, enthusiasm, and fresh perspective he brings to our student-athletes.

Outside of school and athletics, Coach Lusk enjoys hiking, drinking coffee, and getting to know new people — so we know he’ll fit right in with the Tribe!

Please join us in giving Coach Lusk a warm Welcome to Sanger! 👏

💜💛 For the Team. For the Town. For the Tribe.

Great athletic programs are built on the dedication of the people who care for athletes long before the lights come on Friday night. Today, we’re excited to introduce the newest member of the Sanger Sports Medicine team…

💜💛 Hayden Terry – Assistant Athletic Trainer 💛💜

Coach Terry brings 9 years of athletic training and education experience to Sanger ISD. A Certified Athletic Trainer, he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from the University of North Texas and his Master’s Degree in Athletic Training from the University of Central Oklahoma.

Throughout his career, Hayden has gained valuable experience working with organizations including the Oklahoma City Thunder, Oklahoma City Comets, and Wayland Baptist University. Most recently, he served 7 years as the Head Athletic Trainer at Valley View ISD, where he built a reputation for outstanding care and dedication to student-athletes.

When he’s away from the athletic training room, Hayden and his wife, Chelsea, enjoy spending time with their three children—Paxton, Tate, and Abbie—while making family, sports, and travel a priority.

Please join us in welcoming Coach Hayden Terry to the Sanger family! We’re excited to have someone with his experience, passion, and commitment serving our student-athletes.

🏐 SSC Sunday – Did You Know? 🏐

Over the next few Sundays, we’ll continue highlighting fun facts, program records, and memorable milestones from the rich history of Sanger Lady Indians Volleyball as we count down to the start of another exciting season.

📣 SSC TRAINER SPOTLIGHT 📣

Championship programs are built by more than coaches and athletes—they’re built by the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep those athletes healthy, confident, and ready to compete. Today, we’re excited to recognize another outstanding member of the Sanger Sports Medicine team…

💜💛 Mariah Jones – Sports Medicine Trainer | Sanger High School 💛💜

Now entering her 4th year at Sanger ISD, Mariah has become an invaluable part of the Indian athletic family. After earning her Master’s Degree in Athletic Training from Baylor University, she began her career at Sanger just one week after getting married—and hasn’t looked back.

Whether she’s evaluating injuries, helping athletes through rehabilitation, or celebrating their return to competition, Mariah is passionate about making a difference in the lives of every student-athlete she serves.

Away from the field, Mariah and her husband, Justin, stay busy raising their daughter and young son, along with their two Scooby-Doo look-alike dogs that keep life fun and entertaining.

Thank you, Mariah Jones, for your compassion, dedication, and commitment to caring for our athletes every single day. Your work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is seen every time an athlete gets back on the field, court, or track.

💜 For the Team. For the Town. For the Tribe. 💛

📣 SSC TRAINER SPOTLIGHT 📣

Behind every successful athlete is someone working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep them healthy, safe, and ready to compete. Today, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on one of Sanger’s very best…

💜💛 Ashley Rogers – Head Athletic Trainer | Sanger High School 💛💜

For the past 6 years, Ashley has dedicated her career to caring for student-athletes through every challenge—from injury prevention and treatment to rehabilitation and helping them return to the sports they love.

Ashley says the most rewarding part of her job is watching athletes step back onto the field or court after overcoming an injury. While much of her work happens behind the scenes, the countless hours, long days, and unwavering support she provides make an incredible difference in the lives of Sanger athletes.

She and her husband, Coach Chance, have had the unique opportunity to work together at Sanger, pouring into the same student-athletes and sharing a passion for helping young people succeed both on and off the field.

Thank you, Ashley Rogers, for your compassion, professionalism, and relentless commitment to keeping our athletes healthy and ready to compete. Sanger is blessed to have you in our corner!
