McAllen ISD announced Tuesday it has named McAllen Memorial defensive coordinator Walter Moses Patterson to be the program’s interim football head coach. Patterson will also serve as the Mustangs’ interim athletic coordinator.

Patterson has coached at Memorial for 11 years where he’s spent the previous eight as defensive coordinator. He has 20 years of coaching experience.

“I feel like this is a tremendous opportunity. The kids, the community, the school and administration, they’re all great,” Patterson said. “This will be my 12th year going into McAllen Memorial and I feel like we’ve built a pretty good home there and I want to continue the tradition and move forward.”

The position opened earlier this month after longtime Memorial head coach Bill Littleton announced his retirement.

Under Littleton, the Mustangs went 128-71, winning nine district titles and making the playoffs 14 times in 18 seasons. He was inducted into the Rio Grande Valley Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday.

“This is just a dream come true. Memorial is a special place,” Patterson said. “There’s been a great foundation that’s been laid before me and I’m just fortunate and really happy to get the opportunity to jump in the seat. Look for a lot of excitement coming out of Memorial.”

McAllen Memorial is fresh off winning a share of the District 16-5A DI championship last season. The Mustangs went 5-2 overall and 4-0 in district play in 2020.

“The Mustangs are going to be the Mustangs. We’re going to continue our tradition and continue to run the ball; we’ll do a couple new concepts here and there, but the foundation has been laid,” Patterson said. “It’s my job to go out there and continue to lay forth a new foundation for kids we have coming in and hold them accountable for previous generations that have come through Memorial.”

McAllen Memorial’s Bill Littleton is set to retire from his position as the Mustangs’ football head coach and athletic coordinator for the last 18 years.

McAllen Memorial school principal Pedro Alvarez Jr. announced Littleton’s decision Wednesday on Twitter.

“To the McAllen Memorial staff, students and community, I wanted to share with you that Coach Bill Littleton has announced his decision to retire after 18 seasons as Head Football Coach and Athletic Coordinator at Memorial and a career in education that spans 45 years,” Alvarez wrote.

His Mustang teams have won nine district titles and 14 playoff appearances. His teams have reached the playoffs 17 of 21 years. His overall coaching record at two schools is 156-87 (.650).

Sharyland High baseball head coach Barton Bickerton announced his retirement Wednesday, after spending more than 25 years at the helm of the program. Bickerton, who wraps up his career with nearly 550 wins to his name, leaves behind a lasting legacy as one of the great Rio Grande Valley high school baseball coaches of all-time.

“I would like to thank my former players for taking me on one heck of a ride. You don’t win almost 550 games without talented and high-character kids,” Bickerton said in a statement. “Our kids were always the example for the school on and off the field. Thank you to all of the former coaches I was able to work with. Thank you for your loyalty and friendship on and off the field.”

Before beginning his high school coaching career, Bickerton played college baseball at Texas-Pan American in Edinburg from 1990-92 under hall of fame coach Al Ogletree.

Since then, Bickerton has been an instrumental figure in representing RGV high school baseball on a statewide level. He has repeatedly served as an officer with the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association and was an All-State Committee Chairman during the 2020-21 school year.

He also worked bring baseball scouts to the Valley, helping shine a light on the often overlooked area. The result has been multiple RGV baseball products being drafted and/or signed to play in Major League Baseball in recent years.

Over the last two years, Bickerton has coached alongside his son, Austin Bickerton, a Sharyland High alum and the Rattlers’ current pitching coach.

“Wherever I coached I was blessed to have extremely talented assistant coaches. Thank you to the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association for taking me in and allowing me to grow and learn from some of the best in the business,” Bickerton said in the statement. “Thank you to Sharyland for allowing me to not only coach my two sons and see my daughter play, but allowing me to coach with my son these last two years. Lastly, I would like to thank my family for making all the sacrifices they made for me and allowing me to pursue my dreams. Thank you, Debbie, for always being my best friend, wife and biggest fan.”

Joining Bickerton in retirement is longtime Sharyland High assistant baseball coach JR Martinez, who spent 17 years with the program.

During their time together at Sharyland High, the Rattlers created program history by reaching the 2019 Region IV-5A Final and winning multiple district titles.
