Allison Ratcliff

Freshman Coach
I am blessed to be entering my third year coaching in the Pine Tree school district and completing nine years of teaching. I have been lucky to work with some of the best men and women in East Texas while here at Pine Tree. I consider each man and woman on our coaching staff, family. I am fortunate because I get to work with 7th-12th graders on a daily basis whether in the classroom or on the playing field. I teach 7th grade Texas History at Pine Tree Junior HIgh while co-leading the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (Anybodys). I am from Marshall, TX and attended East Texas Baptist University, so this is HOME for me.

I enjoy what the Pineywoods has to offer as I enjoy fishing, hunting, and playing golf when I'm not at school. I also have two brothers and a sister. A niece (Harper) and two nephews (Cannon and Stetson), have my heart and never cease to amaze me. I love the Texas Rangers and Texas Longhorns and try to at least catch a game or two.

God leading me back to East Texas was total providence and I'm so glad I listened! Pine Tree is moving towards excellence and I'm glad to be along for the ride.
