He replaces Casey Walraven, who left to become the next head coach at Hutto, a Class 6A Austin area school.
Walraven built Alvarado into a Fort Worth-area Class 4A power. The Indians have made consecutive trips to the regional finals, where they fell to Celina, a state power. They tallied a 25-2 overall record during that span with one of the highest scoring offenses in Texas.
Sims, an Alvarado alum, led Weatherford to a 1-9 record in 2025, and the team finished winless in District 3-6A. The Roos last made the playoffs in 2021, Sims’ first year leading the team. During that season, Weatherford beat North Crowley en route to a 6-1 district record.
Sims will take over an Alvarado team that has state championship potential. Before Weatherford, he had stints at Grandview, Snyder and Iowa Park. He led the latter to a state semifinal appearance. He took over at Weatherford for Billy Mathis, who departed for Brock.
