BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A new coach has been hired at Pieper High School to lead the football program and all other sports.
The Comal Independent School District announced on Friday that Eddie Salas is the new athletic coordinator and head football coach at the school.
Salas brings 27 years of coaching experience, including stints at Harlan High School, Holmes High School and Boerne Champion.
At Harlan, Salas compiled a 75-21 record and led the Hawks to the playoffs every season that he was on the sideline.
In an interview with KSAT on Friday, Salas said that he’s thankful for his time at Harlan.
“You know, Harlan’s been a great community to me,” said Salas. “I was able to start the program from the beginning and establish a great place.”
The Hawks ended last season 10-2, following a November defeat to Dripping Springs.
The experienced coach was recently selected to coach in the prestigious Navy All-American Bowl and served as a head coach in the 2025 San Antonio Sports All-Star Game.
Last season, the Pieper Warriors were bounced out of the playoffs by the eventual state champion, the Smithson Valley Rangers.
Salas said that Pieper High School is close to where he lives, and that contributed to his decision.
“Now, I’m moving onto Pieper High School, which is the school is in my backyard,” said Salas. “You know, that was a critical factor as my family and I have never all been together in one area.”
The Warriors finished last season with an 8-5 record.
