Taylor Allen has been named the new head baseball coach at Randall High School, taking over the program for the 2026‑27 season after a distinguished tenure at Caprock High School.
Allen, a former player at Wayland Baptist University and a professional with the Amarillo Dillas, brings 11 years of coaching experience and a deep understanding of the local baseball landscape.
A Legacy of Success
Under the previous leadership of Brad Propst, the Raiders posted a 21‑16‑1 record and advanced to the Class 4A Division II Regional Quarterfinals in 2026, setting a high bar for the incoming coach.
Allen says he intends to preserve that standard while instilling a culture of discipline and hard work, emphasizing development of athletes both on and off the field.
Community and Continuity
The transition comes as the school district, Canyon Independent School District, looks to maintain momentum in its athletic programs. Allen will be introduced at a press conference at Randall High School, where he will outline his vision for the team.
Fans and players alike are eager to see how Allen’s background at Caprock and his playing days with the Amarillo Dillas will shape the Raiders’ approach in the upcoming season.
The move also underscores the interconnectedness of Texas high school baseball, with ties to institutions such as Wayland Baptist University and regional clubs like the Amarillo Dillas.
