This Friday at our home football game Vicksburg will honor and celebrate Coach Travis:
Trav graduated from Vicksburg High School in 2010 and has been coaching in some capacity ever since. From sitting in the dugout cheering on his little brother Hunter Van at his baseball games, to helping his little sister Jessie DeKoning coach JV girls basketball, Trav has always found a way to be involved and support the athletes he loves.
Most importantly, Trav has spent countless hours helping coach Bulldog football alongside his dad, Roger Van.
For Trav, being part of Vicksburg athletics has never been just about the game. He has been there to cheer, encourage, celebrate, and support generations of Bulldog athletes.
Trav is truly Vicksburg's biggest fan. His enthusiasm, loyalty, and love for the Bulldogs have made an impact on countless athletes, coaches, families, and friends throughout his years at VHS. His presence on the sidelines has become a familiar and special part of Friday nights.
As Trav prepares to retire from coaching, we want to celebrate not only all the years he has given to Vicksburg athletics, but the memories, relationships, and lasting impact he leaves behind.
Thank you, Coach Trav, for giving so much of your heart to the Bulldogs. We are so proud of you and so grateful for every game, every season, and every memory.
Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. ❤️ 🖤🐾
