Justin Begnoche

Coach Begnoche (“B”) has been in education for over 10 years and coached cross country for almost all of them. He graduated from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK with a B.A. in Biblical Literature where he also focused on outdoor education and leadership development for middle school and high school students. After moving back to Texas, he obtained his M.S.Ed in Sport Pedagogy from Baylor University in Waco.  Initially certified to teach physical education, Coach B quickly discovered a deeper purpose for mathematics so he could teach in a joyful environment where students could discover previously unknown potential and passion as well. Coach B has lived in the Cypress area since 2019 with his wife Katie and their two chocolate labs: Liam and Mila.

Coaching cross country and track are truly some of his favorite times of the year where he works with a special group of young men and women who share the desire to compete early each morning against themselves and others. Running with the middle and high school teams is an absolute joy each week so athletes get to experience the peace and tranquility that God brings through this difficult yet wonderful sport. Our journeys of faith are much like the weekly long runs, each step in the right direction, however small, brings us closer to the truth in 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
