Royse City ISD hires Coach Williamson to lead girls basketball
Royse City ISD tapped Coach Williamson to steer girls basketball as the district’s only high school grows into a bigger UIL Class AAAAAA stage.
Royse City ISD has hired Coach Williamson to lead girls basketball at Royse City High School, giving the program a new leader as the district’s only high school continues to grow into a more demanding UIL Class AAAAAA landscape. The move sets the tone for a team that already proved it could compete in Rockwall County and now faces higher expectations as enrollment climbs.
Royse City High School listed 2,526 students in 2023-24, a size that puts the girls program in a 6A setting at the district’s lone high school. The district had already posted a Head Girls Basketball Coach/Teacher opening for Royse City High School on April 7, 2026, showing the search was active before the hire was announced. Royse City ISD Athletics also maintains a dedicated girls basketball page with a handbook, visiting team guide and staff section, signs of a program with the structure to support the next step.
The hire lands in a department led on the boys side by Andrew Colvin, who is listed as Boys Athletic Coordinator and Head Football Coach. That broader athletics structure matters for a program like girls basketball, where consistency from the varsity level down can shape everything from offseason planning to the flow of players into future teams. With Royse City High School also listing girls basketball among its many sports, Williamson steps into a school-wide athletics setup built to serve a growing student body.
The on-court results show why the job carries real expectations. Royse City’s girls basketball team beat Rockwall-Heath 56-18 at home on Jan. 30, 2026, a strong win against a familiar Rockwall County opponent. That kind of result gives Williamson a starting point, but it also raises the bar: Royse City ISD is no longer coaching in the shadow of smaller-school assumptions. It is managing a larger enrollment, a bigger district profile and a girls basketball program that will be judged on how well it turns growth into wins.
For families and fans around Royse City, the next chapter will be about direction as much as records. Williamson inherits a program with a visible district presence, a competitive recent result and the kind of enrollment base that can support deeper teams, better feeder development and more pressure to deliver in a bigger classification.
