Carrizales coached CHS teams to four bi-district championships, three area championships and three regional quarterfinals. In 2019, Carrizales won his 100th game as head coach.

"We are excited to see him build upon the success of our baseball program," Superintendent Corey Hickerson said. "Coach Carrizales is a proven winner and dedicated to developing leaders both on and off the field of play."

After graduating from Crowley High in 2002, Carrizales attended McMurry University and played for the baseball team. Carrizales flourished at the collegiate level and set numerous records for the War Hawks. 

He is tied for the most games played at 179. Carrizales also has the most career at-bats (675), hits (252), doubles (56), triples (16) and defensive assists in one game (11) in program history. He is also one of three players to hit for the cycle at McMurry.
