The Burnet Bulldogs will have a new head coach leading the boys soccer team on the pitch next season with the announced departure of Head Coach Benjamin Boorman at the end of the 2025-26 school year.
Boorman, who led the Bulldogs to their first bi-district soccer championship win in school history in 2024, told DailyTrib that he would be leaving the program to spend more time with his family and care for his father.
“It is very hard to leave the soccer teams and their families,” Boorman said. “I believe that I am leaving the program better than I found it. We have a championship banner and a golden ball in the trophy case for the first time in school history. We have a growing program with many middle schoolers excited to play soccer. Burnet’s interest in soccer is growing.”
Boorman gave his appreciation to district staff for finding a swift replacement in Aaron Jimenez, who has coached in Marble Falls, Harker Heights, and Florence.
“I am pleased that the promptness of my resigning led to the administration’s ability to find a quality replacement,” Boorman told DailyTrib. “(Jimenez) will do a great job, and I am excited to see the boys maintain the high expectations that we have set for the program under Coach Jimenez’s leadership.”
Boorman said that he will continue to be a part of the Burnet community and support the Bulldogs. He is also currently pursuing a teaching position within BCISD, where his two daughters will be enrolled.
