The Birdville High School Hawk Softball community is grieving the loss of former assistant coach Wade Hopson, a beloved mentor whose influence shaped the program for two decades. Coach Hopson, who served from 2003 until his retirement in 2023, leaves behind a legacy defined not just by victories, but by heart.
Over 20 years, Hopson helped guide Birdville Softball to remarkable success, including a state championship that stands as a highlight of his coaching career. Yet those closest to the program say his true impact can’t be measured in wins and losses. What set Coach Hopson apart was his infectious passion—for the sport, for life, and especially for the student-athletes he coached.
