The Cuero Record
A Yoakum Bulldog by his upbringing, Michael Blank is now a Cuero Gobbler. It was in Yoakum where Blank developed his drive to lead young athletes. His father helped to instill that passion within him. He played all sports under his father who was a coach there for 30-plus years.
“My father was always my inspiration to become a coach,” Blank said. “I watched him do it for years and was so impressed of the things he accomplished. He is in the top-10 of all-time wins in the TABC (Texas Association of Basketball Coaches) coaches association.”
Blank already had connections to Cuero before coming here to coach. His wife, Mendy Murray, is from here. Together, they have two children, Jaedyn (11) and Camden (9).
Four years of college basketball at Concordia University awaited Blank after graduating from Yoakum High School. He then returned to Yoakum to begin his coaching career, before going to Needville, Strake Jesuit and most recently, Victoria-St. Joseph.
In Needville, Blank served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for football, while also leading the defense at 6A Strake Jesuit in the Katy district. Two years ago, he moved back home and joined St. Joseph’s staff as defensive coordinator and head basketball coach.
