Johnny Walker

LBMS Head Football Coach

I'm Coach Johnny Walker originally from Essex Missouri. My family relocated to the gulf coast 6 years ago and love it here. I love to fish, hunt, and hang out with my wife. I have coached a variety of sports like football, baseball, basketball, and I currently assist in girl's high school softball. I have been assisting with the middle school football program for two years here at Long Beach and look forward to a new challenge this year. I have a simple coaching philosophy that if you teach players the fundamentals, discipline and respect of the sport you will succeed not only in that sport but in life itself. My coaches and I look forward to working with our players and families to further the program. God Bless y'all.

Payton Farlow

LBMS Head Coach: Volleyball, Softball


I have had the privilege to help students unlock their personal potential as athletes and young adults going on year number seven. Within those seven years, I have made four high school state championship appearances as well as clinched one middle school conference championship. As a full-time job as a teacher, I get to touch many lives of students not only in the classroom but also as a softball and volleyball coach. My players educational and athletic experience has unparalleled longevity and I want to be just a small part of making it a positive one.
