Anacoco High School is proud to announce the return of Coach Jason Tinsley as Head Coach of the Boys’ Basketball team. A familiar face in the community, Coach Tinsley previously led the Indians from 2022 to 2024, guiding the program to new heights with two Vernon Parish Tournament championships, two District 4-B titles, and back-to-back appearances in the Division V Non-Select state finals. His teams compiled an impressive 73–14 record during that span.
With over 30 years of coaching and teaching experience—including more than 25 at the collegiate level—Coach Tinsley brings a wealth of leadership and expertise to the court. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and a Master’s in Sport Administration, both from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches.
Coach Tinsley is married to Sonia Tinsley, Chair of the Exercise Science Department at Louisiana Christian University. Their son, Landon, will be a freshman at Anacoco High School this fall.
The Anacoco community is excited to welcome Coach Tinsley back to the sidelines, confident that his experience, dedication, and winning record will continue to elevate the boys’ basketball program and inspire student-athletes to reach their full potential.
