Billy Perkins is in his fifth season leading the Raiders. He joined CCC in 2017 after coaching 19 years in the competitive high school ranks in Texas, 10 as a girls head coach, and amassing over 200 career wins. Perkins spent his final season in the Lone Star State rebuilding the girls program at Iowa Park High School, where he led his young squad to a postseason berth.
Perkins led CCC to its first National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 9 title in school history during the 2019-20 season along with the regular season championship. That same season, forward Monica Brooks was named NJCAA Third Team All-American, the first player in program history to earn All-America honors.
Under his tutelage, seven CCC players have earned All-Region 9 honors and five have earned All-Nebraska Community College Athletic Conference (NCCAC) honors. He has been named NCCAC Coach of the Year twice and Region 9 Coach of the Year once.
Academically, Perkins teams have been solid with nine players earning NJCAA academic honors and a consistent team GPA of 3.0 or higher each year. In 2019-20, the Raiders sported a 100-percent graduation rate.
Perkins obtained his undergraduate degree from West Texas A&M University and a master’s degree from Sul Ross State University.
Perkins and his wife, Celesta, who is the Raiders assistant coach, live in Platte Center and are the parents of four children.
