Coach Ramirez
I graduated from AHS in 1982. Upon graduation I was employed by Phelps Dodge. After the closure of the smelter I began my career in Law Enforcement. I worked for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety for two years and then transferred to work for the US Department of Transportation. I am currently stationed in Douglas, Arizona and oversee two Ports of Entry, one in Naco, AZ and one in Douglas. My job allows me to still live in Animas, which I am grateful for.
I am married to my beautiful wife Carrie and have three wonderful children. Zack (the oldest) is attending college at NMSU, Bianca who is a senior at AHS and Patrick who is a sophomore. On July 9th 2007, I became a proud grandparent of a beautiful baby girl. Our granddaughter’s name is Bryauna.
I have been coaching since the summer of 1984. I have coached youth soccer, little league baseball and of course HOYAS basketball. In 2003, I was given the opportunity to coach at a higher level. I have been the assistant Varsity High School Football and Basketball coach for the past five years. It is a position that I cherish, for it has allowed me to accomplish one of my personal goals.
I am very thankful for the opportunity to be able to coach at my Alma Mater, where I truly believe is where the best student athletes attend. Go Panthers.

Coach
Laborin is in his fifth year of coaching high school athletics. He started
five years ago in Douglas, AZ as the Varsity assistant for the high school
football team. He would spend the next two seasons at DHS coaching football
and mid school basketball. Coach Laborin then moved back to NM where he received
a teaching/coaching position with the Gadsden School District in Anthony,
NM. At GHS Laborin began his career as a Special Education Teacher, he also
was coaching varsity football as an assistant. After a year at GHS Laborin
moved to Socorro, NM where he would spent the next year coaching football
at the varsity level with an old college teammate. Coach Laborin then received
an opportunity that he never thought would come up, the head football job
at his old high school. So with only being in Socorro for a
year Laborin decided to make the move back to his roots.
Laborin is excited for the opportunity to come back Animas and is planning
to make a long career out of it.
