Cedar Creek School is proud to announce the hiring of Todd Martinez as the new head coach of the boys’ basketball program.
Coach Martinez joins Cedar Creek from West Ouachita High School, where he served as head basketball coach. He brings with him over 25 years of coaching experience and a long track record of developing competitive programs while building strong character in student-athletes.
Prior to West Ouachita, Martinez served as head coach at Benton High School, where he led the Tigers to a 19-8 record and their first playoff appearance in nearly two decades. His earlier tenure at Captain Shreve High School spanned two decades, where he guided the team to multiple district titles and earned accolades including Shreveport Times All-City Coach of the Year and District 1-5A Coach of the Year in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
In addition to his work on the court, Coach Martinez has made a significant impact through his involvement with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). He co-founded the FCA Coaches Care Basketball Camp, which grew from 68 to over 900 campers in just three years — a testament to his passion for combining athletics and faith to uplift young lives.
Coach Martinez has also held multiple leadership roles in the Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches Association, including President, Vice President, and Secretary, demonstrating his commitment to the broader coaching community in Louisiana.
He holds a B.S. in Health and Exercise Science from Centenary College and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Capella University.
Cedar Creek is excited to welcome Coach Martinez and looks forward to the future of Cougar basketball under his leadership.
