Bruce Harper photo New Bobcat Athletic Director John Livas (second from left) is welcomed by three members of the community committee (from left, Daniel Naranjo, Bucky Haws and Carroll Lohse) who helped select him with the help of administrative staff and S-TISD Superintendent Dr. Brett Belmarez (second from right). Committee member Beth Gonzales was unable to attend Tuesday night’s board meeting where Livas was recommended, and the trustees subsequently unanimously hired him. Livas will begin work as the Bobcats’ new AD on Thursday.
