Our Team
Matt Gaston - President
Matt Gaston, president of Sharpstown High School’s 1977 graduating class and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) chapter, was a two-year varsity football regular for Coach Bobby Plummer and also lettered in track and field. Matt knew Coach as an usher and children's Sunday School teacher at Gethsemane United Methodist Church in Sharpstown before he knew him as his coach.
Matt earned an economics degree at Harvard and managed several small businesses before enrolling in the Masters of Divinity program at SMU’s Perkins School of Theology, where he met wife and future pastor Cammy. She retired in 2024 after serving the UMC in ministry and conference-wide administrative leadership over a 35-year career.
Today, Matt is in his ninth year as lead pastor at First United Methodist Church Plano. He has served the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church as a pastor at University Park UMC, FUMC Denton, Flower Mound UMC, Life Center (DeSoto), and FUMC Allen.
Matt enjoys reading, working out, home projects, travel, golf, and University of Oklahoma football.
He and Cammy have an adult son, Blaine, and a rescue golden retriever, Shasta.
Matt Rogers - Vice President
Bobby Plummer launched Matt Rogers into a 40 year sports career by putting him to work in the high school equipment room a half-century ago.
After SHS graduation in 1977, Matt matriculated at the University of Houston. As a student, the journalism major gained experience in the Cougar sports information office during the Cotton Bowl and Phi Slama Jama eras. He was the primary PR contact for UH baseball from 1979-82.
Matt then spent two years as an assistant in the Baylor sports information operation before managing the sports publicity office at Sam Houston for three years. In 1989, he accepted the lead athletic media relations position at Georgia Southern University, where the Eagles captured consecutive NCAA I-AA (FCS) national football championships in 1989 and 1990; the baseball team qualified for the 1990 Division I College World Series.
Matt transitioned to a 20-year career in professional baseball by joining the ticket services department of the Houston Astros in 1998. From 2006-17, he was director of communications for the Corpus Christi Hooks, Houston’s Double-A affiliate.
Between 2019-21, Matt spearheaded 361 HS Blast, a website/news service covering 15 Coastal Bend Class 4A and 5A football and baseball programs. These days, he occasionally volunteers at SHS and coaches youth at summer camps for Houston-based Armored Sports.
Members of Sugar Creek Baptist Church, Matt and wife Jana have been married for 43 years. They have two adult children, Jill and Timothy, and two grandsons.
Elizabeth Plummer - Treasurer
Elizabeth is a proud 1980 Sharpstown High School graduate, with great memories of her time there. Dad introduced her to football at a young age, and she’s always loved it.
“Our mom took us to every game, starting in fourth grade. I’ve seen a lot of SHS football and remember a lot of the players from over the years.”
Elizabeth currently teaches tax courses at TCU, her father’s alma mater. She’s either studied or worked at six different universities, but when she arrived at TCU, her dad said that she finally landed at a good school.
Elizabeth joined the TCU faculty in 2007 and enjoyed going to Horned Frog games with her father. The 2011 Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin was a definite highlight, as was the 2016 Alamo Bowl, when TCU came back from a 31-0 halftime deficit to beat Oregon 47-41 in three overtimes. But perhaps the most memorable was the 2023 College Football National Championship Game, a rout of the Frogs by Georgia in Los Angeles.
“We flew out on a TCU charter that morning and back the same night,” Elizabeth recalled. “And while it was miserable – the rain, the cold, the game, the score – it also made for some great stories and eye-rolling memories.”
Elizabeth and her husband, Steve, live in Fort Worth, about a mile from TCU. They love where they live and hope to never move.
Christie Dorman - Secretary
Christie Dorman, Coach Plummer’s youngest daughter, graduated from Sharpstown High School in 1997. Like her older sisters, Christie was on the Apollo Queens drill team, where she served as Archon for 2 years.
Christie graduated with a degree in elementary education from Liberty University and has 20 years of children’s ministry experience. While husband Lee was serving in the Air Force, she worked at Navarre (Florida) United Methodist Church and Solano Valley Church in Fairfield, California. Christie transitioned from Denton’s Gracepointe Church to a fourth-grade and electives (Literature/STEAM/Science) teaching position at Coram Deo Academy last fall. She also coaches the Lions junior high cheer squad.
Christie enjoys baking sour dough bread, listening to The Bible Project, reading, and attending her sons’ athletic events.
Christie and Lee, a Social Studies teacher and golf coach at Frisco High School, have been married for 25 years. They attend The Village Church in Flower Mound and are the parents of five children ranging in age from 10 to 24.
