Tony Guerrero

**Inducted: 2022**
**Tony Guerrero**
**Hometown: Mission, Texas**
**High School: Mission High School**
**College: The University of Texas at San Antonio**
**Best known for: Officiating**

Tony Guerrero’s life has been one of service. A graduate of Mission High in 1972, Guerrero has spent nearly his entire adult life officiating sports.
He took to officiating early by calling flag football and other intramural sports while a student at The University of Texas at San Antonio. In 1986, he moved back to the Valley and began calling games for Boys Clubs in Weslaco and Harlingen. Friends convinced him to join the Southwest Football Officials Association, the precursor to today’s Texas Association of Sports Officials (TASO), in 1987.
During his career in the striped shirt, he has officiated over 1,000 football games over a 34-year career. Included in that total are 17 UIL state playoff games, 11 Mexican collegiate games, and five RGV All-Star Games. Other accomplishments include serving as Site Director for the Texas 7-on-7 State Qualifying Tournament and working closely with 7-on-7 tournaments in Mission and Weslaco.
When Arena Football League 2 came to the Valley, Guerrero served as the Compliance Officer for six years. He also worked for the NFL (2008-18) by scouting NCAA Division I officials. His information helped the league select new officials from the college ranks.
In Mission, he has served as Chairman of the Advisory Board for Mission Parks and Recreation for 18 years, 12 as Chairman.
He plans to retire from officiating after the 2022 football season. Guerrero is the son of Coach Oton “Tony” Guerrero, a member of the RGV Sports Hall of Fame (Class of 1995).
