California high school football coach breaks silence after firing, canceled season

Nearly two months after canceling its 2026 varsity high school football season, Pasadena High School (CA) is moving on from its head coach. Ron Jones announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Nov. 3, that the school informed it was moving in another direction with the football program. Jones led the Bulldogs to their first CIF Southern Section football championship since 1933 just two seasons ago. This morning, Pasadena High informed me that my time as head football coach has come to an end. Thank you to our players, families, coaching staff, and the Pasadena and Altadena communities for your support. My full statement is below. pic.twitter.com/0WNB98dB5K — Ron Jones (@CoachRonJones) November 3, 2026 "This morning, Pasadena High School informed me that my time as a head football coach had come to an end," Jones wrote in a statement. "I want to thank our players and their families, my coaching staff, and the Pasadena community for the honor of leading the Bulldogs." On Sept. 11, Pasadena Unified School District sent an email to the parents of players on the team announcing the high school would forfeit the rest of their varsity schedule, citing concerns about player safety as the reason.

Winless GHS gets playoff surprise

If any prep sports observer sees a football team go 0-10 on the field yet make the playoffs, it would be quite a shock. That was the case with Gardena High. Two days after finishing this season at 0-10 after getting shut out by Wilmington Banning 42-0 in the Panthers’ Marine League finale and homecoming game last Thursday at Los Angeles Harbor College, Gardena received a spot in the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division II playoffs as they open at top seed Jefferson High Friday at 7 p.m. in South L.A. It is quite an unexpected thing as players and coaches thought they would hang up their gear, and, suddenly, they will play, at least, one more game and hope they can upset the Democrats for even more contests.
