(Monrovia) – Monrovia Defensive Coordinator Ted Clarke stepped down from his coaching position Sunday for personal reasons. The resignation is effective immediately.
“I resigned today from the Monrovia staff for personal reasons. I enjoyed working with the incredible young men at Monrovia and wish them well,” Clarke said.
Clarke has had several area coaching stops over the years including the Head Coach at San Dimas early this decade. This was Clarke’s first year on the Monrovia staff.
The Wildcats are 1-2 this year and are coming off a 35-34 loss to San Dimas last Friday night. Next up for Monrovia is a date with South Hills Thursday night at Covina District Field.
The position is expected to be filled within the staff.
Update:
Coach Clarke’s wife was diagnosed wth cancer earlier this summer and she is currently going through treatment. He has stepped down to be with her and support her during this time. Between spending time with his two teenage children and caring for his wife it was necessary for him to resign from his duties as defensive coordinator on the Monrovia staff.
“She has always supported me through out my career. I need to do this for her and supoport her during this time,” Clarke said.
