(Rancho Cucamonga) – Brian Zavala, long time area coach, has been named Defensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach at Rancho Cucamonga.
Zavala, who was the DC at Colony last season, has also served as DC at Northview and Montebello and as the head coach at Wilson.
Zavala will work with new HC Mark Verti who was just hired this week this week replacing Nick Baiz.
Good. 😉
Did Zavala’s defense hold down D1 RB from Lugo in a game they weren’t supposed to win?
When he’s had guys to work with he’s done a pretty good job. Gave up only 120 points last season at Montebello in 13 games 7 to semi finalist 4 divisions higher StPaul, Quarterfinalist Covina allowed 10 and 7 to Schurr. He’s gonna have the guys he need at Rancho and he’s gonna coach up some shut outs.
Medina confirmed DC for El Rancho
@Rochester?
You sound stupid…. When is the last time you’ve coached ? You don’t get those positions by chance. A lot of hard work came into play. I’ve never heard one player he’s ever coached talk bad about him. Get over yourself. Jealousy will make you say stupid things..If he gets fired then so be it. But he will still be able to teach and that’s something you can’t take away. So at the end of day, go back to your Uber job and make ends meet… clown status!!
I know who you are coacher lol
Haters gonna hate!
How many shutouts have you coached.
Zavala’s ego will get the best of him as always. Like being called “Assistant Head Coach.” Does that title come with more money or is it just another ego play? He’s more known for his hot air than coaching abilities. When’s the last time his defense shut down a team they weren’t expected to beat? Upland scores at least 50, and they won’t be the only team either. Two years and fired!
Good for Coach Z!!
You people can say whatever you want. Coach Z is a quality Coach at any school. Rancho got it right with this guy. Good luck to you Coach!
To which of Lavar’s puppets are you referring…the ones who had to go 12,000 miles to get playing time, or the puppet playing for the Lakers? The way Lavar controls his sons, you’d think the 13th amendment never passed, because the kids are told from sun-up to sun-down how to live. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that Lonzo’s Laker money goes into a family trust fund of some sort; the situation is that insane. Which of the readers out there would want their father to butt into their lives this way? And when did Lavar’s daddy finally let LAVAR become his own man?
Your kids don’t sound too tough if your questioning Zavala’s character And someone like that wouldn’t last. He’s a high energy coach.
@Question: Say what you will about Mr. Ball dummy, but his teenagers make more cash in a year than you will make in your lifetime. How’s your Uber gig going for you? Pick me up at 12:00 am dummy.
@ ?, where do you reside??? What area do you n your kids live.
Heard it’s Salazar
Nobody emerges from high school with more than minimum wage readiness, so just how much “scholastic growth” could possibly be going on WHEREVER you send your kids? If the deal is that these kids are super-jocks, future NFL legends, and the local schools just can’t do them right, check Lithuania for better options.
Any word on if Fullerton has hired a new coach ?
That’s right Peterson because last year the new bp coach decided to a U-Turn and reject El Monte
I hear Bogan is a great coach and a gentlemen. I have heard the opposite about Zavala. My sons will get plenty of playing time at any high school. That is not my concern. Wins and losses are important but a good environment for maturing and growing scholastically are better. We have a few months to decide and to find out if we can even get into Bonita. Not sure how getting into a public program where you do not live works.

I hate to say it; but if you don’t have a football coach by now, you are in trouble. The schools that don’t have a coach are not well run districts.
Speaking of defensive coordinators, what is happening with Ray Medina? Heard he’s going to El Rancho and then I heard he wasn’t. Will he stay with Bogan? Don’t care what recent Bonita fans say, he’s one of the best out there.
? Send them there. Ur kids wouldn’t play at rancho anyway. Rancho is a different level than bonita.
Verdi is a solid coach. And Zavala is a solid DC. Tough guy who knows football.
Bonita is its own mess. Bogan will be gone in a couple years anyway.
Cuz Bonita is doing so much better right now… lol
Baldwin Park has a coach
From T. Peterson: Yeah I know but I’m told to not post it until it’s official. It’s practically old news now.
You could take Monrovia off that list sgv
From T. Peterson: See comment above.
Monrovia,Pomona and Baldwin Park still without Football teachers. Spring is here and kids will be leaving for schools with programs.
So are they saying Zavala was hired to be head coach, assistant to the head coach, DC, co head coach. RC making a mess with this hire. My boys going to Bonita I guess.
Zavala’s future is so bright, he needs to wear shades. The Ball brothers will be glad to help.
He’ll get exposed
