(San Dimas) – Mark Holman has resigned as the head football coach at San Dimas after 11 years he confirmed Friday.
The Saints went 7-6 last season and advanced to the CIF Division 9 Semi-Finals before falling to Valley Christian. In the first round the Saints rallied from a 22-0 deficit to beat Rowland 24-22. They beat Poly 28-8 in the second round before the loss to Valley Christian.
San Dimas qualified for the playoffs every year under Holman. In 2015, Holman’s first season, the Saints went 10-4 overall and played Sierra Canyon in the Mid Valley Division championship game but they came up short 20-0.
San Dimas won or tied for the Valle Vista League title three times during Holman’s tenure – in 2017, 2019 and 2023. In 2019 San Dimas went 11-2 overall, including 5-0 in the Valle Vista League. The Saints only losses that year were to Bonita and North in the CIF Semi-Finals.
Holman who took over for Bill Zernickow prior to the 2025 campaign, complied an overall record of 87-40, including 11-11 in the post season.
San Dimas now begins the search for a new head coach.
Holman said personal and family reasons led to his decision.
