At that point Northview was just hoping to put together a couple of wins, finish the season at .500 and call it a respectable season. At least that&#8217;s what everybody thought. Instead the Vikings went on a historic run winning seven of their next eight games including a win over St. Anthony to win the CIF Division 10 Championship and a dramatic comeback victory over Colony in the first round of the 4-A State playoffs. Despite the early adversity, Perez stayed the course and guided his team to a memorable, remarkably successful season. It may not have seemed possible early but by the end of the year there was clearly no other choice. Marcel Perez is the MVS Coach of the Year for 2021. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If someone would have told you back in October that Northview&#8217;s Marcel Perez would be named the Coach of the Year you may have asked them if they had also seen the aliens land at the 50-yard line at Covina District Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12816,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hsfootball","category-high-school-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74813"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74816,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74813\/revisions\/74816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
