The Conquistadores went to the post season both years and also won league titles in each of the two years. in 2023 Don Lugo won the San Antonio League with a 3-0 record and went 5-7 overall. The Conquistadores beat Santa Paula in the first round of the Division 12 playoffs before falling to Coachella Valley in the second round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024 they again won a league championship going 3-0 in the newly formed Gano League and complied a record of 5-6 overall. They lost in the first round to eventual Division 11 Champion Portola 31-20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knight is embarking on a new adventure in a new state but he hasn&#8217;t ruled out coaching. &#8220;I just want to coach football and hopefully coordinate the offense at some point,&#8221; Knight said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Thank you Don Lugo HS, my great coaching staff, CVUSD and the Chino Community for the opportunity to be the HC at Don Lugo the last two seasons. We have improved the program and have changed the culture. I&#8217;m excited for the next chapter with my family as we journey to Texas,&#8221; Knight posted on Twitter (X). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don Lugo will begin the search for a new head coach immediately. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tim Peterson Joshua Knight has stepped down as the head football coach at Don Lugo after two seasons he announced Tuesday.
