End of a Guerra
La Mirada High School girls soccer coach Dennis Guerra checked in this afternoon to announce his resignation from the program.Guerra is coming off a spectacular year in which he guided the unranked and unseeded Matadores (18-8-6) to a CIF-SS Division III co-championship after the Mats posted a stunning 1-1 tie with powerhouse Mayfair.
The title was the first in La Mirada girls soccer history and helped Guerra garner All LA84 Division III Co-coach of the Year & WDN Coach of the Year honors. Don't forget, the Mats had to pull off three straight upsets just to get to the championship game.
Guerra, who also teaches history and is chairman of the shared decision-making team at LM, confirmed that he has informed his team that he is leaving the school at the end of the semester.
The Brea-resident is taking over as "Director of Soccer" for the newly formed Crean Lutheran South School in Irvine, where he will be in charge of the boys and girls soccer programs.
Good Luck Coach.
This doesn't change La Mirada's 08-09 season, they are the favorites in the area and will win another championship. If WDN doesn't give them their #1 area ranking to match their CIF ranking next year, it would be a big mistake. La Serna drops due to grads and no one else has more returning.
