Keith Richardson has interim label removed at Pomona High

Keith Richardson is expected to be named head football coach at Pomona High School. The move will be finalized at the board meeting on March 5, Pomona Athletic Director Albert Abdou said.

“It’s the right thing. He deserved that,” Abdou said.

Richardson had been serving as defensive coordinator but took over the reigns when previous coach Aaron Jamieson was put on administrative leave the day before the first playoff game.

When Jamieson was ushered out the players were polled to see who they wanted to lead them the rest of the way and Richardson was the choice.

He led the Red Devils all the way to the Mid-Valley Division championship and was later named that division’s CIF Coach of the Year.

“It’s nice to know I have their trust,” he said. “We’re going to try and keep it going and build on what we did last year.

Richardson said he expects little to change. He is keeping the same staff, which includes Leonard Hudson as offensive coordinator.

The Red Devils are graduating some key players but have several good ones coming back including junior quarterback Darreon Lockett.
