Tussle with student lands Don Lugo coach on leave
Don Lugo head football coach Rick Martin was placed on administrative leave after a non-football related tussle with a student in physical education class on Oct. 20, multiple sources confirmed to the Daily Bulletin.
Assistant coach Ernie Vasquez is the interim coach, according to Chino Valley Unified School District director of communication Julie Gobin. Vasquez took over prior to the Conquistadores' 31-9 victory over Ontario on Oct. 21. It is unknown when or if Martin will return to the Don Lugo sidelines or to his teaching job at the school.

Clay Fowler has been covering high school sports for six years in California and Texas. He was born in Dallas, attended the University of Texas and worked in Central Texas before joining the Daily Bulletin staff in 2006.



Are there any updates regarding Coach Martin's status with the school? I noticed they made the CIF playoffs and wanted to know if he will be involved with the team.
Thanks.
