School officials still not explaining why Los Altos baseball coach Hector Gutierrez is no longer with the team

Los Altos High School baseball coach Hector Gutierrez is no longer with the team, sources confirmed. It is not clear whether Gutierrez was fired or resigned with the team 4-4 overall and 1-1 in the early stages of Hacienda League action. Under Gutierrez last year, the Conquerors finished 12-14-1 and lost in the first round of the CIF-SS Playoffs. Gutierrez was hired in the summer of 2014 to take over for Andrew Formano, who is now the school’s athletic director. I sent an email to the principal, athletic director and athletic secretary trying to find out why he is no longer the baseball coach, but none of the school officials have reached back to explain, or announce who the interim coach is, though we’ve heard through sources it’s Sean Kane. What a strange situation. And now there is a petition floating around asking for signatures to get Gutierrez’s job back. What’s going on at L.A.?

Diamond Ranch fires football coach Jimmy Welker, no explanation given

By Aram Tolegian
Add Diamond Ranch High School to the concerning list of area football programs without a head coach for the upcoming season. The school announced last Friday that it had parted with Jimmy Welker after just one season. The Panthers’ previous head coach, Mario Gomez, also lasted only one season. Diamond Ranch now joins Baldwin Park, Bonita, El Monte, Monrovia and Wilson in having coaching vacancies with spring practice right around the corner. The Panthers went 7-4 last season and lost to eventual Central Division champion San Marino in the first round despite giving the Titans one of the better games they had all season.
Welker declined to discuss specifics of the situation, as did Diamond Ranch officials, but said he will finish out the year there as a teacher before moving on. He’s hopeful for a quick return to coaching.
“It’s disappointing, but things happen for a reason,” Welker said. “I am a football coach and my goal is to coach again. I’m not hanging it up. I need to look at what’s out there.
“I’m just worried about putting food on the table for my family at this point.”
