Football: Lance Fauria is named head coach at Taft

Taft wasted no time in hiring Lance Fauria as its football coach.

He replaces Nate Turner, who was the coach for one season, then resigned to join L.A. Southwest College.

Fauria, a former Crespi tight end, has head coaching experience and last coached at Cathedral as defensive coordinator.

“We are extremely excited,” Athletic Director Mark Drucker said.
