Sonora Football Coach Allen Resigns

Larry Allen, Sonora High School football coach, announced Monday that he will resign his position for personal reasons.

Allen, who resigned after a 2-8 season in which the Raiders failed to win a Freeway League game, had difficulty getting athletes and walk-on coaches to participate in the football program. He becomes the fourth football coach to resign at Sonora in the past seven years.

Allen, 32, who compiled a 3-17 record in two seasons, said he would remain in the Fullerton Union High School District next year, but would leave Sonora after the school term.
