Former All-County Linebacker to Coach Football at Orange

Kevin Capps has been named football coach at Orange High, Athletic Director Dave Zirkle said Wednesday.

Capps, 28, was a two-time all-county linebacker at La Habra who also played at Fullerton College and Sonoma State. He was an assistant coach at Sonoma State the last three years, but the school canceled its football program after last season. Capps will teach physical education at Orange.

Zirkle said he is quitting as girls’ tennis coach to spend more time with his new football staff. Zirkle also announced that softball and girls’ soccer Coach Rocky Parker is resigning for personal reasons and Michael Seltzer, boys’ and girls’ water polo coach and assistant swimming coach, is leaving to take a teaching job with the Anaheim Union High School District.
