Buena Park Football Coach Saiz Resigns

Manny Saiz, Buena Park’s football coach for the past four seasons, resigned Tuesday for personal reasons, Athletic Director Dan Hirsch said.

Saiz, 32, compiled a 12-8 league record and led the Coyotes to the first round of the playoffs in three of his four seasons.

“His dedication will be missed,” Hirsch said. “He did a lot of work in the weight room and did a lot of fund-raising and was hard-working in his four years. We wish him luck.”
