Pomona Panthers Coach Signs Contract Extension
📍 Pomona Panthers·Friday, July 10, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Pomona High School head football coach, Mike Ortega, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. This move comes on the heels of back-to-back playoff appearances for the 5A Panthers, who finished with a 9-4 record in 2024 and a 10-3 record in 2025. Ortega's extension is expected to provide stability and continuity for the program, which has established itself as a competitive force in the CHSAA 5A classification. The move is also a significant recruiting coup, as it sends a message to potential recruits that the Panthers are committed to long-term success. With Ortega at the helm, the Panthers are poised to make a deep run in the playoffs and contend for a state championship in the coming seasons.
