Fenton honored as Coach-of-Week

Los Alamitos High School Head Football Coach, Ray Fenton, receives a $1,000 check from Griffin alum and former NFL star, Antoine Cason, prior to Thursday’s football game between Los Alamitos and Banning high schools. Los Al Song and Cheer teams along with the marching band joined in the celebration.

The Los Angeles Chargers have partnered with the National Football League for the past twenty years in recognizing local high school coaches. Annually, this program recognizes football coaches who have made a difference in the lives of their players through leadership, hard work and a special dedication to their student athletes.

The “High School Coach of the Week” program honored Los Al’s own, Coach Ray Fenton, during a pregame ceremony on Thursday, prior to the Los Alamitos vs. Banning game. The Chargers presented a check in the amount of $1,000 to the Griffin football program. What made the presentation more meaningful was having Antoine Cason make the presentation to Coach Fenton. Mr. Cason is a 2004 graduate from Los Alamitos High School. He went on to play for the Chargers and other teams over a seven-year NFL career.
