<\/a>After being head coach for six\nseasons, Mr. Brandon Sanders has stepped down; Mr. Jacob Allen is now Pueblo\u2019s\nhead football coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanders became inspired to become a coach after his own coach at the University of Arizona, legendary Mr. Dick Tomey, who guided him and, in a sense, groomed him to be a great leader himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wanted to see if I could\nactually do it [coaching high school students],\u201d said Sanders. \u201cIt would\u2019ve\nbeen another challenge for me to have success.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanders is not leaving the position without a legacy. He led the Warriors football team to a 41-22 record over the past six years; he hopes that he provided a foundation for a lasting successful football team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis [past] season was great,\u201d\nSanders said. \u201cI think I was able to grow along with the program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanders added that his moments as a\nhead coach was fun, and he hopes that his ethics taught his high school\nstudents respect and to \u201cgrow\u201d their love of football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the school year, Sanders will commit to becoming a defensive back coach for the Tucson Sugar Skulls in the Indoor Football League. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCoaching is my purpose in life,\nand I am proud and grateful for the experiences at Pueblo,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
