Orange Lutheran and head football coach JP Presley part ways

Orange Lutheran announced on Wednesday that they have decided to part ways with head football coach JP Presley after four seasons.
Presley was named head coach in December of 2016, and amassed a 17-22 record with the Lancers. He was a longtime OLu assistant coach before becoming the head coach, and remains a popular figure amongst the Orange Lutheran athletic community.
School leadership has prayerfully decided to move in a new strategic direction with the head coach position in the football program. We are grateful to Coach Presley for his dedication and service over the years. Qualified applicants can apply through the school’s website. pic.twitter.com/tjimLyh8Ja
