    Buena Park has named alumnus Mauricio Carmona as its new football coach, the school recently announced.

    Carmona, 33, will be a first-time head coach in the fall after serving last season an an offensive line coach and the head frosh-soph coach.

    He has been the Coyotes’ frosh-soph coach the past three seasons and brings 14 years of coaching experience to the post.

    Carmona also works as an instructional aid at Buena Park. He graduated from the school in 2010.

    “I’m just excited about the opportunity,” said Carmona, who was a two-way lineman for Buena Park after starting his high school career at Sunny Hills. “I just want to bring the culture back. I want to bring structure.”

    “Football imitates life in a lot of ways,” he added. “I’m able to relate to the kids.”

    Carmona replaces David Prieto as Buena Park’s coach. The school and Prieto agreed to mutually part ways after four seasons.

    Carmona counts Prieto, former Buena Park coaches Anthony White and Rob Ryan and former Godinez coach Tom Heathington as coaching mentors.

    Carmona served as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator for the frosh-soph at Godinez.

    Last season, Buena Park finished 4-6 overall, 2-3 in Omicron league and missed the playoffs.
