Canon-McMillan Girls Soccer Coach Resigns

Longtime Canon-McMillan High School girls soccer coach Dave Derrico has resigned.  Athletic Director Frank Vulcano Jr. says the resignation was approved by the school board Thursday night. Vulcano says “Dave was a State Champion coach that will be missed by the players and school district. He gave a lot of his time to make our program one of the top girl’s soccer programs in the state”. In his letter, Derrico says “recent events and changes have caused me to examine life’s costs which I have steadfastly borne through the years with the team. After a great deal of soul searching and some heartache, I feel that I cannot serve with the same high level of devotion and personal commitment that I have demonstrated in the past and the level of commitment that the Canon-McMillan players deserve”. Derrico had served as assistant or head coach of the program for more than twenty years.  His resignation is effective immediately.
