Looks like Ortega is new Onate coach

According to a sound source, it appears former Sandia High School Adrian Ortega has been named the new boys basketball coach at Onate High School, replacing Richard Robinson.

It appears all that needs to be done is some administrative work and Ortega could be officially announced as soon as Monday.

And the ones who get set up by other coaches in the district,and get no backing from their own administrators.

I'm guessing coaches who are winning (Reyes, Covarrubia) aren't having trouble...

Strong athletics will lead to strong academics. As a parent, I don't have a problem with where he's trying to take the school.

I just hope that Coach Ortega understands and buys in to what he's getting into.

Anyway...

Congratulations to Onate and to Coach Ortega.

The north is trying to hire southern football coaches, so here in the south we'll hire northern basketball coaches.

The word is everyone is having trouble, yes, even the winning coaches. You must not be informed. Didn't they just loose an assistant principal to Mayfield?

From someone who works at OHS I say this, look past the PR stuff he has done. Our scores were great the year before he was here. They tanked this last year. I agree some teachers needed to go. However we lost the ones who were smart to get off a sinking ship not the ones who need to go. He has given no programs to further ayp. Don't get caught in the hype read the numbers
