Golden Valley Girls Basketball Coach Resigns Unexpectedly

khts_sportsThe Golden Valley girls basketball team is in search of a new coach.

Daniel Veluzat resigned as the head coach of the Golden Valley girls basketball team after the first Foothill League game of the season.

He told The Signal that a “lack of respect” from the players was the reason he resigned. He was the sixth girls basketball coach in seven years at Golden Valley. Golden Valley was 10-7 under Veluzat, but lost to Valencia to open Foothill League play.

Golden Valley athletic director and football coach Robert Fisher is expected to coach the Golden Valley girls on Friday night against West Ranch.

About Connie Jones

Connie and her husband, John, moved to the Santa Clarita Valley almost 30 years ago. Living in Santa Clarita for that long is the direct opposite of Connie’s childhood. She was an Army ‘brat’ who moved every two to three years. Consequently, she has lived in many states and even spent three years in Europe. All three of her kids went to Santa Clarita schools. Connie says the best thing about her job at KHTS is that she is never bored. “If I’m not smiling, Carl is sure to ask why, just before giving me a mind-boggling project.” “KHTS AM-1220 is an integral part of our community and I’m glad to be a part of it. Besides, the DJs will take my request to play Shania Twain’s ‘Still the One’ for my wedding anniversary – gotta love that!”
