Coach's corner

Mustangs Family, 

Last season, we won our first playoff game in 27 years. We fought our way to the quarterfinals and showed the heart, discipline, and culture that define Costa Mesa Football. I couldn’t be prouder of the way we battled every week and represented our school and community. But as we look back, we know one thing: we have unfinished business! 

This program isn’t satisfied with just making a playoff run. Our goal is clear: Win the Tango League title and compete for a CIF championship. Every rep in the weight room, every sprint, every meeting — it all adds up. Championships aren’t just won on Friday nights. They’re earned every day, through commitment, sacrifice, and brotherhood. 

To the players, your dedication inspires me. To the parents and supporters, your belief fuels us. And to my family, thank you. To my wife Jackie, thank you for being my rock and allowing me to do what I love with everything I have. To my kids, Remi and Shane, you are my reason, and every time I step on the field, I do it with you in my heart. 

The standard is set. The mission is clear.  The Mustangs can’t wait for Friday night!  

-Coach Gonzalez
