Wheeler Resigns at La Canada


Long time La Canada football coach Rich Wheeler has resigned.

Wheeler’s twelve years with Spartan program are marked with a pair Rio Hondo League titles in 2000 and 2004. His overall record was 67-61-5. His last great season was in 2005 when La Canada finished 9-3 overall and reached the second round of the playoffs.
