Donegan Resigns as Madera South's Football Coach 18-57

MADERA - After seven years at the helm of Madera South High School's football program, Coach Scott Donegan has announced he is stepping down. He will remain as a physical education teacher and his successor has not been named.

Donegan was the then new school's first football coach in 2006 after a very successful run at Chowchilla Union High School where his team won the CIF Valley Championship in 2004 and placed second in 2005.

However success did not follow the coach to Madera as in the last seven years Madera South only won 18 of their 75 games. Eleven of those wins came from Donegan's only winning season, 2011, where the Stallions went 11-2.

Donigan's first win as the Stallion's coach came against Madera High School in a 2006 junior varsity game at Ratcliffe Stadium in Fresno. Madera High's varsity team was playing a team from Las Vegas who did not send their JV team on the trip. His first varsity win came two years later against McLane High School.

His best season and also his only winning season was in 2011 where the Stallions went 11-2 and made an appearance in the semi-final, game losing to Ridgeview 42-21. Ridgeview ended up losing the Valley Championship the next week to the Vikings of Kingsburg.

While Scott Donegan was not as successful at Madera South as he had been in Chowchilla, his success wasn't measured on the football field but in the behavior of the players that passed through his program. Donegan taught responsibility and character, he held his players accountable for their actions on and off the field. Something that seems to be missing from far too many other football programs.
