An accomplished coach in his own right, Goodwin’s last stop as head man at Tri City Christian had been a notable one. At La Puente High, Morales was a standout athlete as both an All-League quarterback and as an All-CIF shortstop. Morales’s coaching career began when he returned to his alma mater La Puente in 2019 as a quarterback coach. But his ties to La Puente High were strong and he returned in 2022 to take over duties as offensive coordinator. For starters, Morales is a high character and humble sort, all about the kids and not into any sort of self-promotion.
