Coach Larry Kanow and the entire volleyball coaching staff have resigned from their coaching positions today in support of volleyball Coach Chris Kwan whose contract was not renewed for the next school year. San Gabriel girls volleyball has won 33 Almont League championships in Kanow’s 36 years of coaching. Kanow was named the 2015 Pasadena Star-News’ Coach of the Year and in 2011, Kwan earned the same honor. Kwan has been with the Matador volleyball program for close to thirty years, as a player and a coach. The volleyball coaches will finish out the season. Although Kanow is resigning from his coaching position, he will still remain a science teacher in San Gabriel.
