Bishop Union High School girls varsity soccer coach Manny Terraza issued this letter:

Dear friends, families, community and supporters:

I would like to say that I am very sorry for what has happened to the girls varsity soccer team. There were some poor decisions made by some of my players. This is a life lesson, unfortunately, but must be learned.

The school had to do the right thing. I wish none of it happened but now we have to live with it. I had no control in what happened and I hope people understand that. I’m very disappointed and sad for what has happened. I  hope we can overcome this and be stronger. I will always do my best to get these girls to strive for the top in football and in life.

Thank you for all of the support this season.  It was a season to dream about but killed by a nightmare.

Thank you
Manny Terraza
