(Sent on behalf of Ian Johnson) As a Saratoga High School student and varsity football player, I have had the privilege of playing under the guidance of Coach Matos for two years. His leadership has not only shaped us into better players but also instilled in us values such as integrity and teamwork. He inspires our football team to compete at the highest level, and his dismissal is a loss to our school community.

Coach Matos' contribution to Saratoga Football is immeasurable. Under his coaching, we've seen significant improvements in our performance on the field. His dedication towards building character in his players is equally commendable.

Reinstating Coach Matos would not only benefit the team but also uphold the spirit of sportsmanship that he has worked so hard to cultivate within us. We urge you to reconsider this decision and bring back a coach who truly cares about his students' growth both on and off the field.

Please sign this petition if you believe in fair play, integrity, teamwork, and most importantly - if you believe in giving credit where it's due. Let's bring back Coach Matos!
