Holy Trinity Diocesan High School, a Catholic institution that blends faith, academics and student safety, announced that its football program will be suspended for the entire 2026 season. The decision comes after the sudden resignation of newly appointed head coach Cain Mack, whose tenure was seen as a pivotal moment for the program.
School officials explained that the pause is intended to safeguard the long‑term health of the athletic department and to redirect attention toward holistic student development. In its place, the school will continue to offer football‑specific strength and conditioning sessions throughout the fall, ensuring that interested athletes remain engaged.
A Strategic Pause for Future Success
Looking ahead, Holy Trinity plans to reinstate a junior varsity squad in 2027 and a full varsity team in 2028. Administrators say the staggered return will allow the school to rebuild a competitive program while also investing in other extracurricular and academic initiatives that align with its mission.
The decision reflects a broader financial commitment as well. The school has poured more than $100,000 from alumni donations and internal funds into its athletic facilities, underscoring a belief that a sustainable football program can coexist with a well‑rounded educational experience.

The school's Assistant Principal for Community Outreach, Mr. Scannapieco, is also available for broader outreach concerns.
