The legendary De La Salle head coach has stepped down, and we revisit some of our best photos of him.
MaxPreps photographers have had the opportunity to photograph legendary De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) head coach Bob Ladouceur many times since 2004. Here are some of those photos, with the final ones from the Spartans' victory over Centennial in the CIF State Open Division Bowl Game, Dec. 15 at the Home Depot Center in Carson.
