Girls Soccer Coach of the Year: David Lovering brings success to Holtville in debut season

Editor’s Note: It was just brought to The Herald’s attention David Lovering, who was named 2019 All-County Girls Soccer Coach of the Year, has a domestic violence harassment charge against him. The Herald is actively looking into the case.

After winning a total of six games in three seasons, Holtville needed to make a change at the helm of its girls soccer program. Despite having no soccer background, coach David Lovering took over the team and pushed the Bulldogs to their largest win total since the team got reinstated in 2009. He is the Elmore County Girls Soccer Coach of the Year.
