Cantwell Sacred Heart Of Mary (Calif.) is just a couple years removed from seeing success from their high school football program and on Wednesday made a move to return to winning ways.

The school announced the hiring of Daniel Fierro as the football program’s next head football coach. Fierro will look to turn around a Cardinals football team that’s won a total of four games in the last two seasons.

“I am truly honored and grateful to step into the role of Head Football Coach at Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School,” Fierro said in a statement. “From the moment I began this process, it was clear that this is a special place — not just because of the tradition and pride surrounding the school, but because of the people who make up this community. My staff and I could not be more excited to get to work.”

Fierro takes over a program that has posted a 4-16 mark between 2024-2025, but from 2018-2023 had posted winning records. Last season was one of the toughest the program had seen in quite some time, with Cantwell-Sacred Heart losing a game 91-13 to Salesian on Oct. 3.

The Cardinals ended this past season with a 1-9 record and finished ranked No. 813 in the final 2025 California High School Football Massey Rankings.
