Football: Terra Nova announces its new head coach

Jason Piccolotti is set to take over the varsity football program at Terra Nova, the administration announced on Monday.

The Pacifica native, who played quarterback at Oceana and City College of San Francisco, now awaits approval from the Jefferson Union High School District Board of Trustees at its regular meeting on Tuesday.

“Jason has a demonstrated record of success as a coach,” Terra Nova Principal Megan Carey said in a statement. “He believes in character development as much as athletic development, and has a strong work ethic in which students come first.”

This puts to an end a two-month search for the replacement of Tim Adams, with whom the administration parted ways after a five-year stint as head coach that began with a Central Coast Section title in 2014.
