MBHS alum in spotlight as Army’s assistant football coach Long-running Army-Navy gridiron classic set for Dec. 8 this year

engineering, Guyader began his coaching career at Pasadena Poly High School across the street from Cal Poly. He spent 2001 to 2003 there as the offensive coordinator and helped lead the school to a CIF title in 2002.
