"The 2025-26 high school sports season has required Armando Fernandez to multitask at an extraordinary level. He has served as head coach at Sotomayor for boys' basketball and volleyball, and is interim head coach for baseball. He also was head coach for Franklin's flag football team. Each team has won playoff games this season."
"He also teaches religion classes at Cathedral while serving as director of transportation. And he's married with children ages 19, 10 and 4. "Lucky I have an amazing wife who is supportive," he said. And what does she say when he keeps accepting coaching jobs? "She rolls her eyes. Another one?""
"He took over as interim baseball coach at Sotomayor two weeks ago. With the help of a volunteer assistant coach, Sotomayor opened the City Section Division III playoffs with a 7-2 win over Smidt Tech on Tuesday. He also has two daughters playing softball and the 4-year-old is ready to make his T-ball debut."
