Preps: Punahou girls soccer coach steps down

Advertiser Staff

Jorge Barbosa, who guided Punahou to three girls soccer state championships and five Interscholastic League of Honolulu titles, has stepped down as head coach after 10 years at the helm.

According to a school press release, Barbosa "will be taking time off from coaching to focus on his family and other professional interests."

Matthew Martinson, who teaches in Punahou's P.E. department, will serve as interim coach this season. Martinson has nine years experience as a head coach at the intermediate, JV and varsity levels, according to the release.
