Northwood football coach Erik Terry has resigned after one season for family reasons, he confirmed Tuesday.

Terry said will he continue as co-athletic director at the Irvine Unified school.

This past season, Northwood finished 4-6, including a 1-4 in the Foxtrot League, and missed the playoffs.

Three players earned first-team all-league honors. They were defensive linemen Jacob Harper and Xayn Ali and athlete Jack Schultz.

Sophomore quarterback Dylan D’Epifanio was among Northwood’s second-team all-league selections.

Terry’s coaching staff included several former head coaches, including Stephen Barbee.

Barbee, who coached defensive backs, arrived after a successful, seven-year run at Long Beach Poly. He led the Jackrabbits to a CIF title, a feat he also achieved at St. Margaret’s.

Terry replaced J.C. Clarke, who also served as an assistant last season. Clarke guided Northwood to consecutive CIF-SS titles and a CIF State runner-up finish.

In the 2026-27 league cycle in Orange County, Northwood drops one league to the Iota League. The new-look Iota also includes Cypress, Kennedy, Laguna Hills, Marina and Pacifica.
