Donald Paysinger is expected to replace his older brother Carter as Beverly Hills’ football coach, pending approval from the Beverly Hills Board of Education.

A 1977 Beverly Hills graduate, Donald Paysinger was Santa Monica’s coach from 1998-99, going 4-16. He later was a graduate assistant at San Jose State and coached with the San Francisco 49ers during their training camp in 2004 as part of an NFL minority coaching fellowship program.

Carter Paysinger, the Normans’ coach since 1990, was hired as an assistant principal at the school in the spring but told the Beverly Hills Weekly that he would continue to help call develop game plans and call plays. Beverly Hills, which finished last season 8-4 after losing to Palmdale in a Western Division quarterfinal, will play its opener Sept. 11 at home against Long Beach Jordan.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
