Football: TC's White adds more coaches to his staff
There was plenty of buzz and hype at Temple City High School when the hiring of Anthony White as the next football coach was announced. White, at a lunch meeting two weeks ago, met with a surprisingly large group, 82 in all, who expressed interest in playing next season - and that's not counting the incoming freshman. Though Temple City is on spring break this week, White said around 40 players spent an hour of weight lifting and an hour of running. White has also been kept busy with putting together a coaching staff. In a matter of just days, White recruited high-profile coaches in Zeke Prado (East Los Angeles College) and Jude Oliva (San Gabriel). Oliva was to assume the role of offensive coordinator but later changed his mind.
Still, White has not had trouble bringing in coaches. He's brought in five freshman coaches, four junior varsity coaches and he's locked down two more varsity assistant coaches in Addison Hawthorne and Randy Horton. Hawthorne will help with the cornerbacks and work with Michael Cable, who was retained from Randy Backus' staff. Hawthorne worked closely with Horton, who was the defensive coordinator at Pasadena last year. Horton also was a finalist for the head football coaching vacancy recently filled by Western Missouri University's Mike McFarland. "I think it'll be a good experience," Horton said. "It's a new start. (White's) a very energetic coach. I think he brings a lot to the playbook." Horton will be the strength and conditioning coach at Temple City. Previously, he was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at UCLA "I think that's a good advantage for me," he said. "I do work with a few NFL players, too, so I'm sure they'll buy what I'm selling quick." White also added Danny Marquez and David Villareal to the staff. They will serve as assistant lineman coaches. They previously played at Pasadena City College and West Virginia State. The offensive and defensive coordinator positions are still open, but White said he has capable guys on his staff who could fill those positions. White hopes to finalize his staff by April 20. Spring practices are slated for May 18. The slew of coaches will be paid through 11 1/2 stipends issued to the program from the Temple City Unified School District. Some stipends were cut to spread and cover the entire staff. "When you coach high school you coach because you love the game and you love the kids," White said. "That's the kind of coaches I'm trying to bring in."

Good post, thanks
OMG! You have no idea how much money and time you could have saved for me if I had read your article sooner. Thanks so much.
Summing up, disagreeing with this comment or short to any degree is truly censorship, that is definitely standard for your misdefined 19th-century agenda.
Frustrated parent don't be sad if the Asst Coaches were that good PHS would have been much better last year. It can't all be blamed on the Head Coach

I wouldn't worry about PHS your son will be extremely fortunate to play under a coach like McFarland. Infact your son will learn more from Coach Mac then he ever learned under the previous coaching staff, he just needs to listen and you need to allow him to enjoy his final season.
Anthony White and his staff will do a great job, Great hire for Temple City High
Coach Backus,
I have been blatantly clear on where I stand regarding both your dismissal and contribution to TC football.
At this point I will just say that like other players and parents - I am proud to have been there when Randy Backus coached.
There is no doubt the work ethic, preparation and leadership you brought every day - will continue to pay dividends in the lives of the young men already graduated, and those that remain at TC for the 09 season.
Regards,
GA
Congratulations and good luck to Anthony White. With his background and energy, I'm sure that Anthony White will be an outstanding coach at Temple City High School. I did not resign when being forced to as there were goals that the football program was pursuing and wished to see accomplished. These goals included student/athlete academics, community service, and fundamental football skills. Hopefully, these goals will still be obtained. Good luck to Ram's football.
I knew this guy was a winner. Looks like the program is in good hands, can't wait to see who he picks as OC.
I'll try to have more on Duarte, HS and LC tomorrow...I'm short-staffed today, guys.
Sounds like TC will be more then ready come September. TC sounds like they are not wasting time.
Does anyone know if Tip has met with the Duarte Students? Has he put together his staff…I have not heard anything.
What about McFarland? Any updates with PHS football program???
Thanks for naming names, White and Prado are easy to pick out, the other new guys are going to take some time to figure out. The kids have been at it awhile now, 2 hours a day...lifting and doing alot of core work, push ups and running.
I am still hoping to see a good OC show up. But it is great to see some young line dudes out there that the kids can relate to and learn from....and hopefully get some in depth instruction from.
Horton will find some linemen who love the iron at TC !
Go Rams
AMEN to That! Coach White keeps showing us he was the right man for the job! Great Job Coach!!!
Temple city's gain is Pasadena highs loss!! Its true what folks say--one mans trash is another mans treasure. Pasadena lost 2 fine young coaches with Horton and AD who had the full respect and attenntion of all the players on the team. What happened to keeping these guys on the staff with the new coach. Good job Temple city because you guys got some good dudes. Oh yeah--I thought Huck said these guys were gonna stay!! Shows how much he knows. I hope Mcfarland can find some good guys and soon because we are way behind evryone else. I hope my sons senior year isnt a waste.
