UPDATE: Randy Horton is expected to take over as head coach at Pasadena once the respective school boards approve the hires, according to a source.

UPDATE: Mike McFarland, who coached Pasadena to a 5-5 record last season, has accepted an offer to become the next head coach at Temple City.

McFarland will replace Anthony White, who resigned after one season to become head coach at Buena Park.

McFarland will officially take over once he passes a background check. The school board is expected to approve his hire at its next meeting. He will teach government/economics at the school.

Finding a teaching position for the next head coach was thought to be part of the reason the process took so long. White resigned in late February.

Aram’s take: OK, the Rams get their man. Everything I hear about McFarland is good and he’s in just in time for spring. I’m glad this is over and that PHS will transition smoothly with Horton.
