<\/a>“A truly great story unfolds in the pages of Joe Torosian’s first novel. With high school football at its core, the story of Dale Andrade shows how a young man grows in all aspects of his life thanks to being a part of a team and a football community.”<\/strong><\/span> \u201cI’m going to sit down with him and talk. He’s just a great football mind. For now he’s a line coach but we’ll see,\u201d Gallardo said. \u201cHe just brings a world of experience to the table. He just wanted to get back into coaching and we’re thrilled to have him.\u201d<\/p>\n The Eagles went 3-7 overall last year, but 3-3 in the Mission Valley League, in Gallardo’s first year.<\/p>\n \u201cWe knew it was going to take a few years years but we’re on the right track,” Gallardo said. “This team has already been working hard in the weight room and on the field. With Mike (Mooney) joining our staff we’re just going to be better.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Tim Peterson (South El Monte) \u2013 Former San Marino\/Temple City head coach Mike Mooney is back in coaching after a six year hiatus, as an assistant coach at South El Monte, Eagles head coach Frank Gallardo confirmed Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[941,3676,11798,3542,365,612,6374,6344,7903,7128,11755,7949,8137],"class_list":["post-52970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-school-sports","tag-d-r-moreland","tag-frank-gallardo","tag-high-school-football-novel","tag-joe-t","tag-joe-torosian","tag-mike-mooney","tag-mission-valley-league","tag-rio-hondo-league","tag-san-marino-football","tag-south-el-monte-football","tag-tangent-dreams","tag-temple-city-football","tag-usc-football"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52970"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52976,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52970\/revisions\/52976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
