Jude Oliva is the new football HC at SG<\/p><\/div>\n

(San Gabriel)- \u201cI\u2019m in it to win it.\u201d<\/p>\n

What many speculated became official this morning. Long time San Gabriel assistant and alum Jude Oliva was officially named the Matadors head football coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got offered the job,\u201d said Oliva. \u201cIt\u2019s official, I\u2019m the guy and I\u2019m ecstatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliva and his fiancee, Diana, will be getting married this Saturday. \u201cIt\u2019s already a great week for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliva, who played for Gary Orona when San Gabriel reached the playoffs in 1997, has been the Matadors offensive coordinator since 2006 and coaching in the program since the finals run in 2003.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played here, started here, and wanted to be here,\u201d said Oliva, who after a three year varsity career went on to play college football at Dakota State.<\/p>\n

He replaces Keith Jones who first took over the SG program in 1999 and led it through last fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime you follow a great coach like Keith Jones its a challenge,\u201d said Oliva. \u201cHe changed football here. I\u2019m excited to take what I learned from him he\u2019s been a great mentor.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Former Temple City assistant Andrew Cupp served as the team\u2019s HC in 2004—during Jones very brief retirement.)<\/p>\n

Oliva is now beginning the search for assistants. In his new role he plans on bringing on an offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be about doing things the right way,\u201d he said. \u201cWith character.\u201d<\/p>\n
