Anthony White
(Temple City)- Sources have confirmed Temple City High School has chosen Anthony White to be the tenth head coach in school history.
White’s selection comes two months after the school dismissed former head coach Randy Backus saying it was looking to go a different direction.
Last fall White served on Matt Koffler’s staff at Rosemead, a season ending with the Panthers playing Paraclete in the Mid-Valley Division finals.
In 1998, after a great prep career at Mead, White was awarded the coveted High School Heisman and went on to play football at the University of Utah. After college he returned to coach at Rosemead, then Hacienda Heights-Wilson before returning to Rosemead as defensive coordinator in 2006. Following a season coaching special teams and defensive backs at Pasadena City College, White returned to the Panther fold in 2008.
Given White’s age (28; roughly the same age as Mike Mooney when he took over in 1999) and experience the hope is he will be a long term solution for a Rams program that has been in limbo since the suspension and subsequent dismissal of Backus. No official word yet has been given on whether there will be a teaching position open for him on campus in the fall.
