Occidental alum, Riley Saxon.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

By Joe Torosian<\/p>\n

Temple City High School has stayed in-house and hired Riley Saxon, an on-campus teacher, to become the 14th head football coach in school history.<\/p>\n

Saxon, a former assistant at TC and San Marino, quarterbacked the Rams during the 2006 season. That team was the last to win a Rio Hondo League title before advancing to the second round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

He becomes the school\u2019s sixth head coach since 2007.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the opportunity of not only building a solid program but also restoring the traditions and history that gave Temple City such a great association with high school football and what it should be all about,\u201d Saxon said.<\/p>\n

Saxon also indicated he has a coaching staff in place\u2014pending district approval\u2014and that it will include on campus assistants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players are fantastic kids, and I am excited for us to get to work and show what we can do. I have a lot of confidence in these boys and the coaches we\u2019ll have to direct them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saxon expects the Rams to hit the field either at the end of April or early May.<\/p>\n
