He last coached there in 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have all new administrators from the district to the high school. They have assured me that they will support athletics and football,&#8221; Spathias said. &#8220;So yes, my staff and I will take over the football program and if the district gives us the okay to play we will have our first scrimmage March 12 against Covina.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spathias led Bassett to the CIF playoffs three times during his first run there, including a 6-5 overall record and a playoff berth against San Dimas in 2015, his final year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spathias then spent one year at Montebello as an offensive line coach, one year as the head coach at Los Altos where he went 7-3 before taking over as head coach at Workman for two years. The Lobos went to the playoffs both years with a first place and a second place finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spathias, as the Athletic Director at Bassett, was originally leading the way to find a replacement for Martin Soto who stepped down in November, before deciding to take the position himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It seems like every year is a bigger challenge than before,&#8221; Spathias added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tim Peterson (La Puente) &#8211; Hector Spathais has returned as the head football coach at Bassett he 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":[12816,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hsfootball","category-high-school-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70891"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":70895,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70891\/revisions\/70895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
