First year Coach Anthony White resigned to take the head coaching job at Buena Park. Then During a lengthy hiring process to bring in a new coach a couple players transferred out. Finally Mike McFarland was named Head Coach in the middle of May and by the end of the month it was official. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Now, after all that, the Rams are ready to get down to business. Temple City has been out for spring workouts for about four weeks now but only two with McFarland. Considering all that has happened, the turn out hasn\u2019t been too bad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have about 70 players out right now. They started working out before I came on so they haven\u2019t missed too much,\u201d McFarland said.<\/p>\n<p>McFarland, who spent last year as the HC at Pasadena, was offered a teaching position as well at Temple City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was huge. Otherwise I would still be out looking for a job,\u201d McFarland said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7193\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7193\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7193\" src=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/June-11-10-TC-FTBALL-020-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7193\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nice to meet you.

Wide receiver Andrew Anda also figures into the TC offensive plan.<\/p>\n<p>In the Rio Hondo league it figures to be Monrovia\u2019s world in 2010. With San Marino and La Canada improving as well, Temple City and McFarland have their work cut out. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Friday was Temple City\u2019s last workout before the beginning of the dead period.
