| The NorCal
Football Organization announces a change in team
management. Team owner Boots James is stepping
down after |
|
 |
ten seasons with the team. Boots James joined the
team as a player in 1999, the year the Lawmen won
their first title. He then became a co-owner
in 2003 and in 2004 he took over as the team owner.
James led the team to the GCFL title in 2006 and the
GCFL NFC |
|
|
title in 2008. The team had an overall record of
45-20 over those 5 seasons. James will keep his
passion for football going as he'll continue to coach
high school football.
The team will now be run by Brad Newnham and George
French. The two also joined the team in 1999, and along
with James were players on the Lawmen's 1999, 2000 and
2002 championship teams. Brad Newnham has been the
Lawmen GM since 2004 and will now take over as head
coach. George French has been the team marketing
director since 2003, has been a team co-owner for the
last two seasons and will now become the team's new
owner.
Newham and French both played for the Hayward Outlaws of
the Minor League Football System (MLFS) in 1989.
The Outlaws played home games in San Leandro and
traveled to Seattle, Colorado, North Carolina, Florida
and Pennsylvania to compete in the MLFS. Between
the two of them, there are over 45 years of experience
at the Minor League/Semi-Pro level. Newnham played
HS football and then after several pro tyrouts found
himself playing for the Antioch Hornets in 1981.
He played full time right up until 2003 (22 years) and
could still be found as recent as last year wearing pads
and playing in the fall Gladiator League. French
played at Laney College and Oregon Tech, then, also
after several unsuccessful pro-tryouts, end up with the
Hayward Outlaws in 1989. He played on and off for
the next 10 seasons until he too ended up on the 1999
NorCal Lawmen championship team.
