While
Locket, French and Newnham have been doing this every
season since the mid 90's, including when all three were
members of the 2002 NorCal Lawmen California State
Championship team, White is a high profile newcomer with
a lot of energy and drive, and is ready to take this
team to the next level.

for the Cal Bears. White still holds the records

played from 1990-1992. White left Cal after his
Junior year to go into the 1993 NFL draft. White

director and head football coach. He lead the Eagles to
back to back CIF division titles, and was just recently
hired as the head coach of Oakland's Castlemont High
School.
The rest of the team staff
will be finalized over the next several days, but many
of the coaches from both teams are already on board. The team will be playing the 2012 season home games at
