Principal’s Message Mr. Erik Sandstrom Welcome to the 2014 Tokay High School football season. Our student-athletes and coaches have been working hard throughout the spring and summer and look forward to battling for the league championship. All three teams have given their best effort to prepare for a successful season, with dedication and commitment while maintaining the highest degree of sportsmanship. Our players hard work ethic will have great dividends as the Tigers challenge league and non-league teams alike. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Tokay community for not only their support of the football teams but our other fall sports teams as well, including boys’ soccer, girls’ volleyball, golf and tennis, water polo and cross country. Your support of all co-curricular and extra-curricular activities is appreciated throughout the year.
Athletic Director’s Message Coach Michael Holst The Varsity coaching staff is looking forward to an exciting 2015 football season. This year's varsity football team returns many key seniors on both sides of the ball. The talented group of incoming juniors look to reload the positions of last years graduating seniors who led Tokay to a playoff berth. In the off season the team worked extremely hard in the weight room and on the practice field. The team dedicated many of their afternoons for passing leagues in Elk Grove and Stockton. Over the summer the team traveled to South Lake Tahoe, CA to participate in a team contact camp that strengthened our game skills and player relationships. In our teams pursuit to get back to the playoffs we will look to win a league championship in the new TCAL. Resource Specialist Director of Athletics Head Football Coach
