Joe Naiman SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Bob Burt has been hired as the new Fallbrook High School head football coach. “We’re excited to see what he can do with this group of kids,” said Fallbrook athletic director Pat Walker. Burt acknowledged challenges of becoming a team’s new coach. “It’s
a big learning curve,” he said. One challenge is determining the skills of his players, and Burt acknowledges that the familiarity aspect is a task for both sides. “They have to know me,” he said. Burt played on the San Pedro High School football team as a center and defensive end and was also a pitcher on the Pirates’ baseball team before graduating in 1958. He then
played center and defensive end at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colo. Burt returned to California for graduate studies at Los Angeles State College and began his coaching career in 1962 at St. Paul High School in Santa Fe Springs as an assistant to head coach Marijon Ancich, who won 360 games during his high school career, which ranks second all-time among California coaches. “I was fortunate to work for him and learned a lot from him,” said Burt of Ancich. In 1966, Burt became the first head football coach at Pater Noster High School in Eagle Rock where he coached for three years before he became the head coach at Santiago High School in Garden Grove. After six years as the Santiago coach, Burt made his college coaching debut as the head coach at United States International University in San Diego, which is now Alliant University. Burt continued to teach at Santiago High School while driving 120 miles each way to USIU for practices and games. “I wanted to get into college coaching,” said Burt. Although the Gulls only had 28 players in 1975, USIU finished the season with a 7-3 record. “It was a great year,” Burt said. Burt enjoyed college football more than he enjoyed the commute, and after a year at USIU he became
the assistant defensive line coach for UCLA. One of the UCLA players in 1976 was defensive back Pat Schmidt, who was Fallbrook High School’s football coach in 2006 and 2007. “He was well respected by his players,” Schmidt said of Burt. “I’m sure it’s going to be the same thing at Fallbrook High School.” In 1977, Dick Tomey, who was UCLA’s defensive coordinator in 1976, became the head coach at the University of Hawaii and invited Burt to join the Rainbow Warriors’ coaching staff. “We had a lot of success and had a great time over there,” said Burt. Burt was on the Hawaii coaching staff for three years but returned to California to be closer to his daughter. He was the assistant defensive coordinator at Cal State Fullerton from 1980 to 1985. “We had real good teams,” said Burt. “We had a great program.” In 1986, Burt took over as the head coach at Cal State Northridge. The Matadors had an 8-3 record in Burt’s first season, and in 1990 the team earned a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs for the only time in school history. Burt continued to coach Cal State Northridge through 1994 and then returned to the high school level. In 10 years as the Temescal Canyon High School coach, Burt led the Titans to a 90-30 record and eight CIF playoff appearances. Temescal
Canyon won three league championships and one CIF Southern Section championship during Burt’s seasons as the head coach. Burt was also a non-coaching athletic director at the school before retiring in 2007. “Had a great 13 years there,” he said. Notre Dame High School in Riverside, also the Titans, lured Burt in and as the head coach from 2008 to 2010, Burt led the team to three playoff appearances. He was the head coach at Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights for the 2011 season and spent 2012 and 2013 as the Cypress High School coach. In 2014, Burt became the first varsity coach at Santa Rosa Academy in Menifee. The American Football Coaches Association presented Burt with the 2013 Power of Influence Award at the AFCA’s January 2014 conference. Burt, who lives in Hemet, intends to coach at Fallbrook longer than one or two years and will be replacing Kyle Williams, who compiled a record of 17-17 during his three years, including CIF playoff games in all three seasons and a Valley League championships in 2014 and 2015. “I’m here to stay. I love the idea of a one town and one school atmosphere. I think it’s a great opportunity,” said Burt. To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.
Great Oak High School Field Hockey readying for second season TEMECULA – Great Oak High School Girls Field Hockey began play last Fall season and competed as a JV squad against teams from all over Southern California. For 2016, GOHSFH are planning to field two all-girls teams — Varsity (letter eligible) and Junior Varsity — and planning a full season of games and tournaments. Led by Head Coach Liz Hammond, last year’s team, the first team in Riverside Country made great progress, and with the help of the GOHSFH parent support group board, the team is currently recruiting players for the upcoming Fall season. Summer Training Camp is taking place now and throughout the summer from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and led by assistant coach Stacey Savin. Summer training camps consists of sport education, skills training, significant amounts of open play and a comprehensive conditioning program. The team is scheduled to compete in a 7V7 summer league as well as compete in the Cal State
Games in July. Each player who registers for the camp will receive a reversible team jersey for use during training camp and the regular season. There is no experience necessary to play field hockey — the sport is similar to soccer or lacrosse in structure and is a fast-paced, fun game that relates well to almost any sport. Even if players have never played a sport, GOHSFH coaches will teach participants everything they need to know in order to compete. The sport does not compete with Soccer, Basketball, Track & Field, Lacrosse, Swimming or Water Polo. This is a great chance to start the new high school year by making new friends and playing a a sport which offers college scholarship opportunities all over the country. Players that intend on trying out for the team (tentatively) scheduled for the first week of school, are also greatly encouraged to attend as much of the summer training camp as possible. All players must have completed a GOHS

Boy Scouts from Troop 430 perform during a flag day ceremony June Courtesy photo 14 at Lake Elsinore/Wildomar Elks Lodge No. 2591.
LAKE ELSINORE – Lake Elsinore/Wildomar Elks Lodge No. 2591 celebrated Flag Day at the lodge at an open meeting Tuesday, June 14. Before the Flag Day Ceremonies, Gary Brown, Exalted Ruler, held an abbreviated meeting to care of lodge business. After the meeting, Elks and members of the general public attended the Flag Day Ceremonies. The Elks were the first to come up with the idea of a Flag Day in 1907. June 14 was selected as that day by the Grand Lodge which made the observance mandatory for all lodges in 1911. It was not until Aug. 3, 1949 that President Harry S. Truman signed Public Law 205 designating June 14 as Flag Day. Brown opened the meeting with the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner.” He then led a special ritual set up by the Grand Lodge where
he and lodge officers narrated the significance the flag, love of country, the Elks relationship to the flag and what it represents. Kip Yotter, of Boy Scout Troop 430, then gave a history of the flags of the United States from pre-Revolutionary days to the present as Cub Scouts from Cub Scout Packs 30 and 332 and Boy Scout Troops from Troops 332, 420 and 2011 brought flags from each period and posted them. After the posting of the flags, Larry Ryan, Lodge Scouting Chairmen, gave a history the of flag during the conflicts and wars from the Revolution to the present time. After his presentation, all sang “God Bless America” followed by a special prayer by Betty Hamilton, Lodge chaplain. Brown then concluded the ceremonies.
