Patterson Redskins varsity football coach Rene Cabada brought intensity back during his final season at the helm — and a winning season followed.

He and his team commemorated their successes during a Dec. 2 awards ceremony.

Cabada wrapped up his six-year tenure as a local youth football coach for the Patterson Redskins with a 7-4 overall record, including almost making the league’s Super Bowl. 

“It was a great season,” Cabada said. “I was very impressed with how the kids played. We had a lot of obstacles to pass, and the kids passed every obstacle they came up against.”

Cabada and his coaching staff — William Boschi, Ray Henriques, Aaron Lawson, Frank Sanchez and Sam Rivera — recently distributed nine postseason awards (see box for winners.)

Cabada also received a congratulatory plaque from Redskins quarterback Ricardo Ramirez on behalf of the team. It thanked him for his coaching service this past season.

“With the caliber of talent we had, this is the best team I’ve coached,” Cabada said. “I’m very pleased to have coached every one of them. They all wanted to be a part of a winning team.

“For the kids to do what they did just made me very proud of how they performed and what they accomplished.”

Junior varsity
JV coach Larry Olmos could not be reached for comment after repeated calls regarding postseason award recipients.

Novice
Novice coach Read Weinzheimer guided his squad to a stellar 10-2 record, including a Super Bowl berth. His coaching staff included Randall Priester, James Lowder, David Cota and Joe Powers.

Despite losing 19-0 to the Modesto Rams in the team’s 2007 finale, Weinzheimer reveled in a season in which he and his coaching staff transformed many newcomers into champions.

“The novice level is the most rewarding level because they start off not knowing anything, and by the end of the season, they’re correcting me,” Weinzheimer said. “I’m really proud of these guys going from nothing to the Super Bowl, all in one year.”

At the Redskins banquet earlier this month at Apricot Valley Elementary School, Weinzheimer issued a challenge to the 20 players returning next year.

“I told them to not only repeat going to the Super Bowl, but also winning it,” he said. “It’s just rewarding.”

Nine novice players earned awards.

Junior novice
The Patterson Redskins fielded, for the first year, an 18-player junior novice team that played and scored games on an unofficial basis.

Junior novice coach John Guevarra still managed to guide the squad to an unofficial record of 6-2-2. He was assisted by coaches David Valverde, Saul Valverde and Ron Mays.

“It was a well-rounded team,” Guevarra said. “Besides the unofficial record, I believe they were an outstanding team. They were well mixed together. This was a tight team that really hung in together and looked after each other.”

The squad’s 18 players adapted well and meshed in time for the first game in late August, Guevarra said.

“Each one of them was able to learn various positions,” he said. “It made them a well-rounded team. I see a good future for them as they move up. Their skills and teamwork are just outstanding.”

Guevarra recognized eight players with awards.
