Memoir
FOR THE NEW STUDENTS COACH STEVE ROBINSON WILL BE KNOWN AS A VARSITY FOOTBALL COACH OF THE PAST. SOME MIGHT NOT KNOW WHO HE WAS NOR WHAT HE DID FOR GHS AND E.L.A. FOR THE ALUMNI WHO PLAYED FOR HIM AND UNDER HIS WISDOM, REMEMBER HIM AS A LEGEND, A MENTOR, A HERO, AND A FATHER FIGUIRE. IF I WAS ASKED WHAT QUOTE REMINDS ME OF HIM...IT WOULD HAVE TO BE, "GRADUATE, GO TO COLLEGE, BECOME SOMEONE AND COME BACK TO THE COMMUNITY TO GIVE BACK WHAT THEY GAVE YOU".
COACH ROBINSON ALWAYS BELIEVED OUR KIDS CAN COMPETE WITH ANYONE OR ANYTHING. COACH ROBINSON TOOK GARFIELD FOOTBALL TO THE LEVEL MANY ALUMNI WOULD WANT TO COMPETE IN, WHICH WAS 4A-CITY PLAY-OFFS. HE HAD THE BIGGEST UPSET IN 4A-L.A.CITY HISTORY BEATING BANNING 7-6 IN THE FIRST ROUND(BANNING SEATED #1 AND GHS #16). THEN THAT SAME SEASON GOING ON TO THE SEMI-FINALS. AFTER THAT YEAR GHS FOOTBALL WAS KNOWN AS A 4A-CITY POWER HOUSE.
A GREAT MAN WALKED ON THAT FOOTBALL FIELD AND WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET HIM. HE MADE BELIEVERS OUT ALL OF US, NOT ONLY IN THE PROGRAM BUT WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH IN THIS WORLD FOR OURSELVES AS INDIVIDUALS. IF YOU KNEW COACH STEVE ROBINSON YOU KNOW HE WOULD END WITH....TAN-TAN!
