The bond between Garfield High School in East Los Angeles and the LA Rams goes deeper than just love for the hometown team.
"They're great," said Aaron Flores, a junior at Garfield and center on the team."Every year they give us jerseys, gloves, cleats, for the classic.""We all play with a chip on our shoulder," Aaron said.
The Rams also honored Hernandez as 2021 High School Coach of the Year. It's a well-earned title, if you ask his team.Students at Garfield High School in East LA show off their new football uniforms, provided by the LA Rams. "Here at East LA we're one big community, and we're all one," said sophomore Paul Ramos, a wide receiver and safety on the team."The coaches too, they do a lot for us, especially Coach Hernandez."
The Rams title came with a cash prize of around $5,500. Hernandez put that money to use supporting the kids he coaches. "It's great, when you have over 100 kids in both the JV and varsity program, it's difficult to try and feed a pregame meal, to provide for our athletes," Hernandez said."That money, we're able to cover those fees."
