My name is Dave and I will be the Head Coach for the Jr Midget football team this season. I would like to say Thank you for allowing me to continue to be a part of this proud Woodcreek tradition. Growing up in Antioch, CA., I played youth football and baseball. In High School, I was a three sport athlete (Football, Wrestling and Track) I have coached for 20+ years. with over 12 years as a head coach. I have been married for 26 years, with 4 sons and 8 grandchildren. Last year was my 1st year with WJT and with everything brand new (New coaches, new playbook, etc.), the kids did a great job in grasping the concept of the high school plays and expectation. We are looking forward to a successful 2024 season.
