Spartan Pride

Rio Hondo Prep opens the 2025 Season with a highly anticipated showdown against the Schurr Spartans from Montebello on August 22nd. This is arguably the biggest matchup of all the Week 0 games in the San Gabriel Valley. Austin Montoya is the new Head Coach at Schurr HS after serving as an Assistant the past few seasons. His first game will be against the back to back CIF-SS Champion RHP Kares and he couldn't be more excited for the early challenge. Coach Montoya discusses the history of his program and why they wanted to get this game on the schedule. In exactly 7 weeks, the Spartans and the Kares will meet between the lines for what many expect to be a huge opening test for both schools.
