Esperanza alum Gary Bowers is expected to be named the school's new head football coach tomorrow, replacing Gary Kemp who resigned at the end of last season after four seasons as the program's head coach.  Bowers is listed as head coach on the team's website.

Last year, Bowers was an assistant line coach at Fullerton College. From 2009-2011, Bowers was an assistant at Los Alamitos.  He began his coaching career at El Dorado High School in 2004 as an offensive line coach, helping lead the school to back-to-back CIF-SS championships in 2006 and 2007.

As a player, Bowers played center and during his senior season in 1996 he was an all-Sunset League.

Kemp resigned after a record of 20-22 in four seasons.
