Jim Hanna made one of the biggest defensive plays in Rio Hondo Prep football history back in the 1977 CIF Championship against Montclair Prep. In the 3rd Overtime, he intercepted the Mounties, and Rio would then score to win the title a few plays later. Jim has been a long time coach in Kare Youth League and is very active in the Sunday School for Kare Youthchurch. When you think of the Hanna last name, you think of RHP Football. Jim's brother, Mike, was as intense as they come. Jim's nephew, Brad, was my teammate and instrumental in the 2001 championship team. Jim is most proud of the legacy his three sons left on the gridiron. Chaz, Jake, and Robbie kept the Hanna tradition strong during their playing days which included multiple championship runs. Jim Hanna loves Rio Hondo Prep Football and shares some great memories from the past regarding friends and family. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
