2010 Freshman Coaching Staff

At the banquet, I recognize our coaches so that all the parents, family and friends of our players can put a name and a face together with a bio on each of our coaches. Here are the Freshmen Football Coaches for the 2010 Patrick Henry Patriots.



Andy Armenta, Assistant Head Coach, DB's and Special Teams

Coach Armenta graduated from Calexico HS in Calexico Ca. in 1980. He played football and was a WR and DB while at Calexico. Coach Armenta was selected Southern Section All CIF in 1979 as a WR. After graduating from Calexico HS, he went on to play football at Imperial Valley JC. He earned a scholarship to Hastings University in Nebraska where he was named as an All State WR. After graduating from Hastings, Coach Armenta returned home and began coaching at his Alma mater, Calexico HS. He became Calexico's Varsity Head Football in 1986 to 1988. He then became the Varsity Head Football Coach at Universidad CETYS High School Football Team from 1988 to 1990. This is his 2nd year coaching at Patrick Henry.

Fred Bushardt, Offensive Line

Coach Bushardt graduated from Chula Vista HS in 1967. He is an alumni from San Diego State University and began his career in television at KGTV in the early 70's. He went onto work as the News Director at KRON in San Francisco and he recently retired and came home to San Diego. Coach Bushardt has 2 years of coaching Pop Warner football and spent the 2007 and 2008 seasons working as the endzone cameraman and quality control at Hilltop HS with Coach Martinez and I on the Varsity. 'Uncle Fred' is also my brother-in-law. This is Coach Bushardt's 2nd year with Patrick Henry and is pencilled in to being the JV O-Line coach next year.

Ron Francis, Operations Coach

Ron Francis is a parent volunteer that helps me with all the minutia and paperwork that is involved in being a Head Coach of a football team. Showing up and just coach is the furthest thing from the truth in coaching high school sports. Coach Francis prowls the sidelines and is my morale compass for the team. He is my first Operations Coach and I know next year, not only will I need another Operations Coach, but that filling his shoes will be hard to do, both literally and figuratively speaking.

Paul Hubka, Offensive Coordinator and QB's

Paul Hubka is a graduate for St. Augustine High School's class of 1977. He lettered in football, baseball, track and in basketball while attending Saints. He attended Mesa, Grossmont Colleges and moved onto SDSU. Coach Hubka is also Officer Hubka and currently works Eastern Division of the San Diego Police Department. (which covers San Carlos, Del Cerro and Allied Gardens) He started coaching football at Sacred Heart Academy at the Head Coach of the 8th grade flag football team. In 2008 and 2009, Coach Hubka made the jump into high school football and became the QB, Special Teams and kicking coach at El Capitan HS in Lakeside. This is Coach Hubka's first year at Patrick Henry.

Terry Naughton, RB's

I have know Terry Naughton for many years, going back to playing with his brother, Danny back in 1978 for the Patriots. Coach Naughton graduated from Patrick Henry's class of 1977. He lettered in football and in wrestling while at PHHS. He is an artist and has worked for Disney and Pixar for years now. Coach Naughton has coached wrestling and is our strength and conditioning coach. He has coaching ties to Alvarado Football and has previously coached at the freshmen level here at Patrick Henry.


Ronnie Trujillo, Defensive Line

Coach Ronnie Trujillo is a graduate from Midway Baptist HS in the Southbay. He received All League Honors as an Offensive and Defensive Lineman at Midway Baptist, which is now Oceanview Academy. He works as a youth advisor for his church and heard about the 'Building Men for Others' program here at Patrick Henry. He became intrigued and wanted to coach football. This is his first year coaching football and he will be moving up to the JV as the JV D-line coach next year.

Nick Valaile, Defensive Coordinator and LB's

Coach Nick Valaile graduated from Clairemont HS in 1983. He played OG on the 1981 San Diego Section CIF Championship Team as the Chieftans beat the Lincoln Hornets San Diego Stadium (Before it was Jack Murphy Stadium and before it was the 'Q') Coach Valaile went onto play 2 years at San Diego City College before joining the San Diego Police Department. (Coach Valaile and I have been partners on the SDPD for a total of 8 years). Coach Valaile began coaching football in 2002 as the Varsity and JV offensive line coach at The Bishop's School in La Jolla Ca. In 2003 and 2004, Coach Valaile became the JV Defensive Coordinator at Bishop's. This is Coach Valaile's 2nd and last year coaching football at Patrick Henry. He will be taking time to raise his daughter Faith along with his wife Reyna. I will miss my close friend, confidant and brother and I wish him all the best.


Johnny Zelender, Defensive Line

Coach Zelender is a friend to Varsity LB Coach Damon Schaeffer. Coach Zelender had been coaching at the YMCA in Mission Valley and expressed an interest in coaching high school football to Coach Schaeffer. The Freshmen program is an enrty level job and it was a good spring board for 'Coach Z' to get started. His emotions and enthusiasm is un-matched on the sidelines on game day. Coach Zelender works at Phil's BBQ in Pt. Loma.
