Hanna Hondo Heritage

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!
