Members of his first team, hundreds of Warrior fans celebrate: It's 300 victories for coach Steve Denman!
As giddy as teenagers and bearing pre-printed "300" t-shirts, men who played on the first team that Steve Denman coached as Tehachapi High School head football coach 34 years ago descended upon Coy Burnett Field Nov. 4 to celebrate what they were certain would be Denman's 300th victory. The 51-year-olds were not disappointed. The Warriors defeated Bakersfield's West High, 35-7, triggering a mass surge out of the stands onto the field to congratulate Denman.

Warrior announcer and Tehachapi City Council member Ed Grimes presented Denman with a plaque, also pre-made, marking the occasion. Denman became the 8th high school coach in California history to reach 300 wins, and the 2nd to reach that goal working at one school.
