Francisco Castro:
While Fran insists he has the best arm and hands (he actually might), he has accepted his life in the trenches. Francisco has played all season as a two way starter and rarely comes off the field. His impact and leadership along the offensive and defensive lines is second to none and is a headache for opposing teams to plan for. Fran also has displayed true grit and has played through injury. Most notably, choosing to play with a broken hand against Nampa Christian last year and snapping with the opposite hand. This season has been a significant year in his personal growth not only as a football player, but more importantly as a young man and follower of Christ. It has been evident in his approach to practice, games and passion for serving others. We are so thankful that God’s path for his life brought him to Cole Valley. The Charger football program would not be what it is today without him.
