Found out today that Christian Lopez, who I was lucky enough to coach for 4 years at Marana High School, passed away. He was one of the most deserving captains I’ve ever had. He was ferocious on the field, but most importantly, he was an incredible person. I’ll miss you. RIP. pic.twitter.com/wHdzfSNBSe
