Pierce Ramos, ’29, is an excellent player on the field, and he has also played many other sports for Redwood, but football has been the sport he enjoys playing the most.
Ramos, #3, a wide receiver, says, “I’ve been playing for Redwood High School for about 2 years now.”
Ramos says one of his proudest accomplishments is getting over 100 yards each game.
Ramos has always liked playing football, and now that he has been playing for Redwood High School, he has been doing even better and better each game.
One of Ramos’s goals was to score three touchdowns in his upcoming game against Lemoore.
Edward Guizar-Ibarra ’28, #60, plays nose guard on the defensive line on the field.
Guizar-Ibarra says, “I’m looking forward to getting some sacks this game. Lemoore has a big line, and they like to do pulling plays and power; I’m also looking forward to try and capitalize on the holes that they are gonna leave.”
Guizar-Ibarra says he has been playing football since he was little. He tried martial arts, but he knew that sport wasn’t for him, so he went to football, which has always been his favorite sport in every lifetime.
He said, ” I wouldn’t want to play any other sport except football.”
“I like the pressure and the downfield when I play,” said Guizar-Ibarra. For upcoming games, he said, “I make sure to practice a lot and eat the best I can before games.”
Andy Garcia ’28, a defensive lineman, shares his thoughts about going against Lemoore. Garcia said, “I am looking forward to maintaining an undefeated title and then just keep rolling through the rest of the season.”
Something Garcia says he’s been accomplishing is “trying to execute my assignments, and if I do my job and everybody does their job on the field, then we will continue to have successful games”.
Garcia has been playing for Redwood for about 2 years now; he is an amazing player on the field. He said, “I will stick to my normal routine to continue getting these wins.”
Zayden Fierro ’29, #1, plays corner back on the field.
Fierro has also done track, and he has been playing football for about 8 years now. He has been playing for Redwood’s football team for two years now.
Fierro shares what he’s gonna do better in this upcoming game. He says, “I’m going to do my part in the game, make sure my team has the right mindset, and make sure I do my best; it helps the team a lot.”
