St. Francis senior Alex Vazquez knew he wanted to play football at an early age. But his family, including his father and brother who both served in Iraq, stressed the importance of education. So Alex has worked hard on his grades before ever stepping on the gridiron. The Wolves standout is playing in the Border Wars All Star game on Saturday, hoping to catch a scout's eye with his skills on the football field. If successful, Alex could land a potential college scholarship to play at the next level.
