Alchesay Falcons using heart and hustle to soar

Alchesay High School’s third year head football coach, Mel Frank, is looking to build on last year’s successes with more heart and hustle for the 2012 – 2013 football season.

“We want to take this team to the next level by showing how big our heart is and how much we can hustle.” Frank said in a recent interview.  “With those 2 attributes we will build team unity to become more cohesive.  As we become more cohesive we become a better team.”

The Falcons who were 0 – 10 in 2010 -2011 went 4-6 last year as they surprised Holbrook, Globe and Miami. The Falcons also beat San Carlos 65-8 in the “Apache Bowl”.

“That is always the game we look forward to,” Frank said. “This year that game falls on October 12^th.  By then we will know what we are made of.”

Alchesay will lean on 14 returning letterman including Center Sin Jin Clawson to lead this team. Frank also looks for Danny Sedillo and Elijah Kane Colelay to step up in leadership roles.

“I expect to take this team to state this year,” Coach Frank said. “We may not be a top-tier team but with our team speed, heart and hustle we will be in the mix.”
