Football: Crawford Spotlight

Crawford head coach Matt Marquez shows off his chains during Saturday's Division V championship game at Escondido High.

From the Colts Coach:

Crawford’s Matt Marquez isn’t your typical high school football coach. For one, the former Marine corpsman served in three tours of Iraq. The tours came within a 19-month span, so he keeps football in perspective.

“Nobody’s firing at me,” said Marquez. “Nothing flusters me. I’m coaching a football game.”

Marquez works at Crawford as part of the school’s security staff. The day after games, Marquez washes the team’s uniforms, supervises players being iced and calls in player stats to the Union-Tribune.
