Cienega High School grad Daniel Gonzales, the captain of Navy’s football team in 2015 and 2016, will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. Gonzales had 174 career tackles when he was injured last week against Air Force. “Daniel symbolizes everything we’re trying to preach here with our football program: Work hard on the football field, be a humble person, be a good student, do what you’re supposed to do in the hall – he did all of that,” Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo told reporters last week. Gonzales, a senior, will become a student coach for the rest of the season.
