Ex-Cat Poumele dies

Pulu Poumele, a starter on the offensive line at Arizona in 1993 and 1994, died Sunday in Oceanside, California, where he had been a high school football coach and math teacher for about 15 years. He was only 45, and had been at the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility during the UA’s spring practice sessions. Poumele, who chose Arizona over UCLA in 1989, was the first cousin of the late Junior Seau.
