From the archives: Fernando Gauna's deft scoring ability helped Salpointe Catholic's boys all the way to the Class 5A-I state championship game. It nearly got them the title, too - Gauna's potentially game-winning goal was waved off after referees ruled that time had expired in overtime. Gauna wears jersey No. 9 for Brazil's Ronaldo, his favorite player. — Star staff, 2006
