Coach’s Corner

“Nick has been around softball his entire life with his grandfather, dad, and uncle being the forces behind the Pueblo Bandits softball team. Slick fielding second baseman with a lot of range.”

— Coach Scott Standerfer

Editor’s note: Nick is another with those “fastball genes”. He is the nephew of Chris Santos, the third generation of that family and Pueblo Bandits program. Chris hits the road to Whitehorse shortly, and will be on hand to enjoy his nephew’s moment in the sun. Midnight sun, that is.
