CISCO — There is no arguing that the last 22 years have been the most successful stretch in Cisco football history.  In fact, it’s not even close. 

Since 2002, the Loboes have won outright or shared 15 district championships, appeared in five state title games and won a state championship in 2013. 

The biggest common denominators? Members of the coaching staff, many of whom have stayed with the program through coach Brent West’s retirement from the game in 2019. 

Among the players, however, one name has been a constant somewhere in the program for the last 16 years: the name of Gayle — a family that has supplied the CHS athletic department with five brothers and a sister since 2008, a key factor in the two most dynamic decades of CHS sports the school has ever seen.
