SAN SABA —If one were to use a cookie cutter to form a prototypical linebacker, the exterior wouldn’t resemble San Saba’s Winton Lackey.

In fact, it wouldn’t be anything close to the senior Armadillo, who stands in at only 5-foot-7 and weighs just 165 pounds. 

Lackey’s interior, however, is actually a prototype for what high school coaches are looking for: a non-stop motor, fearlessness, a nose for the football and heart.  These ingredients have been dealt to Lackey in such measure, that San Saba coach Andreas Aguirre had no hesitation in allowing him to occupy the heart of his defense.
