FEATURE: Santo fullback-linebacker trio giving the Wildcats a leg up on the competition

SANTO — Any football coach who utilizes the triple option (and any coach trying to defend against it) will tell you that the fullback is the key.

And in Class 2A, one good fullback is generally worth his weight in gold.
