In a game dominated by defensive plays, three Baker seniors were right at home playing defense on the football field in Victory Sports Network’s fifth annual Senior Classic, hosted Saturday in Salina.
Seniors from across the country, competing at the NAIA level, were nominated by coaches and then selected by a committee for Victory Sports Network for placement on either a National or American team. Seniors Calvin Pearce, Colton Miller and Charleston DeLa Cruz were selected to play defense for the national team.
Their team won the game 17-13, giving the seniors a chance to chalk up one final win in their collegiate careers.
DeLa Cruz enjoyed playing with some of his teammates one last time.
“Taking the field with those guys again, I would do it again anytime,” DeLa Cruz said. “I love my teammates.”
