Future Athletes of BUHS

Bishop Youth Football is a organization that has three divisions 1, 2 and 3. I have a cousin in D1, a brother in D2, and 2 cousins in D3. Most of my focus will be on the twins my cousins in D3; Manny and Camile Talavera.  I chose to interview them because they will be freshmen next year at Bishop Union High School.  Also because they are our school’s future athletes.
