Bronco football is one of the most competitive and known sports in Bishop. Football becomes a player’s life when they love what they’re doing. Tristan Valle is a known former student athlete for Bishop Union High school who has continued his career and dream in football in West Hills coalinga at a juco school. After playing in West Hills he transferred to a D2 football team receiving a full ride scholarship to Missouri S&T. I got the opportunity to interview Tristan Valle about how his experiences and how life is treating him differently away from home. 

“D2 college football is a lot tuffer than expected, there’s a lot with weight room and all the early morning practices, and lets not forget the weather change where the practices are like 10 degrees with wind chill.” TV 

“The school is smaller and is one of the hardest in the country being that it’s a science and technology school. I have improved myself a lot with weight lifting. We lift 4 days a week for an hour of intense workouts”
