(La Puente) – I sat down with Bishop Amat big man Cruz Acosta. He is an all-leaguer from the Mission League who has become a top offensive lineman in the area.\u00a0Acosta is going into his senior season with high hopes for the Lancers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

A: Staying focused on our game-plans that we made during the week and taking all that adrenaline and using it on each play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
