One of two San Luis Valley players chosen for the CHSCA All-State Games’ football feature, Sargent High School’s Justin Hacsi (55)—named to the South squad along with Farmer teammate Esteban Aguilera—stands with parents Jeff and Rhyan to his left, SHS skipper Trevan Pepper to his right and South coach Rob Braaten (Colorado Springs Mesa Ridge) at his far right during pre-game introductions at Adams State University’s Rex Field.  Utilized primarily as a defensive back against pass-happy North, Hacsi and South fell behind 14-0 after one quarter and 35-3 through two, and the crew’s fourth-quarter rally only managed to cut the final deficit to three scores.
