From the sidelines: Gio is the youngest athlete on the Varsity team but does not play like it! His aggressiveness on offense changes the game for us and opens things up for his teammates. Defensively, he is always in the right spots and a great communicator. He is a very coachable kid who is committed to always improving to help his team. He has a bright future and has the potential to go down as a Charger great.
