El Dorado High School’s football season began in ominous fashion when standout senior running back Isaiah Quintero suffered a broken fibula early in the team’s opening game.

The outlook for the Golden Hawks of Placentia, California, did not brighten when, by Coach Zack LaMonda’s recollection, injuries struck down “five or six” more starters over “the first four or five” games.
