Robert helped me learn a life lesson when we played C-Squad football at Palmer. I played QB that year and Robert was our RB and a damn good one. During our big night game at Garry Berry Stadium, we drove the ball down to the opponents 2 yard line. I think we were playing Coronado HS C-Squad. Coach Espinoza called a sweep for Robert, I was supposed to pitch him the ball and he would run to the outside and score. Instead I did a QB sneak without telling anyone and scored. Robert, Coach and pretty much the rest of the offense were pissed at me. I had done a selfish thing and Robert called me out on it. It was a life lesson in how to be a good teammate and NOT be selfish. I remember feeling horrible. Of course Robert went to many Touchdowns that year as were undefeated, but I will never forget that lesson and how Robert forgave me. I have many found memories of Robert growing up playing football, at North Jr. High and at Palmer. I recently lost my dad this past April, so Robert go visit my dad in heaven. RIP Robert.
