When the Incarnate Word football team hits the ground against Monterrey Tech on August 29 it will have four players serving as captains for the school's first game in history.
Coach Mike Santiago has said the four will be at the historic first coin toss and then will serve as the on-field Cardinals representatives.
From the defensive side of the football freshman linebacker Dakota Mawyer is the man. Then, on offense junior quarterback Thomas Specia will represent the team. Special teams will see their representative be junior safety Ephraim Banda. The fourth captain Saturday is what is termed the coaches' choice and he is freshman running back Trent Rios.
Each game there will be four new captains but these four are the ones to have their names in the Cardinals history book.
Kickoff against Monterrey Tech will be 7 p.m. Saturday at Gayle and Tom Benson Stadium on the UIW campus.
