Rick Mick (Michael) is on the far right in the blue shirt. He is SO handsome! :]Lisa (his mom) writes: Michael played football in Pop Warner, the Broncos named here, with all of these guys. Vince is something else--huge. Kind of a cool article and the picture is great.
Tonight we won 14-6. Michael scored once, rushed plenty and got an interception at the one yard line to prevent a TD by the other team. He also got voted Homecoming King. It was a great game.

Randy Metcalf/The Explorer, In a tough 4A Sonoran region, the new-look Marana Tigers' offense has its work cut out for them, with a brand-new front line. The team looks to seniors Kane Punt, Vince Robles, Santiago Miranda, Justin Faust and Michael Kivi for guidance as defense determines how far the Tigers advance this season.

Exactly how “Stormin’ Bandits” became a sub-species name for tigers is a mystery, but that’s the tag head coach Willie Dudley attached to his outside linebackers. Aliases aside, the Tigers will rely on defense this year, as a vernal offense — sporting an all-new line — endures a trial-by-fire initiation to a crack division of re-energized rivals. “We’re going to be as good as those guys are. (Our defense is) going to lead us,” Dudley said. Senior quarterback Santiago Miranda (6’ 0”, 155 pounds) hurls for the Tigers, after rabbit’s-foot dual-threat quarterback Robert Rowe graduated to a scholarship at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dudley believes Miranda’s a “playmaker” whose speed will allow receivers like junior Jon Cummings (5’ 11”, 165 pounds) and senior Justin Faust (5’8”, 160 pounds) to get downfield and open. “We lost our whole offense last year, so we’re pretty much starting fresh,” Faust confirmed.Also downfield should be senior Kane Punt (6’2”, 185 pounds), whose size presents his former Marana Bronco teammate with a good throwing target. With a name that forever associates him with the gridiron, Punt has the right attitude for a budding attack. “You just have to give it all you got,” Punt said. “No regrets.” If speed and hops develop into the Tigers’ calling card, senior free safety Michael Kivi wields plenty. The 6’1”, 180-pounder won last year’s 4A state title in triple jump, and plans to get his gloves around enemy passes. “We just have to have to have a different attitude toward our opposition,” Kivi said. “But we can handle them.” Senior nose guard Vince Robles — another former Bronco teammate of Miranda and Punt — cements the defensive line. Formidable at 5’10” and 315 pounds, Robles hones his strength during spring on the track team, with shot put and discuss.
