I remember playing my first game of football with the 18 years and up guys growing up with the convincing of Michael Benavidez! Jacinto and I got the plevlege none the less. On a certain play I dove to catch a pass witch I dropped after landing in Rick's arm and power dropped to the ground! After catching my breath minutes later finishing the game playing, luckily in one piece! Played softball with him six years later down the road since I was only 14 at the time of football game. Very GOOD MAN and sending prayers to all family and guys that grew up with him!!!
