All-American Scooby visits Sunnyside's Zelaya

Arizona All-American linebacker Scooby Wright visited the UA Medical Center on Friday in attempt to boost the spirit of Sunnyside High School junior lineman Dante Zelaya. It’s a sobering story: Zelaya has been diagnosed with Germinoma, a rare brain tumor in the central nervous system. It’s not that Zelaya isn’t used to a fight: he played tackle for the Blue Devils even though he’s 5-6, 185 pounds. You can contribute to Zelaya’s medical expenses fund at gofundme.com and enter his name in the search box.
