Ex-UA coach Francis has CDO on a tear
Canyon del Oro’s baseball team is off to an 8-0 start under new/old baseball coach Keith Francis, outscoring opponents 95-21. No surprise there. Francis coached CDO to a state title in 2002, and then joined the Pima College baseball staff for two seasons, and then spent three years on Andy Lopez’s UA staff before retiring a second time. Francis, 66, spent 27 years as a policeman in Kansas City (he once coached Albert Pujols in junior college) and now sells real estate in whatever free time he has.
