Cory Archuleta will be the first man to admit that he s not primarily a football coach. But coaching has been a vital part of his adult life. He served as the baseball coach for Manitou Springs for a few years before the football job came open.
Participation numbers were down and the program wasn t the most attractive landing spot at the time, a far cry from the late 1980 s and early 90 s when the Mustangs were winning state championships.
Archuleta had a strong relationship with the Manitou athletes because of his time with the baseball team. He was the right guy to take the program over when he was hired in 2016. This season, everything is seeming to click for Manitou.
