By Paul Honda on September 4, 2021

In 2019, Joshua Arcayena was a playmaking sophomore. The linebacker/running back was active, productive and one of several key contributors to a Pac-Five football squad that went 6-3 in OIA/ILH Division II interleague play. In ’21, the Wolfpack had to fight to stay alive as a program. The pandemic nearly wiped out a five-decades old conglomerate, but new coach Kena Heffernan, his staff and players kept the fire burning.
