He’s been a football player for the Yerington Lions since his Freshman year and will be playing his last season with them, looking to continue a football career in college. He doesn’t have a preferred college at this time but he wants to get into the mining industry. We are so proud of Aiden and are looking forward to seeing him graduate in 2025.”
