DescriptionThis banner celebrates the Gene Autry Award, named after the famous "singing cowboy," that was awarded in 1994 to Gary Venturo. Mr. Venturo was the head football coach for Corona Del Sol High School and was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1990. After the surgery, he resumed working as the headcoach, even while many doubted a full recovery, with his (now famous) orange and gold eye patch.
