SPORTSPERSON OF THE MONTH: San Marcos parent Rich Ridgway has been heading up the Royals’ Field of Champions project, which seeks to raise $850,000 for a turf field at Valley Stadium. Ridgway’s pitch to the luncheon audience (see video above) was a testament to his genuine passion for the project.

“If you bring up the name Ridgway in this community it’s instant credibility,” said San Marcos Athletic Director Abe Jahadhmy.

“If we get this field built our kids are going to benefit big-time, and so are the rest of the kids on sports teams in this community,” said Ridgway.
