LAREDO, Texas – The Laredo Law areanafootball2 team opened camp today with two practices at the Student Activities Center. The team will practice twice again Friday and scrimmage on Saturday at the SAC. Two local Laredo residents are in camp with the Law as offensive-defensive lineman Erick Gonzalez and Cliff Meneley are both on the training camp roster.

Gonzalez, who is 22 years old, played locally at United South High School. After graduation he attended Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas where he played three years of football at the NCAA Division III school. He finished his collegiate career this past fall with the Lobos.

"This is a tremendous opportunity to represent Laredo," said Gonzalez. "I am excited for this chance and I want to make Laredo proud." Gonzalez, a 6"0" 250-pound lineman, currently works at the Laredo Home Depot.
