Middletown High School assistant coach Kurtis Woodard looks on during a spring football drill Tuesday afternoon as the Mustangs take their first steps toward the upcoming 2022 season, with the start of official practice less than two months away. Quarterback Blake Costlow fakes a handoff to running back Jacob Pullman. The Mustangs are auditioning for starters at several positions, most notably quarterback where they are working with a handful of candidates. It’s a big year for Middletown as longtime head coach Bill Foltmer needs four win to reach 300 for his high school coaching career, which began at Princeton High School in Colusa County in the early 1980s. Foltmer’s first season at Middletown was in 1985. (Photo by Brian Sumpter)
