(FOUNTAIN, Colo.) — Lucas Driver, a senior at Fountain-Fort Carson High School, had to grow up quicker than most.

Juggling football, wrestling, school, work, and parenting for Driver has not always been easy, but throughout the journey, he has realized it’s important to appreciate what life brings him.

15 months ago, he introduced a baby boy into the world and shared ‘it’s been a real joy’.

As he gears up for his senior year of high school, his parents, family, sports teams, and friends have been with him every step of the way.
