Football
Gunn senior Cory Hallada will have to get used to snow, Alpine skiing and the rally cry of “Ole” in the fall.
Hallada has signed to play football at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, where competitive sports include Alpine skiing and Nordic skiing.
The Oles last played football in the fall of 2019, finishing the year on a five-game losing streak after winning their first five.
Hallada was a two-way player at Gunn and it appears he’ll be on defense for St. Olaf, possibly a strong safety or linebacker.
