In 1953 a talented baseball player played for Colton High named Camilo Carreon. Carreon was an all-around man on the infield. During one of his games, he played with two fractured ribs and broken collarbone. Years later, in the early 1960’s, he played catcher in the major leagues for the Chicago White Sox.
