Coach Luke Blanchard
Hometown: Vacaville, CA
High School: Vacaville High School
Contrary to popular belief, the scrawny white guy that makes the line-up and can always be found on the bench is not Allen Colborn, but Luke Blanchard. As you may have already guessed, Luke is not your average 23 year old skipper. Usually when a man reaches his early 20s, it is the time when he finds his purpose in life. Luckily for Luke, he was able to speed up his maturation process exponentially by locking himself in his room when he was 18 and listening to Drake’s album “Take Care” all night while watching rain drops drip down his window. Ever since that fateful night, Luke has decided that he will live life by making choices that will benefit him in the short term, but end up haunting him in the long run. The first of many questionable decisions made by Luke was not once attending his freshman Anatomy class all semester. This decision proved to be fatal after Luke got a girlfriend and didn’t know that he was capable of performing tasks similar to the ones he watches religiously online via his 2nd generation iPod touch in the dead of night. Luke has been on the record multiple times whispering “Yolo” under his breath before carrying out certain tasks. This might be crucial in explaining why he already has a kid and why in God’s name he would volunteer to be the club baseball manager.
