Patience isn’t one of Richie Castruita’s strong suits. Luckily for West Hall, the junior timed his goal-scoring runs to perfection on two separate occasions to help lead the Spartans (11-1-2) to their second straight appearance in the state semifinals. Castruita scored a natural hat-trick within the opening 25 minutes as West Hall rolled over Coahulla Creek 4-0 in Saturday’s Class AAA quarterfinal match at Spartan Field in Oakwood.
