Pedraza was a winner at quarterback everywhere he went, and starting with high school and extending through college into the semi-pro ranks.
With Donna High School in 1961, Pedraza led the Redskins to the state title by engineering five straight wins on the road. At Sul Ross State he guided the Lobos to a 10-0 season and a bowl game in 1965, gaining Little-All America honors.
Then, he paced the San Antonio Toros to a league title in 1967, making the All-TFL team after the championship run during which he completed 60 percent of his passes in 21 total games.
Pedraza was a great passer and leader who could tuck it and run when the situation called for it. He won titles and individual awards for every team he ever played for and went on to several coaching stops after his playing days ended.
