For much of his life, Tucker Warford has been ingrained in field hockey.

Warford’s sister, Danielle, played the sport at El Capitan High School. So did Amanda Combs, the woman who would become his wife.

“Before I even knew who my wife was, my sister played field hockey with her, and that’s how I met Amanda,” Warford said. “We started dating in high school when I just turned 16, coming into my junior year.

“Field hockey was always a big part of her life. So, it naturally became a part of mine, and we’ve been together since 2006.”

Combs, now Amanda Combs-Warford, ranks 10th in CIF San Diego Section history with 72 career goals and tied for fifth with 48 goals in a single season, which came in 2006. She has been the field hockey coach at La Jolla High School since 2017.
