Football trophy

Trophy News from Granby, CO

The Panthers of Middle Park High charged to victory in their first home football game of the season, beating Clear Creek’s Golddiggers 30-12 on Friday night.

The win was an excellent recovery for the Panthers, who fell 31-3 to Estes Park’s Bobcats during the season-opener the previous weekend.

“We had a great week of preparation to get ready for Clear Creek, who has a great passing game,” said Middle Park’s coach Marc Loberg. “Everybody on our team, especially our younger players, worked hard to get our varsity ready for this one. This is a win we can build off of.”

Friday’s victory also regained the Mountain Man Trophy for the Panthers, who lost it last year to the Golddiggers. Middle Park has now won the trophy four of the five years of its history.

David Morgan, the ICC president, said it may still switch the trophy tournament, now scheduled for October 2009, if countries continue to express fears over their safety. The concern is that any move will become a precedent ahead of the 2011 World Cup, which Pakistan is jointly hosting with India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Add another piece of hardware to the growing York High tennis trophy case. York High School head tennis coach Josh Budler was recently awarded the 2007-08 NSAA Tennis Coach of the Year award. The honor is Budler’s first. Budler won the award after leading the squad to the Class B state championship last season.

Despite his recent success with the Dukes, Budler is fairly new to the sport.

“I went to Concordia University in 1999 to play soccer,” he explained. “I made some great friends that were on the tennis team. After playing some with them, they talked me into trying the sport out. I haven’t looked back since.”
