  • Football roundup: Durango beats Delta in OT with lone field goal

    It was a strange start to the season for the Durango and Delta football teams.

    First, their game was delayed 40 minutes by lightning, according to the Durango Herald, and then nobody scored.

    The game, tied at 0-0 after regulation, went to overtime.

    On its possession, Delta, which is ranked No. 4 in Class 2A, got down to the 1-yard-line, but then fumbled a third-down snap.

    Durango, a 3A program, then got its shot in OT — and senior Harrison Kairalla kicked a 23-yard field goal to win. It was redemption from having missed an attempt late in the fourth quarter.

    “I don’t even remember what happened,” Kairalla told the Durango Herald. “It was crazy. I’ve never had anything like that happen to me before.”

    Chatfield falls during out-of-state trip

    Chatfield traveled to Florida during Zero Week, and faced a tough Braden River team. The Chargers fell, 49-32.

    The game was tight in the first half, with the two teams trading scores.

    Chatfield, ranked No. 4 in the 4A preseason poll, held leads of 13-7 and 20-14, but went into the break trailing Braden River 28-20.

    The Chargers continued to battle in the second half, but were never able to close the gap.

    Braden River features South Carolina commit Deshaun Fenwick, who had four touchdowns.

    “He had something in him where I was like, ‘Woah,’” Chatfield coach Bret McGatlin told the Bradenton (Fla.) Herald.

    But Braden River was equally as impressed with Chatfield.

    “They were good,” Fenwick told the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune of Chatfield. “They were a good team, I’m not going to lie.”

  • CHSAA launches #BackMyTeam, a sportsmanship and school spirit contest for student sections

    CHSAA is launching a new contest where student sections can showcase their school spirit and sportsmanship.

    The new contest, called #BackMyTeam, is encouraging students to show how they best support their school’s athletic teams in sporting and creative ways.

    In order to enter the contest, students and school will submit photos or video (or both!) on Twitter and Instagram by including the hashtag #BackMyTeam and also mentioning the official @CHSAA account. Submissions must come from an official school, administrator or team account, not personal accounts.

    “Our goal is to recognize some of these great student sections we have throughout the state while also encouraging good sportsmanship and school spirit,” said CHSAA associate commissioner Tom Robinson, who oversees sportsmanship for the Association.

    #BackMyTeam will award seasonal winners, which are selected following a week-long vote of three finalists. The winners will receive an award for their athletic department, and will be recognized at some of the biggest events of the season. The fall winner will be announced at the 4A/5A football championships, winter’s winner will be recognized at state basketball, and the spring winner will be unveiled at state track.

    All winners will also be featured on CHSAANow.

    Each season will be split into three submission periods. One finalist will be selected each period. Those periods are detailed on the #BackMyTeam page.
