  • Collins leads No. 8 Wray football past Wiggins

    (Photo: Daniel Stoeber)

    Eighth-ranked Wray football started fast and used the first-half cushion it built en route to a 40-6 win over Wiggins on Friday.

    “I thought the team played well on both sides of the ball,” Wray coach Levi Kramer said. “I was really proud of how physical we played.”

    Wray scored just three plays into the game, when Tyler Collins found Junior Arambula for a 29-yard score. Later in the first quarter, Collins hit Bryant Schoenthal to make it 12-0.

    In the second, Collins had rushing scores of 53 and 57 in the second quarter, and then a 55-yard pass to Schoenthal, which made it 32-0 at halftime.

    After the break, Dillion Schmidt added a four-yard touchdown for Wray, pushing the lead to 40-0.

    “Our line blocked exceptionally well tonight and our receivers ran very well after the catch,” Collins said. “I was most proud of how our defense played, we worked as a unit and our execution was great. It’s fun to be competing again.”

    Cole Kerr had Wiggins’ lone touchdown.

    Wray moves to 2-0, and and will face Jefferson on Saturday. Wiggins will play at Holyoke on Friday.

  • Broncos’ Dalton Risner, a Wiggins grad, sends message of support to football players

    (Paul L Dineen/Flickr)

    Dalton Risner has always been a huge supporter of high school sports in Colorado.

    A former four-sport athlete who graduated from Wiggins in 2014, the current guard for the Denver Broncos often returns for games in his hometown, where is father, Mitcheal, remains the football coach.

    On Wednesday, unprompted, Risner sent out a video on the Broncos’ social media channels offering his support to football players after their season was moved to the spring:

    “Hey everybody, Dalton Risner here,” he said in the video. “I heard the news about the Colorado high school football season being moved to the spring. I just want to let everyone know that we have your back. We’re going to be supporting you, the Denver Broncos support you, and I support you.

    “I know it’s going to be hard, but you guys keep pushing through,” Risner continued. “It’s all going to be worth it, and we’re going to make this work, and we’re going to get through it together. God bless, and Go Broncos.”
