Kennedy High School is set to be honored this week for its work with Unified Sports.
The school will be recognized at the Special Olympics Colorado Hall of Fame Luncheon this Thursday at the Hyatt Regency in Denver with the Doug Fulton Unified Champion School Kindness Award.
Kennedy recently started its seventh year as a Special Olympics Unified Champion School. The school offers Unified Sports teams for soccer, flag football, bowling and cheerleading.
“The entire school supports a unified model which allows students with and without disabilities to come together and share the importance of inclusion in sport,” according to a release from Denver Public Schools.
The program was started by athletic director Chris Enzminger, Terry Bredehoft, Cami Jensen, Melissa Klomp and Tom Lynch.
Grandview’s Aaron Harris blocked a punt that the Wolves recovered for a touchdown to cut into Eaglecrest’s lead early in the third quarter. They had possession deep in the Raptors’ territory on their next possession, but the drive stalled and the Wolves turned it over on fourth down.
Eaglecrest then went back up 21-7, and held that lead for most of the fourth quarter.
4A: (10) Pueblo West 55, (3) Pueblo South 54 (2OT)
4A Football: @wilkyway22 with the TD, then a subplot… Long snapper hurt, PW thinking of going for it. But a sub long snapper does this pic.twitter.com/R34pANGm40
In a wild one, Pueblo West took down their crosstown foe in two overtimes.
The game was tied at 42 after regulation — but Pueblo West had to rally to get to that point. South led 35-21 at the half, only to see Pueblo West tie the game at 35 in the third quarter.
Roosevelt scored 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to come roaring back and upset the Trojans.
The Roughriders’ defense got their team started with a safety early in the fourth quarter, and then Angelo Hurtado cut it to 12-9 with a 21-yard rushing touchdown.
Four minutes later, Roosevelt’s Trent Beall scored what proved to be the winning touchdown on a 14-yard rush.
Jaydon Elkins had a rushing touchdown for Longmont.

4A: (4) Windsor 40, (8) Broomfield 14
(Steve Oathout)
Windsor jumped out to a 26-0 lead at halftime, and the Wizards kept their foot on the pedal in the second half en route to the big win.
Quarterback Connor Apodaca, a senior, accounted for four total touchdowns, including two through the air.
Big win for No. 6 Holly in 8-man, topping No. 2 Hoehne 33-14.
Gilpin County upset No. 10 Caliche in 8-man, 36-30.
There is once again a tie atop the all-time football wins list. West Grand’s forfeit win over Nederland became official tonight, giving coach Chris Brown his 318th career win.
Prairie, No. 8 in 6-man, is now 3-0 after beating Arickaree/Woodlin 34-14. “You can’t be displeased with 3-0,” coach Justin Kerns told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We’re looking forward to next week.”
Skyview continued its hot start with a 29-3 win over Summit and is now 4-0. Its the first time the Wolverines are 4-0 since 2011.
3A No. 7 Erie’s Noah Roper rushed for 308 yards and four touchdowns in a 47-23 win over Northridge.
Masiah Hudson rushed for 188 yards and four touchdowns on just five carries as Manual beat Sheridan 42-6. Corey Jones added 111 rushing yards and a score.
