  • Delgado to step into limelight

    Alberto Delgado wants to be a big part of reinventing the football program at Clear Creek High School. It seems as if head coach Brian Inman will give him his chance.

    Inman said the main goal of the Golddiggers’ offense will be to get the ball into Delgado’s hands and let him make things happen in open space, where he should be pretty tough to bring down.

    “He’s going to be our secret weapon, only he might not be a secret after our first game,” Inman said.

  • Position change helps Manning

    Steven Manning has a simple philosophy as to what it will take for him to improve on his junior season.

    “Just not get tired,” the Conifer senior middle linebacker said. 

    If statistics are a measuring stick, he certainly didn’t appear to be too fatigued in 2010. The 5-foot-11, 205-pounder recorded 80 tackles — 48 solo — and five sacks. He also had 16 tackles for loss. 

    Those numbers were quite impressive, but they did little to help a young Conifer team avoid the growing pains that came with a 3-7 season.

  • QB Ansley, backfield on the run

    Rob Molholm’s outlook is a pretty simple one: More is better. The more running backs he has the more success the Evergreen Cougars will enjoy.

    That certainly was the case in 2010 when the Cougars went 8-3, finished second in the 3A Metro South Conference and qualified for the playoffs for just the sixth time in school history. And 2011 could be much the same with Evergreen returning seven of its top eight rushers, who combined for 2,016 yards and 24 touchdowns.

  • Conifer Library supporters make case against closure

    Conifer Library supporters made a case at the Aug. 18 library board meeting against closing the community’s branch library, saying only trivial savings would result from the closure.

    But the board has a limited number of options in crafting a perpetually unsustainable budget, nearly all of which will result in some form of decreased services.
