Football..
Moffat County is at HOME at 7 p.m. Friday vs. Grand Valley for Senior Night.
Nick Colgate is the head coach of the Moffat County Bulldogs, which has 12 seniors on the team.
“We have a lot of seniors and they have produced on offense this year. Pretty excited to see them on their senior year and on their way out of high school and make a statement on Moffat County Football.”
After the game, Moffat County High School and Middle School students are invited to Survivor Games. That’s in the gym, and hosted by Partners for Youth in Moffat County.
The BIG rivalry is Hayden, at Soroco at 7 p.m. tonight in Oak Creek. Here is Soroco Head Coach Casey Hill.
“Hayden is our Super Bowl. So no matter how the season goes, whether wins or losses, it pretty much culminates down to that Hayden game. Like if we can put together a good game and a good match, and come out on top, I mean, that makes our season.”
Soroco Senior Dorian Hotchkiss transferred to Soroco from Hayden, in middle school.
“Personally, it’s been a super big rivalry because they all are upset that I transferred schools and all that. And now, I am determined to do the best I possibly can and lead my team to beat them.”
