Craig Police is reporting a number of fake Colorado Temporary Vehicle license plates. They are being purchased online and through websites. The only place to purchase a tag is the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles. Craig Police Chief Mike Cochran says those selling the fake registration and license plates appear to be targeting the Latino and Nicaraguan community and that is happening almost every day.

In high school sports, first Moffat County…
It is Senior Night for the Bulldogs tonight as they take on Summit at home.
The girls start at 5:30 p.m. Here’s Head Coach Dillon Hoselton about the senior girls.
“They’re great leaders. They’ve been together since they were young. Not real vocal at times but they lead in a different way. Lead by example. I think the young girls really look up to them.”
The Bulldog boys start around 7 p.m. Here is Bulldog Senior Bryant Carlson.
“I definitely love playing with them. I’ve been playing with them since about 6th grade. We’ve all been playing together. I have definitely enjoyed it. I think this senior class has been taking the step to making this basketball program pretty good. I think we’re going to leave it better than we found it.”
Kody May will be at those games doing play-by-play tonight. You can listen on KRAI FM.
Then Saturday, the Bulldogs are on the road, against Delta.
