It was an great Flag Football season for the kids from Colo Nesco as both teams played very well and both improved throughout the year. As a combined team the Vikings and Chiefs should make for a strong athletic foundation to continue building on the success of the High School program in the coming years. Players and parents should take pride in the success of the teams and continue to realize that when we play as a team, not as individuals, we can compete with any school. Football is the ultimate team game and any team working together and striving towards a common goal can achieve success on the football field. Thanks to all parents and players with a special thank you to all the other coaches
on a great year!! Thank you also to Lauri Dodd for the wonderful pictures and to my wife, Amber for all the sideline report keeping, tolerance of football equipment in the dining room, and logistical coordination work she does to keep everything somewhat organized and running smoothly. See everyone in winter sports (right?) Basketball and wrestling forms are available on this site and should have been sent home from school. Make sure to get them in before the deadline so we can make sure we get started on-time with practices.
