- Craig resident nabs four national trail riding awards
- March 26, 2012
- In 51 years of North American Trail Ride Conference competitions, no horse and rider team has ever won the organization’s top four national awards in the same year. That changed in 2011 when Craig resident Ken Wolgram, 47, and his 12-year-old half Arabian, half quarter horse, Awesomes Fire N Ice, blazed a new standard. Wolgram, a native Coloradan and Craig resident since he was 12, has been riding since he was 5 and competitively for the last 15 years. He took home the NATRC President’s Cup for high point horse in the nation and the Jim Menefee award for combined horse and horsemanship in 2002.
- MCHS basketball seniors reflect on one last game
- March 26, 2012
- Melissa Camilletti and Annie Sadvar were understandably nervous heading into Sunday’s Colorado Coaches of Girls’ Sports all-state basketball game in Arvada. Teaming up with and competing against 14 of the top Class 4A seniors in the state would shed light on how good the two Moffat County High School seniors are as players. Once the game got going, however, Camilletti said their worries were put to rest and they just played their game. And, while the game was to recognize the top players in Colorado, a 76-67 victory for Camilletti and Sadvar’s team was a welcome achievement.

- KU and UK join Louisville and Ohio St. in Final 4
- March 26, 2012
- One game is a grudge match between teams that know each other all too well. The other is a rare rematch between virtual strangers. The Final Four is set. In one game Saturday, Kentucky will play Louisville in an intrastate rivalry that puts Cardinals coach Rick Pitino against the school he once coached, then later alienated by returning to the Bluegrass to lead its archrival. In the other semifinal, it will be Ohio State and Kansas, meeting for only the ninth time in their history but for the second time this season. The Jayhawks won the first game 78-67 in Lawrence, Kan., back on Dec. 10. Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger sat out of that game with back spasms. It was the first time the teams had met since 1999-2000.
