Craig sports briefs: MCHS girls cross-country makes state top 10

Craig Daily Press Staff Report

— The Moffat County girls cross-country team made the most recent statewide ranking in Class 3A.

The Bulldogs were voted the ninth-best team in the state in 3A by sports writers from across the state, earning 29 points in the rankings at http://www.chsaanow.com. They were just one point behind eighth-place Frontier Academy and three behind Alamosa for the seventh spot.

The top five in the 3A poll have not changed all season, with No. 1 Salida garnering all 10 first-place votes in the most recent poll.



The Bulldogs host their home meet at 9 a.m. Saturday at Loudy-Simpson Park.

Still no date for Berthoud soccer game reschedule

The MCHS boys soccer team was set to host Berthoud on Sept. 14, but after flooding hit the area, Berthoud could not make it out to Craig.



As of Friday, there still was no date and time set for the make-up game. The original plan was to play it sometime this week.

Moffat County’s schedule picks up next week with three Western Slope League games. The Bulldogs travel to Colorado Rocky Mountain on Tuesday and Grand Valley on Thursday, then host Vail Mountain on Sept. 28.

The Bulldogs play three games in each of the following three weeks, as well.

There is a possibility of the game being abandoned if it takes too long to reschedule because it is not a mandatory league contest.

Parks and Rec seeking football, basketball officials

The Craig Parks and Recreation youth football season is approaching quickly, and the league is looking for officials.

Officials must be at least 14. For more information about football, contact Craig Parks and Rec at 970-826-2006. For basketball, call 970-826-2004.

Pool league in Craig seeking more players for Sunday

The Craig Billiards Congress of America pool 8-ball league was set to begin Sunday but still is seeking members for its Sunday league.

The Monday league played as expected this week with six teams. Sundays have been postponed to begin Sept. 29 now to allow current teams time to find more players. If there still are not enough players then, BCA could choose to cancel Sunday play, according to an email from the league.

Craig BCA plays at 5 p.m. Sundays and at 6 p.m. Mondays at Popular Bar, 24 W. Victory Way.
