Football
Norwood won 24-22 in Mancos on Friday, an 8-Man Mountain league game written up when the result landed. The Bluejays’ season record is 6-2, of which 2-1 is league.
Volleyball
Telluride took a 3-1 win at Mancos on Tuesday evening, and Rehoboth Christian, from New Mexico, won 3-0 there on Saturday morning. Neither result enters the league table, so the Bluejays’ league mark stays where it was, 3-2. Across all opponents they are 8-10.
Next at home
Three home dates in three days. Volleyball meets Nucla on Thursday, October 22, junior varsity from 4:30 p.m. and varsity from 6 p.m., both league matches. Varsity football then hosts Del Norte at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 23 — a league game the school’s athletics calendar flags as senior night and homecoming. Volleyball rounds the run off against Ridgway on Saturday, October 24, junior varsity at 11 a.m. and varsity at 12:30 p.m.
