Beau & Broncos HS 7 on 7 team play in front of 70,000 fans at Invesco Field


The Denver Broncos HS 7 on 7 team played an exhibition last Friday at halftime of the Brocos/Packers game. WHAT A THRILL for the boys as they were all indivdually introduced and shown on the big screen as they ran onto the field.

The team made up of Legacy and Bear Creek players placed third in the NFL sponsored 16 team national tournament in New Orleans, LA this summer.

Beau (next to Legacy WR Travis Sears in sling) enjoyed meeting and playing with his Bear Creek teamates. Bear Creek (Lakewood, CO) is currently ranked #1 in every poll in Colorado and #68 in the country in the Rivals.com/ESPN top 100. QB Zach Thennel threw for 3,168 yards and 33 TD's in 2007. Zach (with the ball) and RB Tommy Flannigan (FR right of Zach) are both pre-season Colorado all-state selections.

Bronco fans may recognize all-time great Billy Thomson (left). Billy travelled with the team and helped coach and became friends and a real inspiration to the team.

These boys could meet again at Invesco on November 29th as both Legacy and Bear Creek were recently named by Scout.com as one of Colorado's "5A Top 10" as favorites to contend for the 5A state title.
Beaus Mom Lisa (Current Lightning Football Booster President) was on hand to document everything with pictures and video. A great night for all.
