Even though it s his job to be the inspirational guy, Denver South s Ryan Marini can t help but be inspired by football players.
He s seen a player lose his house to a fire and the team also had to deal with the tragic loss of teammate Davarie Armstrong to a shooting last summer. After an 18-15 win over Vista PEAK on April 17, the Ravens were voted as the top Class 5A team in the state.
They played with heavy hearts and it had fueled an undefeated regular season. Marini is the guy who takes charge of the team but he s also the first one to say it s his guys who make this team special, not the coach. Still, it takes the right kind of leader to help these young men through the tragedies that they have dealt with and push them to be at their absolute best, both in football and in life.

Pat Engle has learned a lot in his time as a football coach. He s been through his ups and downs while coaching for selfish reasons and later, the right reasons.
He s taken teams to battle against some of the best squads the state has to offer. This season, he s seeing the success of that work as the Demons remain undefeated and sit at No. 2 in the Class 3A football rankings.
Oh, by the way, they went on the road to get a win over Basalt, who held the No. 1 ranking in the classification last week. That win alone is worthy of some recognition. That recognition comes in the form of being named the Broncos High School Coach of the Week.
