Panthers fall to Skiers, 48-6

MEEKER — The Rangely Panther Football team traveled to Aspen to enjoy their nice turf football field. Unfortunately, that was the only thing the Panthers were able to enjoy.
Aspen out-muscled Rangely all night long. They were the league champions at the 2A division last year but they graduated 17 seniors from that team.
The Panthers were hoping to compete and play with the Skiers, but that was not the case. Rangely gained only 73 yards on the evening to Aspens 274 and lost the contest 48-6.
Highlights for the Panthers included a touchdown pass from Kanden Brady to Ron Urie of 14 yards. Being out from football for the past two years, Ron Urie, senior transfer, was excited to get his first high school touchdown. Other highlights came from special teams under the direction of coach Mike Cushman. Clark Worrall had a nice 39-yard kickoff return up the middle. Clark is junior who has moved up to starting corner and done an excellent job. Kindal Cushman did a great job punting throughout the game with a long punt of 43 yards.
The Panthers still have two more non-league contests. Rangely will host 2A Coal Ridge Friday starting at 7 p.m. and then will play host to Grand Junction JV on Thursday, Sept. 18, starting at 6 p.m. Come out and support the Panthers.

  • Mormon crickets have hatched near Rangely. They were all sighted on BLM land north of Hwy. 64 near the junction of CR 96 and CR 1, down a dirt road near the Moffat County line.  The picture shown was taken yesterday by Mary Meinen from Rangely. She says the crickets are about the size of a ladybug (less than 1/2”). Some of them are actually yellow in color but most of them are darker. They are milling around and getting ready to start moving soon. Note: Photo is not to scale.
Rio Blanco County and the White River and Douglas Creek Conservation Districts are still asking for your help to identify additional hatch-outs of crickets so that control efforts can be put in place. The success of the program will highly depend upon local landowners and the public helping to locate crickets as soon as they hatch.  See last week’s paper for a list of ways to help or contact the County Weed & Pest District at 970-878-9670 or the Conservation District office at 970-878-9838 with any questions.
