The UNC Bears fall to CSU 38-17 in Ft. Collins on Saturday. Quarterback Peter Costelli threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns in a gritty effort in front of a hostile crowd. Tight End Fisher Clements hauled in a touchdown pass as did Brayden Munroe as he used his speed after the catch to get to the endzone. Munroe also had an incredible catch later and five other receivers (two tight ends) caught the ball in traffic also. Kicker Hunter Green kicked his longest at UNC with a 53 yarder in the third quarter. The defense saw LB Payton Polson return to CSU with 9 tackles and freshman Safety Cam Chapa registered 13. Numerous players stepped up but the first punt return helped put the Bears in a difficult situation on the road. Thank you for supporting my work. I appreciate each of you. I will have UNC Bears Weekly coming up soon for supporters only. Please consider becoming a monthly supporter for the cost of a cup of coffee! GO BEARS! #BearWitness #STBC
UPDATE: Winter conditioning and spring football can sometimes be a grind so Carson Keach had a little fun last week following an interception. The sophomore from Ponderosa HS in Parker, CO executed his best cartwheel downfield after picking off a pass. Two more weeks of spring football remain for the UNC Bears.

UPDATE: Redshirt Jr. Rocco Traore enters his fourth season with the UNC Bears football program. However, this is his first month playing running back at the college level. He was a great running back in high school in the Seattle area but was more valuable as a defensive back in Greeley the past three years. He's seen a lot during his time with the Bears including teammates leaving like Carver Cheeks and Noah Mangham did last week. Rocco takes it all in stride.

Good Morning: Happy Easter! One of the spiritual leaders on the UNC Bears team is R-Jr. LB Jordan Davis (32) who always has a smile on his face and puts team first. He was a star at Cherokee Trail HS in Aurora and his dad played running back at Kansas with the Jayhawks in the late 90s. Davis is one of those guys you have to have in order to enjoy success in college football.
