| Yeah, but can a sauropod play soccer? We've have a couple of stories come across the ol' news desk lately that focus on fancy footwork. One concerns a dinosaur trackway in Ouray, the other Montrose High School's undefeated girls' soccer team. In Ouray, the U.S. Forest Service recently purchased about 27 acres of old mining claims. On this land, along the Silvershield trail, is a dinosaur trackway, or path of footprints. This dino trackway represents a unique find in the world of paleontology, as it is recorded as the largest continuous dinosaur trackway in the world, as well as a rare example of a dinosaur — in this instance a young sauropod — walking in a 270-degree path. You can read our story on Ouray's dinosaur trackway and its recent purchase by the Forest Service here.
While 150 million-year-old footprints certainly inspire awe — so does the footwork on display this season on the Red Hawks' soccer field. So far this season, the MHS varsity squad is undefeated this season. That's nine wins and two tied games. Impressive. A highlight this season was MHS's victory on the road in Durango — ending a 14 year spell of losses to the Demons on the road. A more recent feat: in four of the team's last three games, they've allowed exactly zero goals. Coming up, the team has four games left in the regular season. The Hawks are currently No. 2 in the CHSAA Selection and Seeding Index and they're looking to get a top-four seed in the postseason so they wouldn't have to travel until they get to the semifinals — but with how well the team is playing on the road that may not even matter. You can read about the Red Hawks' winning season here. Have a Good One,
