EATON REDS DAY
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2021
WHEREAS, under the lights of the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl on the Colorado State
University —Pueblo campus, the Eaton Reds football team battled the Brush Beetdiggers in the
Class 2A state championship game on Saturday, November 27; and
WHEREAS, the game showcased Eaton's ability to overcome adversity. With the game tied 7-7
at halftime, Brush took a narrow 14-13 lead late in the third quarter; and
WHEREAS, the Reds answered back emphatically in the fourth quarter. Eaton senior Ethan
Florez, named the game's Most Outstanding Player, scored his second touchdown of the game to
give the Reds the lead, and a late game touchdown by junior Ryder True secured the 26-14 state
championship win; and
WHEREAS, the state championship is the second consecutive for the football program and caps
off a season that saw the Reds post a perfect 13-0 record. While players, coaches and parents
should be commended for their team's success, equally impressive is the teamwork, work ethic
and determination shown by our young people in pursuit of a goal. Those traits will serve them
well moving forward and are ones we admire in all Weld County residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the Board of Weld County Commissioners that
the 22nd day of December 2021, be known as Eaton Reds Day. Congratulations to players,
coaches and parents on a truly remarkable accomplishment.
