THE OBVIOUS DISCONNECT
In the Press For The Wrong Reasons! CHSAA Says Soccer Official Made Right Call in 4A Final (Denver Post) Suspensions in Regis-Mullen Baseball Melee (Denver Post)
The Big Blow Up Dave Logan Out as Mullen Football Coach. (Denver Post) Mullen Fires Dave Logan as Football Coach. (MaxPreps) Logan Emotional After Firing, Wants Mullen To Keep Focus On Winning. (CBS Denver) One Man s Thoughts On Dave Logan s Firing. (Fort Lupton Press)
NOTABLE QUOTES It felt like our football coach was our principal (DENVER POST) The state championships that we won, they (weren t) for Mullen, they were for the players and the coaches, never for the school, those are ours. (DENVER POST)
EDITORIAL IN DENVER POST will it (Mullen) issue Logan an apology for damaging his reputation apparently without sufficient cause?
