Gilpin Eagle Shout-out!

This past football season, the Gilpin Football Team finished with a 4 game winning streak, a 7-2 record, and their second winning season in a row against all Central League opponents.

Every football season, the six head coaches of The Central League vote to award players for their achievements throughout the season. Belleview Christian, Front Range Christian, Justice, Lyons, Clear Creek, and Gilpin County voting results made it clear that the Gilpin Football Team had some of the best performances during league play in 2025. Three 1st All-League awards were the most since the 2017 season, and both the Head Coach of the Year and Assistant Coach of the Year went to the Gilpin Football Team as well.

Congratulations to the Gilpin County Eagles Football Team for their drive, determination, and leadership shown during this school year's football season.
