At the end of every football game, Cripple Creek-Victor coach Mark Sampson has his players go to the sidelines to thank their parents, family and friends for coming out and watching them play, no matter the outcome. "It's a little, 'Hey mom, hey dad, I gave you everything I got,' kind of moment with gratitude," Sampson said. Coach Sam is in his second year of head coaching, although he's been around Colorado as an assistant since 1999. Cripple Creek-Victor hadn't won an on-field game since Oct. 30, 2010. But last Friday, Coach Sam and the Pioneers snapped a 35-game losing streak with a 65-31 win over Colorado Deaf & Blind.
