Sacco Sez: Beake family's impact felt throughout Colorado youth football

The National Football Foundation Colorado Chapter recently held its annual banquet honoring the top 14 high school senior student-athletes and lifetime achievement award winners.

One award at the dinner went to Marcia and John Beake (who was of course the Broncos' general manager from 1985 through 1998). They worked quietly in the background doing service for Colorado youth football for decades.

That's how their plaque read, and we on the board of directors made sure it was so: Marcia and John Beake.

John began his coaching career at Nyack (N.Y.) High School, where his teams lost only four games over the course of six seasons and then at the New York Military Academy.
