BROOMFIELD, Colo. — After leading the Broomfield Eagles to their first state football championship since 1984, Canon Juarez is now preparing for basketball season.
The only problem is, 9NEWS and Scotty Gange weren't ready to close the book on the football celebration just yet!
Juarez was sensational in the state championship game, hauling in an amazing one-handed catch, recording an interception, and scoring a touchdown too!
His remarkable play won him the MVP of the game and a swag chain surprise!
As Gange stepped in his math class, Juarez was elsewhere on campus, collecting his hoops gear from his basketball coach.
The senior came into class moments after to a big shock as he was awarded the 9NEWS Colorado high school athlete of the week!
