If you think you are great at cornhole, you most likely will still lose to many students at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch.

High School Sports Expanding in Colorado

You will see many more scholarships for various sports across the country. For example, eSports is now a varsity sport at universities and students can get a full ride for their skills.

The next time you hear that only losers spend their time playing video games, use that for an argument.

Cornhole: Is It a Real Sport?

Cornhole is a legitimate sport for Colorado and many other states in the United States. Jaxson Remmick and Gavin Hamann are students at ThunderRidge High School. The school has a strong cornhole program.

This pair won back-to-back high school championships and is now becoming the biggest stars in the relatively new sport.

National Signing Day in Colorado

Last week was National Signing Day for high school athletes. When you hear about National Signing Day you usually think about common such as football, basketball, volleyball, or soccer. Remmick and Hamann showed that sports are evolving.

The pair signed letters of intent to play division one cornhole for Winthrop University. This four-year university is in South Carolina.

According to their high school coach, the scholarships are not for a full ride, however, the coach feels extremely optimistic that full rides will happen once the sport becomes more commonplace.
