Chadron ends 17-year run with Blazers

TORRINGTON – Since 1995, the Chadron (Neb.) High School Cardinals have been a staple in the Torrington Trailblazers non-conference football schedule.

Second-year Blazer’s coach Mark Lenhardt explained that the Nebraska High School Activities Association is encouraging its teams to play in-state competition.

In those 17-years, it was a one-sided affair. During that stretch, Torrington was 1-16 against Chadron.
