Lisa Kunz - Two Gilpin High School students were honored last week for making the Second All Conference Baseball team. Gilpin high school baseball players, along with Nederland and Clear Creek High Schools, played together as one team, the Clear Creek Golddiggers. This combining of teams was necessary due to the low number of students interested in playing baseball in each of the three schools, according to Head Coach Jeff Schuessler. This season is the second time that the three teams played as one and the fourth time that Gilpin teacher Schuessler coached the team. Three players from Gilpin: David Gerhardus (junior), Bobby Garza (sophomore), and Andy Schaffer (senior) each donned the blue and gold of Clear Creek to face opponents from other schools along the Front Range who have similar student population numbers. The Digger’s team played AAA ball in the Frontier League, a tough league comprised of Platt Canyon, Bennett, Sheridan and Denver Academy.
