Have been visiting assorted preseason football practices recently and stopped at Bishop Machebeuf, on the site of the old Lowry Air Force Base.
It was my kind of scene — I must confess that I was a Catholic-schooler for 12 years.
Anyway, spoke to the Buffaloes new head coach — Lance Viera, who’s fairly extensive experience includes working with a lower level at Regis Jesuit.
“We’re excited and have a lot more kids out,” he said on Thursday.
Viera is replacing Brother Peter Francis, one of the few men of the cloth who were football head coaches.
The Buffaloes are in Class 2A and will compete in the Colorado League against Alameda, Denver North, Denver West, Faith Christian, Kent Denver, Manual and Ridge View Academy.
Stopped by to say hello, speak to the coach and check the home site — the Buffs will play at Aurora Public Schools Stadium, at Hinkley, off Chambers Road.
