Football: Erie rewrites 2022 heartbreak, punches ticket to 4A finals

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 17:29:48 GMT

ERIE — Woven into Erie’s semifinals victory on Saturday was a bit of the past and even some of the heartbreak from it.A situation reminiscent of last year — when quarterback Blake Barnett fumbled in the waning seconds and just inches away from a deciding score that likely would have put the Tigers into the title game over Broomfield — the Kansas State commit rewrote his preferred ending, this time scoring on a late QB sneak to help lift Class 4A No. 2 Erie past No. 3 Montrose, 25-22, and into its second championship game in three years.“Job’s not finished,” Barnett said when asked if he was glad to change the narrative. “We still got to go play up at CSU.”ERIE: Erie’s Blake Barnett leaps while throwing against Montrose in the Class 4A football semifinals Saturday, November 25, 2023.

After Kelly Zhao earned a master’s degree in ethnic studies from UCLA last year, she followed the lead of so many other young graduates thrust into a competitive job market: She moved back in with her parents while she looked for work.Upon returning to her childhood home in Pittsburg, Zhao, 25, soon found a job with a local advocacy group, making around $70,000 a year. But even then, she said, renting an apartment just doesn’t make financial sense right now, especially while contributing around $1,500 a month toward her parents’ mortgage.“I realized that it’s going to be really hard to move out,” said Zhao, whose younger sister, also in her 20s, lives with the family, too. “I think I’ll be at home at least for another year or two. That’s just something that I expect.”Zhao’s dad is ill and struggling to make ends meet, and she anticipates continuing to help with the home loan even after she eventually finds a place of ...
