Arvada West’s AD Casey Coons Inducted Into Hall of Fame

ARVADA, CO — By Dennis Pleuss for CHSAANow.com/Jeffco Casey Coons has been involved in football across Colorado for more than four decades.

From his high school playing days at Lincoln High School in the mid-1970s to this year being his first as Athletic Director at Arvada West High School. Coons received the honor of being inducted into the Western Colorado University’s Mountaineer Sports Hall of Fame class of 2018 on Sept. 14.

Coons found out about going into the HOF last summer. He received a call from current Western Colorado football coach Jas Bains to officially give Coons the news.

“I told him (Bains), ‘It must be a slow year,’” Coons joked. “It is a nice honor.”
