COWBOYS ALUMNI ENTER THE ALBERTA SPORTS HALL OF FAME
It was an exciting weekend for three Cowboys alumni, who were all selected to the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame. Randy Bec, Reid Miller and Brad Handel all entered as members of the two time National Championship, Calgary Colts. Randy became only the 13th athlete to enter the Hall of Fame twice, having entered in 2010 as a member of the University of Calgary Dinos. Randy was joined, in 2010, by current CHS staff member and former Cowboy, Steve Wiens. Congratulations to all four of these outstanding graduates, who also are members of the Chestermere High School’s Hall of Fame.
