Monday night, Erik Melgoza, Alamosa athletic director, presented Mike Burkett with the Colorado High School Coaches Association Ceal Barry Award in recognition of Burkett's contributions to the high school girls basketball coaches and athletes in Colorado. Burkett retired last year after 21 years as the St. Mary's girls coach. His teams won back-to-back state championships in 2018 and 2019, and were on the verge of winning their third in 2020 when the state tournament was canceled due to the pandemic.
