Catron Officers To Play In 9-1-1 Bowl

By John Larson

Two Catron County law enforcement officers will be butting heads with firefighters this Saturday, July 17, in the Second Annual “Fire Fighters vs. Law Enforcement” football game in Albuquerque – the 9-1-1 Bowl.
“This is full contact football. It’s fun to watch,” Undersheriff Ian Fletcher said. “It’s guaranteed hard hitting. Real football.”
This is the second year Fletcher and Goetz will be playing on the law enforcement team.
“Players come from all over the state, but the cops’ team is mostly from the Albuquerque Police Department,” Fletcher said. “Our team should have about 40 players.”
He said his team has been practicing for the big game for about 10 weeks.
“The purpose is a fundraiser to assist firefighters and law enforcement officers for illnesses and treatments,” Fletcher said. “Some of the money also goes to the Team Conner Cancer Foundation, and New Mexico Boys and Girls club.
“Plus as an added attraction, this year we have Houston Alexander, the mixed martial arts champion from Omaha coming in for a meet and greet,” he said.
Kick-off at Wilson Stadium in Albuquerque is 6 p.m. Saturday, with tailgating starting at 3 p.m.
Ticket prices are $10 per person.
