From a story in the Denver Post headlined Meet the Gold Helmet finalists: 6 Colorado high school football players who embody excellence on and off the field (LINK):
Jordan Leslie
On the field: Committed to play football for Dartmouth, Leslie has been a star on both the Mustangs’ football and basketball teams over the past two seasons. After joining the football program as a junior, Leslie took off as a pass-catcher and returner, culminating with a senior year that saw him catch 41 passes for 705 yards and compile 1,711 all-purpose yards and 13 total TDs (10 receiving, 3 punt returns).
Off the field: A peer tutor and mentor, Leslie carries a 4.25 GPA while also volunteering his time with the Denver Dream Center. He has participated in community outreach programs such as organizing Thanksgiving baskets, clothing drives and basketball camps for families around the Denver metro. A member of Athletes in Action, he has also participated in volunteer trips to places like Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico.

Speaking of Dartmouth players and their off-the-field work, Josh Greene, who wrapped up his career as a fifth-year long-snapper this fall, has posted this:
Reflecting on my time with the @allstate @weareafca #GoodWorksTeam, I'm grateful for all of my charitable experiences both in South Florida and at Dartmouth. I'm eager to continue this journey of service and learning!#ad #sponsored pic.twitter.com/tGFX5gjVmM

EXTRA POINT
A couple of weeks ago it looked like a sure thing but drenching rain and above-freezing temperatures mean it will not be a white Christmas here in the Upper Valley this year. We did get a dusting last night that covered our driveway but even with a pewter sky hiding the sun this morning it is just about gone and there's no snow in the forecast.
