Cork and Trilla Bornhoft earn coveted Super Booster honor

The final pitch has been throw, the last hurdle has been jumped and the Haxtun Bulldogs celebrated with the annual Booster Club banquet. To wrap up this year's athletic successes, the Bulldog Booster Club honored athletes as well as Super Boosters at the end of May during a ceremony at the Haxtun Community Center.

The 2022 Super Booster award went to Cork and Trilla Bornhoft. The long-time community members raised four children in the Haxtun School District, the same one Trilla graduated from in 1958. Cork graduated from Fleming but later settled in as a Haxtun Bulldog.

The Bornhofts have been Booster members for more than 40 years. Trilla took an active role in the organization while raising their kids, from 1978 to 1999, while Cork ran the chains at home Bulldog football games. In his 25 years on the chain gang, Cork missed less than a handful of games.

Now, the Bornhofts are avid Bulldog fans, watching from the stands at home games and at home via technology when available as many of their grandchildren have also worn a Bulldog jersey. Cork and Trilla were honored with a commemorative plaque and a special poem read aloud by Booster member Alicia Schram.
