- Perhaps the most recognized prep sports journalist in the state, Stocker
has covered high school sports for more than 30 years. Stocker started Colorado
Sidelines newspaper in 1971 and published it until 1985. Colorado
Sidelines was a unique publication in the country as it was focused
strictly on prep athletics. It became a staple in high schools across
the state and the Stockers risked much of their personal financial
health keeping the paper afloat.
In 1985, Stocker accepted a fulltime position with the Rocky
Mountain News and his personal publication venture came to an end. But,
throughout that time, Stocker had cultivated a generation of students
and coaches for his News prep reporting career. Stocker founded the Fred
Steinmark Award that has become one of the state’s most prestigious
awards for high school participation and academic success.

Director and held that post until his retirement. During that time, he
has served as board of control member of the Southwestern League and
