In his time there, Denega covered four high schools and one junior college and collected Wyoming Press Association awards for feature writing, sports news writing and column writing. 

Denega has spent a total of five years in the newspaper business. He started his career at the Minot Daily News in North Dakota covering high school and collegiate sports. After an 18-month stint in Minot, Denega moved to Texas where he worked for the Laredo Morning Times for one year where he, once again, covered high school and collegiate sports.
