  • Valor Volleyball vs. Green Mountain

    Tuesday, September 3, the Valor Christian Eagles took on the Green Mountain Rams in an exciting volleyball match at Valor. It was a rematch for the Rams as Valor has taken the win the previous two years. In the past weekend, the Varsity team went on a retreat in the mountains where they bonded and became better friends. This helped them increase their trust and communication, which would carry them later in the match. After a weekend away, the Eagles were excited to get back on the court to challenge the Rams. The first set started out slowly as both teams got warmed up, but resulted in a win for the Eagles 25-16.

    The Rams took the second set 25-23, although the Eagles fought hard. Motivated by the crowd, Valor came back to win the third 25-21 with great offensive play by senior Kate Gibson and junior Cassidy Wurth. The fourth set was close as both teams played well, making for a very exciting and suspenseful match.  Although Green Mountain won 25-23, Valor showed incredible defense by senior Katie Bradbury and senior Carli McNeily throughout the match. With a win at stake, the Eagles turned on their game once again, increasing their focus.

    They entered the set and immediately scored some important points from their tough serves, bringing them the momentum they needed. As they increased their communication and intensity they pulled out a 15-7 win in the fifth game. Overall, Valor presented their hard work and perseverance, demonstrating the teamwork needed to beat a talented team such as Green Mountain. With a 3-0 win last week against Conifer and a 3-2 win against Green Mountain, the Eagles are prepared to play Dakota Ridge this coming Friday. Go Valor!

  • ThunderRidge, Ralston Valley both move up in football poll ahead of Saturday’s game

    (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)
    (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)

    We’ve got a No. 2 vs. No. 3 showdown on our hands this Saturday in Class 5A football.

    ThunderRidge, following an impressive showing, bumped up one spot from its preseason No. 3 ranking in this week’s CHSAANow.com football poll. And Ralston Valley, the Grizzlies’ opponent this weekend, went from seventh to third after two big wins.

    Valor Christian remained in the top spot, and garnered 22 of the 23 first-place votes. Cherry Creek stayed put at fourth, while Grandview (No. 5) and Pomona (No. 6) swapped spots.

    Columbine is seventh in the 5A ranking, and Cherokee Trail dropped from second to eighth following its loss to Chatfield.

    Regis Jesuit moved up one spot to ninth, and Fairview is the lone new team to the 5A poll, at tenth. The Knights edged Chatfield with 42 total points to the Chargers’ 38. Grandview and Arapahoe are also just on the fringe.

    The 4A ranking continued to be led by Monarch, and added Montrose (No. 5), Loveland (No. 8) and Dakota Ridge (No. 10).

    Wheat Ridge jumped up one spot to second in 4A following its win over Windsor.

    Silver Creek stayed on top of 3A, which added Palisade (No. 8), Lutheran (No. 9) and D’Evelyn (No. 10).

    Platte Valley is the only new No. 1 team among all classifications, having taken over the top spot in 2A following a win over previous No. 1 Kent Denver.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.

    (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)

    Wheat Ridge has overtaken Pueblo East atop the Class 4A CHSAANow.com softball poll.

    The Farmers, off to an 8-0-0 start, were No. 2 last week but moved up to No. 1 by virtue of a 6-0-0 week which included a 7-2 victory over Pueblo East, last week’s top-ranked team.

    Elsewhere, Douglas County went from unranked to No. 3 in the 5A poll, which also added Ralston Valley (No. 8) and Fossil Ridge (No. 9).

    Strasburg continued to lead the 3A poll.
