  • Bear Creek girls soccer gets shutout win over Mesa Ridge

    LAKEWOOD — Before spring break next week Bear Creek’s girls soccer team might be familiar with nearly every single blade of grass at Lakewood Memorial Field.

    The Bears (3-2 record) will have likely played six games at the classic grass field at 10th and Wadsworth Blvd. over the span of 15 days. It would be seven games at LMF, but Monday’s non-league game against Prairie View had to be postponed due to the snowstorm that hit the area Sunday night.

    “It’s a field we definitely want to get used to, keep scoring goals and be consistent,” Bear Creek senior captain Kaitlyn Chavira said after Tuesday’s 5-0 shutout victory for the Bears over Mesa Ridge (0-4).

    Chavira scored a pair of goals in Bear Creek’s 4-goal first half. The senior and a handful of Bears’ starters took a seat on the bench in the second half as second-year Bear Creek coach Owen Plyler gave a lot of playing time to some of his bench players.

    “I liked the result,” Plyler said. “We went with a reserve-based team in the second half. I thought my starters did a really good job making the game look beautiful. We wanted to captivate things that will work against stronger teams we’ll see really soon.”

    Sophomore Brianna Mendias started the scoring at LMF. Mendias chipped in a shot under the cross bar 50 seconds into the game. Chavira scored two minutes later and sophomore Taryn O’Brien scored midway through the first half to push the Bears’ lead to 3-0.

    Chavira beat Mesa Ridge goalie Rebeckah Madden in the 26th minute to make the score 4-0. The senior leads the team with five goals on the season, but knows once Class 5A Jeffco League play begins the competition will get tougher.

    “Our goals is just keep playing as a team and be confident,” Chavira said looking ahead to conference play. “We need to be consistent on what we do. We need to move it up the field and score more goals.”

    Sophomore Alyssa Applegate scored the lone goal in the second half with a breakaway in the 34th minute. Bear Creek goalie Delaney Allington got the shutout victory in net for the Bears.

    It was the first shutout victory of the season for Bear Creek, which helped one of the main goals Plyler has placed on his team.

    “We are trying to improve our goal-differential from last season,” Plyler said. “We want to pick up a few more league wins and see if we are a potentially playoff worthy this year.”

    Bear Creek was outscored 44-18 last year during the 2017 season that ended with a 4-10-1 overall record and 1-6 in 5A Jeffco. The Bears has just two conference wins over the past three seasons.

    “We have to work our way up the ladder in the (Jeffco 5A) league,” Plyler said. “We know if we compete with the teams in our league we can compete with anybody.”

    The Bears return to their home away from home — Lakewood Memorial Field — to face an always competitive Wheat Ridge (3-1) squad at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 22.

    “Wheat Ridge is going to be a good test for us,” Chavira said.

  • Dominant pitching gives No. 5 Pine Creek baseball a shut out against No. 2 Cherry Creek

    COLORADO SPRINGS — Stellar pitching from Pine Creek’s Riley Cornelio and Justin Olsen paved the way for a 7-0 victory over Cherry Creek on Tuesday night.

    The game started as it ended: by a strikeout of Cherry Creek from the Pine Creek mound.

    Cornelio started for fifth-ranked Pine Creek (2-0), and threw five innings for the win over the No. 2 Bruins (3-2). He allowed just two hits and collected an impressive nine strikeouts.

    He was relieved by Olsen in the sixth, and also didn’t allow a hit in his two innings, while striking out four. The duo combined for 13 strikeouts against a very strong Cherry Creek lineup.

    “If you would’ve told me my pitchers would strike out 13 batters from Cherry Creek I would have never believed you,” Pine Creek’s coach Glenn Millhauser said. “They’ve been working really hard and Riley was just dominant this game, so to have a kid like him is really exciting.”

    Pine Creek  took a 2-0 lead on Cherry Creek in the bottom of the first on a few singles and an error that allowed Cade Kleckner and Parker Gregory to score from first.

    After the rough first inning, Cherry Creek’s starting pitcher, Jack Moss, seemed to calm down and get in his groove. However, Pine Creek showed up with its bats.

    From there, Pine Creek continued to add runs to the scoreboard every inning, which included a home run from Olsen, who sent the ball over the right field fence in the third inning.

    “Pitching is definitely one of our biggest strengths,” Millhauser said. “We have four guys that are extremely good and tough, so as long as we can support our pitchers with runs and play good defense, we’re going to be a very tough team to beat.”

    As the top of the seventh inning started, Cherry Creek knew it had a tough wall to climb to get a runner on base, and the win. With pitching at the center, Olsen came out strong and got three-up, three-down to conclude the game and get his team the win.

    “If you have pitching you’re set,” said a smiling Millhauser.

    After Tuesday’s big win over Cherry Creek and the performance from his pitchers, the coach is feeling confident about his team and the rest of the season.

    “I’m feeling very excited right now and I’m very happy for my team,” Millhauser said. “You don’t beat Cherry Creek very often so it’s very fun to do.”

    Pine Creek will host Doherty (2-4) on Wednesday and Cherry Creek will host Regis Jesuit (0-0) on Thursday.

  • No. 2 Jefferson Academy girls soccer seizes opportunity and beats No. 5 Manitou Springs

    MANITOU SPRINGS — With so many chances on each side, it was beginning to feel like whoever converted the first time would come away with a win.

    Mira Houck and Jefferson Academy confirmed that theory. After Manitou keeper Alyssa Holladay denied so many chances for the Jags, Houck was in the right position to convert on a corner kick. That one goal would hold up and Jefferson Academy grabbed a 1-0 in a matchup over two of Class 3A’s top five ranked teams.

    “We knew that they were pretty well prepared for us,” Jaguars coach Denise Sutton said.

    The No. 2 Jags and the No. 5 Mustangs played each other about this point in the season last year. Jefferson Academy got the 2-0 win, but the Mustangs failed to get a shot off all game.

    The Jags (2-0-1 overall) were hoping to repeat that feat again this year, but a more veteran Manitou team proved to be a little tougher to contain. Senior Brooklyn Mack had a couple of looks in the second half and a throw-in from the sideline late in the game put the ball on Olivia McKenna’s foot right in front of the net.

    But Manitou (3-1) just couldn’t convert on any of those chances. The same story was true on the other side of the field. Jefferson Academy had chance after chance to break the scoreless tie but none came to fruition.

    The best chance came in the second half when Rachel Schlagel was awarded a penalty kick. She aimed high and Holladay deflected the ball up and into the crossbar to keep Manitou in it.

    “The goalie was fantastic,” Sutton said. “Wow, she did a great job.”

    The tie was finally broken in the 58th minute as Schlagel launched a corner kick toward the Manitou net and Houck got the ball just over Holladay’s head, putting the Jags on the board.

    “It was such a good ball from Rachel,” Houck said. “We were all so hyped. We always get in a little huddle before hand and figure out who’s going where and we knew we were going to get that one.”

    The Mustangs best chance came on a free kick opportunity right in from of the Jefferson Academy goal box. Junior Caileen Sienknecht took aim at the back-right corner and the ball just off the crossbar.

    McKenna’s chance in front of the net was Manitou’s last opportunity to convert, but they came away empty-handed. This is just the second regular season loss for the Mustangs in the last two years. Both came at the hands of Jefferson Academy.

    “They’re obviously a very talented team,” Manitou coach Ben Mack said. “They controlled the pace for a lot of the first half and we were just trying to frustrate them and create a chance. We thought one (goal) would do it.”

    Each team has one game remaining before heading into spring break. The Mustangs will host Buena Vista and Jefferson Academy travels to The Academy, the defending 3A state champion.

  • New faces dot the lineup as Rocky Mountain baseball begins its title defense

    DENVER — Rocky Mountain is back to defend its state baseball title, but there’s a whole bunch of new Lobos roaming the field this season.

    Coming off of yet another Class 5A championship, the school’s sixth since 2007, Rocky’s lineup has undergone quite a bit of turnover. The team lost eight of nine regular starters, and graduated 10 seniors.

    “I love that about high school baseball,” said Rocky Mountain coach Scott Bullock. “You can’t sign them to long-term deals — there’s a few I’d love to — but that’s high school baseball, and that’s the fun part of it. You try to build a program that’s strong year after year, regardless of how many kids you graduate. That’s the challenge, that’s exciting.”

    The Lobos, ranked No. 3 in 5A this week, got their title defense started off with an 8-3 win over Cherokee Trail on Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field.

    Tyler Mata-Lloyd, a senior and the lone returning regular in the lineup, led the way with a 3-for-3 day that included two RBIs, a triple and a walk.

    “It felt pretty good,” Mata-Lloyd said of the win. “We’re really young right now. We’ve just got to keep practicing, you know, practice the little things right, and it will come.”

    Sam Sanchez, another senior who may be Rocky’s top returning arm, dazzled on the mound with a seven-strikeout performance over three innings in which he didn’t allow a hit.

    “He’s dominant,” Mata-Lloyd said of Sanchez.

    “I don’t think a lot of people know across the state how good Sam is,” Bullock added. “We got us a pretty good No. 1, and we’ve got some good depth behind him.”

    Also back for Rocky with pitching experience from last season are Cody Stevens, Chandler Young, Jake Campbell and Blake Riott. Stevens, Young, Cade Nelson and Mata-Lloyd all threw in relief of Sanchez on Tuesday. Neither Stevens nor Mata-Lloyd allowed a hit.

    “We’re excited about the way we can pitch,” Bullock said.

    On Tuesday, Rocky Mountain (1-0) also had big contributions from Nelson (2-for-3, two RBIs) and Jaren Piepho (two-RBI double). Both are juniors.

    And Hayden Heinze, a senior, was outstanding in center field, tracking down a number of deep balls that would’ve turned into runs. He also scored two runs.

    “At Rocky, it’s not much of a teaching thing. It’s more of a learning thing,” Mata-Lloyd said. “They see how we are, and then they go do it themselves. It’s a culture, and they will live in it.”

    Sanchez likes what he’s seen out of the new group through early-season practice, and Tuesday’s game.

    “I feel like every thought we lost a lot of people, we’ve had a bunch of new guys be able to come up and just take over their places,” the senior said. “Everyone has been playing with each other for a while, so the chemistry is really good. Everyone likes to have fun — we have fun, but we take it seriously. It’s a great group of guys.”

    Cherokee Trail — one of the state’s best programs in its own right, winning the 2016 5A championship, and another in 2007 — is now 2-1 under new coach Steve Eaton. The Cougars, though unranked at this point, could play a big factor as the season wears on.

    CT’s Brendon Johnson came up big in relief Tuesday, striking out six Lobos in 4 1/3 innings. He allowed just one run and five hits. Isaac Hayen, who led the team in innings last season, is also a big arm for the Cougars.

    The Cougars play at Fairview on Friday, while Rocky Mountain will head to California for a tournament that starts on Saturday.

    “That’s a good start for us,” Bullock said of Tuesday’s win, adding, “We’ve got a long ways to go, we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

  • Galan-Browne hits game-winner in Jeffco girls senior hoops all-star game

    LAKEWOOD — Baylee Galan-Browne won back-to-back Class 4A girls basketball state titles, so celebrating on the court is old hat to the Evergreen senior guard.

    Nine days after celebrating on the court at the Denver Coliseum, Galan-Browne had a similar celebration leap and run toward the bench Monday night at the Gold Crown Field House in Lakewood. The Evergreen senior hit the game-winning shot with 7 seconds left in the inaugural Jeffco High School Senior Basketball Game to give the White squad a 78-75 victory.

    “I was like OK, I’m really good at last-second shots so this one is going to go in,” Galan-Browne said with all smiles after the victory. “It went in and I was like, OK. That’s cool. I like that.”

    The final 30 seconds (see video above) was wild. The Blue team held a 75-73 lead, but a fed by Evergreen senior Kristina Schreiber into the post to Ralston Valley senior Samantha Van Sickle was just what White coach Chris Olson wanted. Van Sickle, who was named the White team MVP with 13 points, made a nice move in the post to tie the game at 75-75 with 27 seconds left.

    “The best thing I did was not say anything and just cheer them on,” Olson said. “I just let them do there thing. Having that many great kids was awesome.”

    Olson, D’Evelyn girls basketball coach, was filling in for Evergreen coach Amy Bahl who had to miss the game due to a medical issue with one of her young daughters.

    Two of Bahl’s former players were key in the game-winning basket. After a miss by Lakewood senior Sassy Coleman, Schreiber grabbed the rebound and fired a pass up court to her former Cougar teammate. Galen-Browne, who will play at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich. next school year, pulled up for the 3-pointer that hit nothing but net with 7 seconds to play.

    “We just focused on the little things and pressure on defense,” Galan-Browne said of the White team erasing an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

    Golden senior Abby Garnett, who was named the Blue squad MVP with a game-high 21 points, wasn’t able to get off a shot before the buzzer.

    “It was awesome,” said Garnett of the experience. “I was sitting on the bench and talking with some players that I played with in eighth-grade. Coming back and having that chemistry back right away was so much fun. Win or lose it was so much fun.”

    Garnett is headed to play at Ohio University.

    “It was a great way to end high school for sure,” Garnett said. “It was more fun playing with some Jeffco girls instead of against them.”

    The inaugural Jeffco High School Senior Basketball Games were put on by the Gold Crown Foundation, Jeffco Public Schools and 1stBank.

    Olson had been big on creating a Jeffco all-star game for several years.

    “I’ve been excited for years to put this together,” Olson said. “I’m glad Gold Crown stepped up and Jeffco was with them to get it all together. After this game, girls are going to want to play in it. I want to be apart of it.”

  • Three-point shooting highlights inaugural boys Jeffco HS Senior Basketball Game

    LAKEWOOD — Three-pointers rained down at the Gold Crown Field House on Monday night.

    A total of 37 3-pointers were made during the inaugural boys Jeffco High School Senior Basketball Game put on by the Gold Crown Foundation, Jeffco Public Schools and 1stBank.

    “Nobody guarded at all,” Arvada West coach Jeff Parriott said with a laugh. “I thought both of the teams shot the heck out of the ball.”

    After 40 minutes of a furious pace that didn’t feature much defense … the Blue team coached by Parriott came away with a 136-126 victory.

    “I was just kind of feeling my shot early,” said Lakewood senior Jordan Sandoval, who poured in five 3-pointers on his way to 23 points and being named the MVP for the Blue team. “Coach (Parriott) told me to ‘do you’. I said thank you and that is what I did.”

    Littleton senior Jason Levy was unbelievable in the fourth quarter as the Blue squad pushed its lead to 20+ points. Levy finished with 26 points, including six 3-pointers. He scored 16 points in the final 10 minutes.

    Not to be out done, Golden senior Adam Thistlewood nearly brought the White squad all the way back in the final six minutes.

    “We were up 22, then suddenly it’s down to eight points. I was worried about substitutions and making sure everyone gets their time in the game,” Parriott said of the final quarter. “Thistlewood took over.”

    The future Drake University player poured in 19 points in the fourth quarter on his way to a game-high 31 points and being named the White squad MVP.

    “It was a blast,” said Thistlewood, who helped the Demons to a Class 4A Final 4 appearance his junior season and a 4A Jeffco League title this season. “Seeing all the seniors and playing with and against these guys the past four years … it was great to get out here.”

    The White team has a good balance of scoring with Standley Lake’s Garrett Martin, Jefferson’s Nehemiah Baustian and Columbine’s Mat Bergeman all pouring in 14 points each. Chatfield’s Keland Rumsey poured in 13 points and Golden’s Jack Moore also hit double-digit points with a dozen.

    Besides Levy and Sandoval, the Blue squad was led in scoring by Valor’s Jeremy Randle (18 points), Bear Creek’s Manuel Perez (13 points), Arvada West’s James Pelon (12 points) and Bear Creek’s Jovan Dodig (11 points).

    “It was terrific. What a great opportunity for these kids to come out and play in probably the last game of their career,” Parriott said. “They can showcase their talent a little bit and play with some guys who they played against. Unbelievable experience for these guys.”

    The White team was coached by longtime Evergreen coach Scott Haebe. Nearly every Jeffco League boys basketball coach was in attendance to watch the inaugural Jeffco all-star game that featured the top seniors from the 5A and 4A Jeffco League and Jeffco schools.

    “It was definitely fun with all the competition out here,” Sandoval said. “Getting this together and celebrate these players were really fun.”

  • USA Basketball, NBA recommend shot clock for high school basketball; what does it mean for Colorado?

    Denver Coliseum basketball generic
    (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)

    The use of a shot clock in high school basketball has long been debated. Now USA Basketball and the NBA have weighed in.

    The two organizations released a document on Tuesday outlining age-appropriate rules and standards. Included was the recommendation of a 24-second shot clock for “ninth-12th grade,” saying that it “allows for more possessions for each team, better game flow and additional decision-making opportunities for players.”

    The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has a long-standing rule disallowing the use of a shot clock in the high school game.

    “It is discussed and has been discussed every year at the National Federation every year that I’ve been in charge of basketball in Colorado,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann, who administers basketball in the state. “And the support of surveys from schools, coaches and state associations have not indicated that there’s an overwhelming support for a shot clock in HS basketball at this point.”

    The most recent survey was conducted prior to the 2017 basketball rules meeting, and asked about a 30-second shot clock for boys, and a 35-second shot clock for girls. The results showed that:

    • 57 percent of coaches are in favor of it, with 39 percent against, and four percent not having an opinion. (More than 6,000 coaches nationwide responded, including 357 from Colorado.)
    • Officials were split with 46 percent in favor, 47 percent against, and seven percent having no opinion. (More than 8,000 officials responded nationally.)
    • State associations were decidedly against it (62 percent), with 34 percent in favor, and four percent having no opinion. (A total of 29 states responded, including Colorado.)

    The NFHS had a similar question on this year’s survey. This year’s national basketball rules committee is in April.

    As of June 2017, nine states — including California, Washington, New York, and Maryland — use or have plans to us a shot clock. But those states forfeit their ability to give input to the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee in doing so.

    CHSAA’s basketball committee has debated off-and-on over the past few years whether or not to implement a shot clock. Those in favor of a shot clock echo the USA Basketball and NBA reasoning; those opposed cite the cost of the equipment, as well as installation and hiring a shot clock operator, and have also resisted the change it would make in the game.

    Additionally, the fact that it would take away Colorado’s ability to sit on the NFHS basketball rules committee has stood in the way.

    “That’s a big reason why” CHSAA hasn’t adopted a shot clock independent of national rules, Borgmann said. “We are committed to being able to be a participant in all of the rules committees because we believe it’s an important part of what we do, and it’s an important part of the process for high school athletics.”

    Borgmann said that the 30- and 35-second shot clocks are often proposed so “it is curious that 24 seconds is the time recommended.” (The NBA uses a 24-second shot clock; the NCAA uses a 30-second shot clock.)

    He added that some of the high school associations resist the thought that every level of the sport has to follow the same rules.

    “Every level has something that’s unique and special,” Borgmann said. “That’s the beauty of high school sports, and college sports, and pro sports.”

    That’s not to say Colorado would resist a change if it came from the national level.

    “We would welcome the shot clock if it’s passed by NFHS,” Borgmann said. “These recommendations certainly give everybody something to think about who might not have even thought about moving to a shot clock, and maybe give the supporters more hope that it may be coming.

    “It will be interesting to see the direction the game is going given the input from USA Basketball and the NBA,” he added.
