  • Legendary wrestling coach Ray Barron passes away

    (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

    Ray Barron, the legendary wrestling coach, passed away early Monday morning. He was 70.

    Barron was a wrestling coach for 50 years, the majority of which was spent at Heritage for 34 years. He spent the past five seasons at Columbine, and also coached at Fort Lupton.

    His historic career saw his teams post a record of 495-181-6 in dual meets. Barron guided more than 50 wrestlers to place at the state tournament.

    He is a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the National High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame, and the Colorado High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

    Barron didn’t limit himself to wrestling. He was an assistant football and track coach at Heritage during his time there, and in recent seasons, he did the same at Columbine.

    (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

    Barron grew up in Colorado, and was a former three-sport athlete at Hinkley. Professionally, he was a history teacher at Fort Lupton, in Worland (Wyo.) — where he also coached — and Heritage.

    Barron was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer earlier this year, and the 2020 state wrestling tournament saw wrestlers, coaches, referees and officials greet the coach with plenty of handshakes, hugs and well-wishes.

    “It’s nice. It’s real nice,” he said of the support in February.

    After the 2020 tournament, Barron was named the 5A wrestling coach of the year.

    But Barron’s impact extended beyond awards, wins and state championships. His legacy lies in the lessons he taught as a coach, and the empathy, compassion and respect he showed others.

    “My heart was sad when I heard the news, but also inspired by the grit and determination coach modeled in fighting until the end,” said CHSAA commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green. “He motivated ‘old school’ and impacted so many by just being him.”

    Skyline and Longmont have new entires in the football record book after their high-powered offenses met on Friday night.

    The two teams combined to score 50 points in the second half of their game, which Skyline won 51-38.

    • Skyline’s offense amassed 775 yards of total offense, which is the eighth-most in state history.

    • Skyline’s Silva also had 149 yards rushing, giving him 388 yards of total offense. He had six total touchdowns.

  • Football roundup: Legend upsets Regis Jesuit in 5A top-10 matchup

    (Corey Guildner)

    Legend picked up a major top-10 win on Friday night.

    The Titans, ranked No. 10 in Class 5A, built on a hot start en route to a 31-7 road upset of No. 7 Regis Jesuit.

    The win was led by seniors Kalen Shoemaker and Connor Eise, who each had two touchdowns: Shoemaker with one throwing and one rushing, and Eise with two on the ground.

    Legend is now off to a 3-0 start for the second consecutive season, and the win marked a program first for the Titans, who had yet to beat Regis Jesuit. The schools met each of the past two seasons.

    Five minutes in, Legend took a 7-0 lead when Eise snuck in on the left side from 1-yard out.

    Then early in the second quarter, on third down, Shoemaker rolled to his right and threw back left, finding Carter Helfrich on a 10-yard score that made it 14-0.

    A few minutes after that, Shoemaker dashed 90 yards on the ground to make it 21-0.

    Regis scored just before halftime to cut the lead to 21-7 when Dervin Taylor scored up the middle from 10 yards out.

    Legend added a 25-yard field goal from Caden Smith, and it was 24-7.

    In the fourth, Eise capped the scoring with a 25-yard touchdown.

    6-man: (1) Fleming 32, (5) Prairie 8

    Scoreless at halftime, and a one-score game after three quarters, Fleming broke things open to come up with a major top-5 win on Friday night.

    “We did some things well, and there’s some things we definitely have to work on, but I guess we did enough well,” Fleming coach John King told the Scoreboard Show.

    A defensive struggle through the first two quarters, Fleming scored two touchdowns in the first minute of the third quarter to go up 16-0.

    “We finally kind of settled down and started executing better offensively, and then really had all the momentum in the world,” King said. “The next two possessions in a row, we turned the ball over. We could have really taken the game over, but we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot and let them hang around.”

    Prairie scored two minutes after that, making it 16-8 heading to the final frame.

    Fleming scored on the third play of that fourth quarter, pushing their lead to 24-8, and added a final score with 4:31 to play on fourth down.

    “It was a really nice battle for us,” King said. “We had some kids who are starting for us the first time this year.”

    2A: (3) Sterling 31, (5) Platte Valley 21

    Kaeden Sheets threw four touchdowns as Sterling held off a rally from Platte Valley to win the top-5 battle.

    Sheets’ big night started off with three first-quarter touchdowns, two to Tucker Myers, as the Tigers built an 18-0 lead.

    Sterling’s lead grew to 24-7 with 6:12 to play in the third quarter when Sheets found Jackson Keil from 6 yards out.

    Platte Valley rallied. McDaniel had a 2-yard run with 4:35 left in the third, and two minutes after that, McDaniel hit Lauer for a 12-yard score to make it 24-21.

    In the fourth quarter, Peyton Rose sealed the game with an 8-yard run.

    “It was a fun night to be a part of Mead,” Mead coach Jason Klatt told the Scoreboard Show.
