  • Girls soccer preview: Reloaded Valor Christian squad pursuing first state title in six years

    To appreciate where Valor Christian’s girls soccer team ended up last spring – and where the Eagles hope to go in 2017 – it’s significant to take a brief trip back in time.

    Two years ago Valor Christian entered the 2015 playoffs as the No. 7 seed, looking to get back into the title hunt in Class 4A. Instead, a rash of late-season injuries hit the program hard in the first round. Centaurus handed the Eagles their first opening-round loss in the team’s brief history, ending Valor Christian’s run before it could even get started.

    “I think that team that year was poised to make a deep run in state, and just had the injury-bug hit them like crazy right at the end of the regular season,” said current Valor Christian coach Brian Shultz, who returned to lead the program last season. “They lost some major contributors right before the playoffs started, and just probably didn’t have enough time to figure it out before it was go-time in the playoffs.

    “Did that light a fire under the girls to get back? Absolutely, I think it did.”

    Enter Shultz, who had coached Valor Christian to its only state title in 2011 and two semifinal appearances the following two seasons. He stepped down before the 2014 season to focus on teaching and coaching the Valor boys, but returned last spring.

    The Eagles rediscovered their playoff magic, making it back to the championship game for the first time in five years before falling to Lewis-Palmer 1-0.

    “That was a really painful ending,” said Eagles senior Camryn Dyke, who has signed with Notre Dame. “We had a really great season last year. We definitely want to be back there this year.”

    Valor Christian, ranked first in the CHSAANow.com 4A preseason rankings, returns two first-team all-state talents in Camryn and younger sister Cori, who made an immediate impact as a freshman last spring. Versatile talent Caroline Noonan was a second-team selection, and the team has five seniors who have signed to play collegiately.

    Camryn Dyke will compete for the Fighting Irish, and Grace Collins (Wyoming) and Tess Boade (Duke) are also going to Division I programs. Bri Johnson (Westmont College) and Paige Kula (John Brown) will play for NAIA schools.

    “We have a great group of seniors this year, some amazing girls,” said Camryn, who shared the team lead in goals scored with Johnson at 15. “I think we all just want to do it for each other and leave a legacy here.”

    Kula missed last spring with a knee injury, though Shultz said her leadership still helped play a critical role in helping the team reach the title game. Boade competed for Valor’s track and field team as a junior, but is back with the soccer program for her final season.

    Noonan is a junior, as is goalkeeper Alex Daws, who rotated as a sophomore but was in net during the playoff run and has committed to Wyoming.

    Valor Christian finished second in the 4A Jeffco League a year ago, but took out Evergreen and league champion Wheat Ridge in the postseason. Those same two teams handed the Eagles back-to-back losses in late April, which helped reinvigorate the squad, according to Shultz.

    To keep Valor Christian sharp and on its toes at all times this season, the coach strengthened the schedule even more with non-league games against the likes of two-time defending 5A champion Grandview; a Cheyenne Mountain team that won 4A titles from 2013-15; and Colorado Academy, which won 3A in 2014 and 2015 and took second last year.

    That doesn’t include the gauntlet that the 4A Jeffco League serves up each spring.

    “We’re just trying to prepare ourselves for the playoffs, so that any team we face at the end of the season is not going to surprise us,” Shultz said. “It’s the toughest schedule we’ve had.”

    Lewis-Palmer returns a pair of first-team all-state selections, including reigning Player of the Year Brianna Alger, who has signed with Washington State. The Rangers enter the season ranked second in 4A, followed by Cheyenne Mountain, Windsor and Mullen. In addition to Valor, three more Jeffco League teams – Wheat Ridge, D’Evelyn and Evergreen – are also ranked in the top 10.

    In 5A, Grandview is looking for a third consecutive 5A crown after going 18-0-1 a year ago. Kent Denver and reigning 3A POY Sage DiGuilio entered the season ranked first, with two-time defending 2A champion Vail Mountain make the jump to the 3A classification as well.

    Dawson School returns 2A POY Hannah Isenhart as the Mustangs seek their first state crown.

  • Girls soccer rankings: Grandview, Valor, Kent, Dawson preseason No. 1 teams

    It appears that Grandview and Kent Denver will be carrying defending champion hype into the 2017 girls soccer season.

    The Wolves and Sun Devils both sit atop their respective classes of the initial CHSAANow.com girls soccer rankings.

    Grandview claimed the Class 5A title in a thriller over Mountain Vista and Kent Denver came away with the 3A title after beating Colorado Academy 3-1. 

    Grandview was a nearly a unanimous choice as No. 1, but one first-place vote did go to Cherokee Trail, which comes in at No. 10 to start the year.

    Mountain Vista will start the season ranked second, hoping this time around they can not just compete for a state title, but to claim it come May.

    Columbine will start the year at No. 3 after reaching the 2016 semifinals before falling to Mountain Vista.

    Broomfield, the fourth semifinal team from last year, snags a No. 5 ranking.

    It was Lewis-Palmer who claimed the 4A championship last spring, but it’s Valor Christian who enters this season as the top-ranked team. 

    The Eagles edged the Rangers by one point to claim the top spot in the poll.

    Cheyenne Mountain lands at No. 3 and is always a threat to compete for championship gold.

    Windsor and Mullen come in at No. 4 and No. 5 respectively to start the year. Both teams advanced to last year’s 4A semifinals.

    Kent Denver and Colorado Academy will start the year at No. 1 and No. 2 just where they ended after last spring.

    Jefferson Academy starts the year ranked third after reaching the semis last year with Liberty Common taking the No.4 spot and The Academy, also a 2016 semifinalist, coming in at No. 5.

    Dawson starts the year atop the 2A rankings. The Mustangs fell to Vail Mountain 7-0 in the 2A championship game last year, but are looking to make another run at a title.

    Vail Mountain has moved up to 3A this season.

    Evangelical Christian takes the No. 2 spot, Front Range Christian is third, Fountain Valley (a 3A team in 2016) is fourth and Denver Christian rounds out the 2A at No. 5.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association.

    New polls are released each Monday during the regular season.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.
