  • 4A boys soccer semis: Air Academy, Denver North to play for championship

    (Brock Laue/CHSAANow.com)

    AURORA — After sealing a 3-1 victory over Glenwood Springs in the Class 4A boys soccer semifinals at Legacy Stadium, the Kadets of Air Academy could achieve a rare feat, potentially winning back-to-back crowns in boys soccer.

    No 4A program has double-dipped in consecutive seasons since Dakota Ridge (1997, 1998).

    Air Academy is now 17-1-1 on the season with their only setback coming at the hands of 5A power, Boulder, in August. The Kadets are the No. 1 seed in the tournament.

    The upset-minded Demons, the No. 20 seed, struck first on Wednesday though as Leo Micelles found the right side of the net with a left-footed touch in the 18th minute. Three minutes later, Thaddaeus Dewing snuck the equalizer past goalkeeper Carlos Guardado.

    A second goal by Dewing a few minutes after that, he has a total of 26 on the season, provided an edge the Kadets wouldn’t relinquish. Adin Schwenke tacked on an insurance goal in the 53rd minute.

    In last year’s finals, a sterling senior group for Air Academy helped top Centaurus 1-0.

    And so, in a nearly unprecedented total for Colorado, the program will be appearing in their ninth boys soccer championship match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. They were the 5A winners in 1990 and the 4A champions in 2010, 2014, and 2017.

    Glenwood Springs was hoping to appear in their first-ever finals, but bowed out with a 13-5-1 record. They rebounded in a big way this fall after dropping three of their initial four matches.

    (3) Denver North 1, (7) The Classical Academy 0

    In the second semifinal clash, terrific defenses made it difficult for each team to break through.

    A scoreless opening half, despite a few nifty header attempts and footwork moves by Denver North, continued into the second frame. Initially the Vikings’ Elliot Nottoli appeared to score a goal right before halftime, but he was offsides.

    Finally, in the 48th minute he had a terrific cross to Jonathan Gonzalez, whose header touched net.

    Then the North (16-1-2) defense, a group that has given up a mere six goals the entire season and outscored Littleton, Silver Creek, and Pueblo Centennial a combined 8-0 in earlier tournament rounds, did the rest in securing the Vikings’ first-ever berth in the boys soccer state finals.

    A highly skilled group, North was equally capable using their feet or heads on Wednesday. They have relied plenty on a big batch of non-seniors, which includes leading goal-scorer Nottoli (sophomore), along with Gonzalez (junior), and Abel Torres (freshman).

    As for TCA (15-4), the regular contenders had been clutch in the playoffs while overcoming both Holy Family and Skyview with penalty kicks. The Titans earned their first boys soccer crown in 2016 (7-1 over Battle Mountain) and were hoping to lock up their spot in the finals for the seventh time (runner-up in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015).

    They also have a promising contingent returning.

  • 3A/2A cross country: The Classical Academy’s Mason Norman breaks brother’s record

    State cross country Mason Norman The Classical Academy
    (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)

    The Norman brothers have a stronghold on the state cross country competition at the Norris Penrose Event Center.

    Mason, the younger sibling of Tanner, shattered the elder’s Class 3A course record of 15 minutes, 44 seconds from 2016 with a 15:33 in clinching back-to-back state crowns on Saturday. Salida senior Camden Gillis (16:18) was the runner-up.

    The stalwarts from The Classical Academy have now won a combined four individual championships in a row as Tanner earned titles in 4A in 2015 and 3A in 2016.

    In a bit of a surprise though, Kaylee Thompson matched the brothers with another crown for TCA, who was in for a championship frenzy as Titan competitors Katie Flaherty (5th place), Kennedy McDonald (6th), Rebecca Thompson (8th), and Sarah Burroughs (14th) also helped lift the program to their first team title since a 10-year winning streak from 2003-2012.

    Their 34 points bettered Peak to Peak’s 97, the two-time defending champions.

    But, before The Classical Academy girls left their mark on the 2018 state meet, Mason Norman entered the stadium ahead of the pack.

    “It definitely did inspire me,” Mason said of seeing his brother taste victory at state. “I remember watching him win his junior year in a really tight race and his senior year, I ran with him and it was exciting where he had gone with running.”

    Only a junior, Mason snatched his first cross country title with a six-second margin. His triumph was much more decisive this time around.

    “Last year, coming into state I knew that I could maybe do it,” he said. “I knew I was going to have to gun it through to the finish to hang on to it. This year, I was really hoping to make a break early on in the race. Coming up to the first mile, I started to pull away a bit and I tried to stretch it out.”

    With his sights set on winning more than time, Mason wasn’t sure of the classification course record mark.

    “I didn’t really know exactly what it was,” the latest superstar harrier for TCA admitted.

    Nonetheless, the record added to an illustrious career for Mason, who will be in search of a third individual crown as a senior. As a team, the Titans were the defending champions but settled for third (107 points) behind Peak to Peak (76) and Salida (80) on Saturday.

    Now a veteran in the prep running scene, the younger Norman got a chance to watch a relative newcomer taste gold when Thompson (18:19) overtook the Peak to Peak twosome of Anna Shults (2nd place, 18:37) and Quinn McConnell (18:43, 3rd place).

    Thompson, with a background in soccer and basketball, signed up for cross country for the first time as a junior and earned 10th at the state meet. She wouldn’t be denied this year.

    “I was just trying to catch Quinn McConnell and try to get up with her,” Thompson said. “I made my move in the last half mile. I was nervous that I might not have enough energy left to finish, but I just kept pushing.”

    McConnell led much of the race before Thompson overtook her and even shattered the classification course record herself.

    A Brigham Young University recruit, the senior was ecstatic seeing three other teammates finish in the top 10. One was her sister, Rebecca, who was eighth as a junior.

    “It’s amazing,” Thompson said of her sister also nabbing all-state honors. “I wish I could run every season with her.”

    The Classical Academy girls have now won 11 cross country championships, a Colorado record.

    As for the Pumas of Peak to Peak, the boys secured their first state championship by a thin margin over Salida. An entire varsity contingent returned from last year’s third place team.

    William Ledden (3rd place), Justin Hager (14th), Ethan Monarski (16th), Ryan Kuykendall (21st), and Cole Beasley (22nd) broke new ground for a standout program from Lafayette. Coach Kim McConnell has earned three overall team championships with the program.

    The wave of green and white from the spring carried all the way into October for Heritage Christian.

    After clinching their fifth 1A championship in boys track and field in May, the Eagles topped everyone in 2A cross country, winning the crown in Colorado Springs with a mere 12 points.

    Seth Bruxvoort (1st place, 16:09) and Levi Killian (4th, 16:55) led the Eagles’ contingent as the long hair and smooth stride of Bruxvoort, and the more aggressive looking form of Killian (800, 1,600, 3,200 champion in 1A track), proved to be an overwhelming one-two punch. Keaton Case rounded up the scoring for the Eagles in eighth.

    Lyons girls were just as convincing in victory as junior Katie Fankhouser (19:24) and freshman Quin Gregg (19:36) crossed the finish line faster than anyone else in 2A, all but ensuring Lyons of a second girls team championship in school history (2014 winners).

    Sophomore Hannah Thomas (12th) was the final scorer for Lyons, one of many Boulder County challengers throughout the divisions and a program that has also seized five boys titles in the past seven years. The boys were the runner-up this time with 38 points as Isaac Roberts finished third.

    Platte Canyon (43 points), led by Emma Dikken (6th), was second in the girls team competition.

  • Matchup between 6-Man No. 3 Kit Carson and No. 5 Arickaree/Woodlin highlights Week 3 games on the radio

    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    Week 3 of high school football in Colorado kicked off on Thursday night, but Friday’s slate of games might be the best of the year so far.

    Among games that will be featured by CHSAANow.com and its various media partners, radio stations across the state will feature plenty of intriguing matchups.

    (If any stations are interested in featuring their games in this weekly post, please send an email to dmohrmann@chsaa.org)

    6-man: (3) Kit Carson at (5) Arickaree/Woodlin

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick.

    Station: KAT Country 98.3 FM

    On the call: Marc Romero

    Romero on the matchup: “Two teams that return a ton of experience from 2017. Arickaree/Woodlin doesn’t have any stats posted, but the names are basically the same for a group that has experience playing together in all sports. Kit Carson showed just how much offense they have (nearly 1200 returning passing yards and over 1900 rushing yards return from 2017) with the 73 points posted in week one.”

    4A: Grand Junction Central at Grand Junction

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick

    Station: The Team 1340

    On the call: Jim Davis (Play by Play), Nate Primrose (Color)

    Davis on the matchup: “The Tigers are coming off a 31-12 loss at Montrose, with the Warriors beating previously 6th ranked Fruita Monument 13-9. It was Central’s first win against the Wildcats since 2009. Grand Junction beat Central last year 21-0.”

    Hear the game on 1340 The TEAM, 102.1 Delta, 100.1 Montrose and streaming at theteam1340.com.

    Rocky Ford at Lamar

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick

    Station: KLMR 920

    On the call: Ethan Denton

    Denton on the matchup: “Both teams are coming off losses in their opener. The host Savages look to take care of the ball much better, as four first-half turnovers doomed them at Limon last Friday. Rocky Ford’s spread offense had a hard time getting started two weeks ago against Florence and so this game may simply come down to who executes better for four quarters. Whoever can control field position will be in a good position to win.”

    4A: (3) Windsor at Ponderosa

    Game time: 7 p.m.

    Station: Orange and Blue 760

    On the call: Chad Andrus (Play by play), Matt McChesney (Color)

    Coloradoan’s Kevin Lytle on the matchup: “Windsor will continue to pound the run game like always. They had six different guys carry the ball last week. Ponderosa has to break through a Windsor defense that completely shut down Vista Ridge a week ago.”

    Hear the game on Orange and Blue 760 or through their stream via iHeartRadio.

    2A: Weld Central at University

    Game time: 7 p.m.

    Station: 1310 KFKA

    On the call: Clark Johnson (Play by play), Mike Danson (Color)

    Preps director Tanner Schwindt on the matchup: “Weld Central will be looking to bounce back after a tough opening loss against Englewood and look to find a quarterback in the process. University on the other hand is 1-1 and if they want to try and put together back to back wins they need to rely on that running game and an aggressive pass rush.”
