  • Cross country roundup: State field clearing up after Thursday’s regionals

    Cross Country regionals
    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    Palmer Ridge’s Isabella Prosceno has a solid plan when embarking on her races.

    She starts strong, paces herself with the head of the pack and then pulls away for the win. That’s the plan she utilized on Thursday at the Class 4A region 2 cross country meet. She got the desired result.

    “I tend to run as hard as I can in every race,” Prosceno said. “Even though it gets hard on certain things, I just go hard every time.”

    Prosceno took the win for the Bears, but it was Air Academy who grabbed the overall team win for 4A girls. The Bears didn’t come away empty-handed though as the boys team took first.

    It was also a good day for the Vanguard School. The girls team grabbed first place while Nick Lovato won the overall 2A boys race.

    “My hope was that I would run my fastest to get my team to state,” Lovato said. “I decided the best way to do that was to take first.”

    Peyton won the 2A boys team title.

    At the same venue, Mountain Vista swept the 5A team titles.

    Monarch took three of the top four spots at the 5A Region 3 boys cross country meet to win the region.

    The Coyotes had 40 team points.

    “We wanted our team to win this regional,” Charlie Perry said. “The best way for us to do that is, I have to go out and get one point. So, my mind was on what I’m going to do, because I know the rest of the guys will take care of their job.

    “As you just saw, they came through in the spots they needed to as well.”

    Perry took first with a time of 15:50.

    “I felt pretty good today, so I figured it wouldn’t be too bad to go out on my own for a little bit,” Perry said. “This is a starter for the postseason so it’s a big deal to come out and win.”

    In the girls race, Legacy sophomore Brynn Siles beat out the field with a time of 18:28.

    Fairview won the team title with 64 points.

    The Knights’ Isabella Bowland finished with a time of 19:16, good for a fifth-place finish.

  • 3A state softball: Eaton avenges last year’s loss to Rocky Ford

    AURORA — A year ago, Eaton’s season came to an end at the hands of eventual state champion Rocky Ford.

    This year, the Reds got to return the favor.

    Junior Lauren Frink threw a complete-game shutout and got plenty of run support as Eaton beat the Meloneers 8-0 to advance to the Class 3A softball semifinal. Frink struck out five Rocky Ford hitters through the game.

    “It’s pretty special to know that you can bounce back and beat a team that you have history with,” Frink said. “We still have the confidence in us as a team that we would be able to do that.”

    The Reds got off to a quick start as Remington Ross and Jennifer Jarnigan started the game with back-to-back singles. Ross had stolen second and third, so she came home on Jarnigan’s hit to put Eaton on the scoreboard. Allie Hobbs added one of her own two hitters later then Melanie Frye drove in two to make it a quick 3-0 lead for Eaton.

    “The help of our offense is always a great asset,” Frink said. “It’s so much easier to go out and pitch when your team offensively and defensively have your back.”

    They added three more in the third and two in the fourth to push the lead to 8-0. But the Meloneers weren’t going to let a mercy rule come into play.

    The Eaton side was retired in order in the fifth and sixth innings, but the Meloneers weren’t able to get any runners

    Rocky Ford advanced to the quarters with a 7-6 comeback win over Meeker. The quarterfinal matchup was a rematch of last year semifinal, a game that Rocky Ford won 12-5.

    A win over the Meloneers may have massaged some bruises for the past, but the Reds would much rather focus on the task of moving forward and claiming the school’s first state softball title.

    “We don’t want to get too lost in those kind of thoughts,” coach Dale Hughes said. “We just want to keep our thought process moving forward.”

    So forward they will move as they are set to take on Strasburg. The Indians kept their hopes of returning to the championship game alive with a 2-0 win over La Junta in the quarterfinals.

    The other semifinal game will pit Brush against Faith Christian. The Beetdiggers beat Patriot League rival University 8-4 in the quarterfinals while Faith Christian held off a seventh-inning comeback attempt from Sterling.

    The Eagles came away with a 9-8 win.

    Valor Christian, top-seeded in 4A, will be looking for it’s fourth-straight title. The undefeated Eagles will host No. 32 Mesa Ridge, No. 16 Mountain View and No. 17 Cheyenne Mountain in Region 1.

    Valor Christian’s undefeated run has come behind a special season in the circle by senior Ali Kilponen. In 112 innings, Kilponen has a 0.38 earned run average. She has allowed just six earned runs all season.

    Other hosts in 4A include Pueblo West, Golden, Discovery Canyon, Erie, Pueblo Central, Thomas Jefferson and Frederick.

    In 3A, Brush sits at the top. The Beetdiggers will host in Region 1.

    Brush’s Kamryn Leoffler is hitting .515 with 11 doubles and 14 RBIs.

    Other hosts include Eaton, Strasburg, Lamar, Faith Christian, defending champion Rocky Ford, Limon and Meeker.

    The regional softball slate begins on Oct. 14.

  • Softball roundup: Lamar, Brush come away with 3A top-10 wins

    No. 5 Lamar softball is riding a five game winning streak at the right time of the season. 

    Lamar scored six runs in the second inning, then added four in the sixth to beat No. 4 Rocky Ford 11-8. The win gives Lamar its fifth win in a row heading into the final game of the season.

    Lamar is now 10-1 in Class 3A’s District 2.

    This is the second time Lamar has beat Rocky Ford this season. Lamar took a 6-1 win the first meeting.

    Lamar senior Haleigh Prosser is hitting .542 with 22 runs-batted-in and eight doubles.

    No. 3 Brush softball beats No. 7 University

    In a rematch of an extra-inning Brush win last Thursday, the Beetdiggers took care of University in easier fashion.

    Brush beat University 7-3 to cap a 16-3 season.

    In the game earlier this season, Brush used four runs in the top of the ninth to edge University.

    Brush is currently in second place of 3A’s District 3, but with Eaton playing Strasburg on Saturday, there is a possibility of a three-way tie at the top of the standings.

    Should Eaton beat Strasburg, the Reds would move to 12-2 in league. Strasburg, after the loss, and Brush would also be 12-2 in league.
