  • 3A basketball roundup: Bayfield shocks The Pinnacle

    Don’t tell Bayfield they were the No. 28 team in this years 3A boys state basketball tournament.

    The Wolverines squeaked into this year’s field of 32 teams and were placed near the bottom of the pecking order. But it was they who had the last laugh Friday night. Their reward for making the tournament was to travel to No. 5 overall seed The Pinnacle.

    Challenge accepted.

    And when it was over and done with, the Timberwolves never stood a chance. The Wolverines pulled the 3A upset of the night with a 75-54 win to advance to the Sweet 16 where they’ll face Eaton.

    (4) Manitou Springs 47, (29) Jefferson Academy 28

    This was anything but a cakewalk for the favored Mustangs. In the second quarter they were facing a 17-0 deficit, but would eventually light their fuse and go on a 47-11 run to end the game.

    Sophomore Shelby Megyeri paced the Mustangs with 14 points on the night, 12 of them coming in the second half.

    (22) Brush 52, (11) Kent Denver 50

    The Sun Devils found themselves down by two, but had the ball with under 10 seconds to go. They couldn’t convert on the possession and the Beetdiggers advanced to the Sweet 16.

    They’ll face Sterling on Saturday where it will be the fourth matchup between the two teams this year.

    (25) Liberty Common 67, (8) Bennett 51

    Liberty common took the court for their first ever playoff game at the 3A level Friday night. They didn’t disappoint their supporters or themselves as they convincingly knocked off Bennett to advance to the Sweet 16.

    Halley Milkos scored a team-high 25 points and Kayla Rhoads added 21 of her own to help the Eagles advance to the next round.

  • Playoff football roundup: Gunnison slips Sterling’s upset bid in 2A

    It came down to a fourth-down conversion in overtime, then an extra point, but Gunnison survived.

    No. 12-seeded Sterling pushed the No. 5 Cowboys to overtime on Saturday afternoon in the Class 2A football playoffs.

    Tied at 22 at the end of regulation, Sterling scored on its possession in overtime, but went for two points and didn’t convert.

    When it got the ball, Gunnison quickly faced a third-and-10. Gunnison quarterback Jake Wallin scrambled to the 1-yard-line to set up a 4th-and-1. The next play, running back Brady Wilson scored. The Cowboys then kicked the extra point to take a 29-28 win.

    “It’s playoffs. A win is a win,” Wallin told the Gunnison Country Times afterward. “It doesn’t matter what the score is. If you win, you go on, if you lose, you’re taking your pads off for good. We’re excited to play another week.”

    Gunnison advances to play Eaton, the No. 13 seed which upset No. 4 Lamar 41-20 on Saturday.

    Eaton led 26-7 at halftime in that game. Lamar cut it to 26-14 with a score early in the third quarter, but Eaton pulled away with a 15-point fourth quarter.

    Elsewhere in 2A:

    • No. 1 Brush rolled over No. 16 Moffat County 49-7. Brush will face No. 8 Faith Christian, which beat No. 9 Bayfield on Saturday.
    • No. 3 Strasburg handled No. 6 Florence 48-6. Strasburg scored on six of its first seven possessions, according to the Canon City Daily Record.
    • Platte Valley, seeded No. 6, beat No. 11 Bennett 30-15. It will face Strasburg in the quarterfinals.
    • No. 2 seed Kent Denver took care of No. 15 La Junta, 58-14. The Sun Devils will face No. 7 Montezuma-Cortez, which won a wild game on Friday night.

  • Defending champs rule preseason football rankings

    (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)
    Valor Christian is the preseason No. 1 in 5A. (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)

    Defending champions head six of football’s seven preseason CHSAANow.com rankings, which were unveiled Monday morning.

    The lone exception is Lutheran in Class 3A — which saw both its champion (Coronado) and runner-up (Silver Creek) move up to 4A this cycle.

    In fact, that ranking was also the most split of any other, with both Lutheran and preseason No. 2 Delta both getting three first-place votes. Lutheran got the No. 1 nod with 65 total points. Delta had 53 points.

    Lutheran was eliminated in the first round of the 3A playoffs last season, while Delta made the semifinals. Lutheran is entering its first season under new coach Blair Hubbard, formerly of Faith Christian.

    Valor Christian, a five-time defending champion across three classifications, opens up as No. 1 in Class 5A for the second year in a row. The Eagles topped Fairview to win the 5A title last season.

    Cherry Creek, a quarterfinalist a year ago, is No. 2 in 5A. Cherokee Trail is ranked third, Pomona is fourth and Columbine is fifth.

    Chatfield begins the season as No. 6, Regis Jesuit is No. 7, Grandview is No. 8, Ralston Valley is No. 9 and Fairview rounds out the preseason poll.

    Among those receiving votes in 5A were ThunderRidge, Overland, newcomer Monarch and Legend.

    In 4A, Pine Creek begins as the No. 1 team. The Eagles beat Montrose in last year’s title game. Montrose is No. 2 in the ranking.

    Other preseason No. 1 teams are Platte Valley (2A), Paonia (1A), Dayspring Christian (8-man) and Stratton/Liberty (6-man).

    The rankings are voted upon by coaches and select media members, and are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, rankings will be released each Monday.

    Complete rankings are below.
