    BOULDER — Jackson Klutznick had one big focus during Tuesday’s final round at the Class 3A boys golf state championships.

    The Kent Denver senior, who was playing in the lead group and had put himself in position to win the tournament, wanted to have fun. In fact, he didn’t even check the leaderboard until the 16th hole.

    By that time, Klutznick was four shots in the lead, well on his way to winning the individual championship.

    “I just prepared myself to play golf,” Klutznick said. “In the past, I’ve really gotten in my own way, started thinking about other people and what they’re going to shoot, kinda trying to predict it. I just decided I’m gonna play golf today.

    “The kids I was playing with were awesome,” he added. “I’m assumed they were the ones that are leading, so I was just kind of going in relation to them, and just tried to have fun. I figured at the end of the day, just go out and enjoy it.”

    Well, mission accomplished.

    Klutznick, who finished fourth a season ago, broke away from a tight leaderboard to win the 3A title by three strokes at 1-under. He becomes the sixth individual champion from Kent Denver.

    Aspen’s Jack Hughes (2-over) was second. Peak to Peak’s Davis Long, last season’s champion, finished third at 3-over. Aspen’s Jack Pevny and Prospect Ridge Academy’s Walker Franklin tied for fourth at 4-over.

    Hughes, a CU commit, and Pevny led an impressive Aspen contingent which captured the team title, the program’s first. The Skiers, who entered with a one-stroke lead after the first day, had a runaway performance on the second day of the tournament to win.

    They were 5-under as a team at one point on Tuesday, and wound up winning by nine strokes, finishing at 14-over. Kent Denver (+23) was second.

    “These boys have been outstanding players since the time they were freshmen,” said Aspen coach Mary Woulfe. “They knew this was in their blood, and they just didn’t know when it was going to happen.”

    Dawson Holmes (+8) anchored the team-score for Aspen, and Dominic Lanese IV shot 23-over.

    “We were a team of six, not a team of four,” Woulfe. “We had two outstanding players that didn’t make it who would’ve been on that leaderboard. … They’re just smart players, they make good decisions all the way around the course.”

    Eaton’s Peter Grossenbacher entered the day with a two-stroke lead, having shot 5-under on the first day. Klutznick entered in second at 3-under, and Pevny was third at 2-under.

    The leaderboard tightened up almost immediately on the second day. A double-bogey from Grossenbacher on the second hole, along with a birdie from Pevny and a par from Klutznick, tied the trio at the top.

    They spent the rest of the day in various positions of the lead, with Pevny each Klutznick each grabbing the individual lead at one point. By the time the lead group reached the ninth hole, there was a five-way tie atop the top: Pevny, Klutznick, Grossenbacher, Franklin and Telluride’s Carlo Pine all sat at even.

    Thru 11 holes, Klutznick and Pevny were tied with Franklin (who had finished 12) at even. Klutznick then birdied his 12th hole to take a one-stroke lead. He held the lead from there on out, as Pevny, Grossenbacher and Franklin dropped strokes.

    “I figured I was somewhere at the top, but there are so many great players, I didn’t want to assume,” Klutznick said.

    Klutznick added another birdie on 16, and suddenly he led by four strokes. He made par on 17 and bogey on 18 to seal his championship.

    “He rose to the occasion,” Woulfe said of Klutznick. “To see him win, and the way he did it, with such grace coming down the stretch, was great.”

  • Eaton’s Peter Grossenbacher leads 3A boys golf state tournament after Day 1

    BOULDER — On a brisk Monday afternoon at the beautiful Boulder Country Club, Eaton senior Peter Grossenbacher found himself in the lead of the Class 3A boys golf state tournament.

    Shooting 5-under on the tournament’s first day, Grossenbacher’s two-shot lead over Kent Denver senior Jackson Klutznick was immensely earned. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Grossenbacher, who bogeyed two of his first three holes, and was 1-over through the front nine.

    His back nine score of 29 (6-under) included an eagle on the 12th hole to spark a unbelievable surge.

    “Today was a total blast,” Grossenbacher said. “On 12 I took a very aggressive line, hit a pitching wedge close and made eagle. After that eagle, my mom told me I was in the lead.”

    The top of the leaderboard is tight. Aspen junior Jack Pevny (2-under) and Telluride senior Carlo Pine (even) find themselves right in the thick of things. Prospect Ridge junior Walker Franklin is in fifth at 1-over.

    “It’s very exciting to be in it,” Pevny said. “It just shows you all of your hard work paying off. Definitely have grinded for the last two weeks to get ready for this. I think I need to play the same way I did today, tomorrow. I made some mistakes on the greens, but sticking to the game-plan by hitting the middle of the green is a focus and I’ll just go from there.”

    Pevny’s team, Aspen, currently leads the team category of the tournament at 4-over par. Kent Denver follows at 5-over as third place for now is Holy Family at 15-over.

    Telluride has just one player at state, but after a consistent afternoon, Pine finds himself with a chance as Day 2 approaches.

    “It was a pretty solid day,” Pine said. “My wedge game was a little off, but my putting kept things together, so hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to get the wedges a little closer and keep the putting and be under par.”

    Pine’s lead held up at 1-under for most of the afternoon until Grossenbacher claimed the lead at 2-under following his eagle.

    The leader’s golf partner, Klutznick kept pressure on, especially late in the round. With the two golfers at the top of the leaderboard, Tuesday’s final round is likely to bring more competitiveness between these two, who will be grouped together once again.

    “We started feeding off of each other’s birdies and before I knew it, I was 5-under with two to play,” Grossenbacher said. “He also eagled 12, so after we both made those eagles, I told him I might have a skin there. I wasn’t very happy when I saw him make a putt, but it was fun to see the motivation we put on each other. He’s a very awesome sportsman.”

    What was well known by all golfers leaving Monday afternoon: there is still another day.

    “At the end of the day, whoever plays better tomorrow is what it all comes down to,” Klutznick said. “He (Grossenbacher) played great today, and if he plays like that again, it will be hard to do anything, but I’m going to try and keep it going.”

    After accomplishing a tournament round career-low by four shots, Grossenbacher looks to become the first individual from Eaton to win the state boys golf championship, and he’s looking forward to the opportunity.

    “It would mean the world to me to pull it out tomorrow,” he said. “I have put just so much preparation into this. Visualizing it even since freshman year when I’m practicing chipping and putting thinking, “I need to get this this down for state,’ so I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

  • Playoff highlights five boys golf regionals completed on Monday

    A total of five boys golf regionals wrapped up on Monday, crowning champions, and sending qualifiers to the state tournaments in October.

    The day was highlighted by a team playoff in the Class 5A Central Region, which Fairview won over Valor Christian on the first hole.

    “The playoff was so exciting with eight guys going down the fairway,” Fairview’s Brett Reamon told BoCoPreps.com after the round.

    Both Fairview and Valor Christian finished the event, held at Legacy Ridge Golf Course in Westminster, at 7-over.

    Individually, Valor Christian’s Jake Welch won the region by shooting 4-under.

    In the 5A Western Region, Horizon’s Ryan Bomareto won individual honors at 1-under. Ralston Valley’s Jack Larson and Gage Messingham, Legacy’s Grant Hoos and Highland Ranch’s Tarek Salem tied for second at 1-over.

    Ralston Valley won the team crown in that region, shooting 9-over.

    In 3A Region 4, Aspen (1-over) won the team title, and the Skiers also had four of the top five individual finishers, with Jack Hughes (1-under) winning the individual championship.

    Dominic Lanese IV (even) was second, and Dawson Holmes (2-over) tied for third place with Carlo Pine of Telluride. Aspen’s Jack Pevny (3-over) was fifth.

    “We had a real solid day today,” Hughes told the Aspen Times. “All four of our guys played really well. It’s really fun when that happens. It makes it a lot more enjoyable.”

    Eaton won 3A Region 3 with a score of 8-over. The Reds also had the individual champion as Peter Grossenbacher shot 2-under.

    At 4A Region 2, Ponderosa won the region as a team, shooting 24-over. The Mustangs’ Mac Konrad took individual honors by shooting a 4-over.

    Boys golf’s regionals continue with five events on Tuesday, and conclude with two more on Wednesday.

  • Football roundup: Eaglecrest wins top-10 showdown against Highlands Ranch

    (@raptorathletics/Twitter)

    Eaglecrest started its season off with a big win over a top-10 foe, beating Highlands Ranch 49-35 in a Class 5A clash.

    The Raptors, who led 28-14 at halftime, opened the third quarter with a 17-play, seven-minute scoring drive. That put them up 35-14.

    “We executed really well on that drive,” first-year Eaglecrest coach Dustin Delaney told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “That really just demoralizes people when you do that. That’s the kind of football we want to play.”

    Eaglecrest would stretch its lead to 49-21 midway through the fourth quarter before Highlands Ranch scored two late touchdowns to cut it to a 14-point game again.

    “We didn’t keep our intensity for the whole time, and kind of let the game get closer than it should’ve been, quite honestly,” Delaney said. “That’s youth. There’s a lot of new starters from the team they had last year, so we’ve got to get them broken in. This was a good game to do it, and get ready for our real tough games down the road.”

    Highlands Ranch actually drew first blood with a touchdown early in the first quarter. Eaglecrest responded with a touchdown of its own on the next drive, and then senior Elijah Anderson-Taylor forced a fumble on a sack that set up another touchdown.

    The Raptors led the rest of the way.

    Eaglecrest never punted, but did turn the ball over six times.

    “We’ve got a lot of things to work on, and hopefully we can get them fixed for next week,” Delaney said.

    Otis took down the defending champions with a convincing victory in a battle of Bulldogs.

    Peetz actually led 28-25 at halftime, but Otis outscored Peetz 27-8 in the third quarter to seize control of the game.

    “We pretty much shot ourselves in the foot that whole first half,” Otis coach Paul Griese told the Scoreboard Show. “You know, missed assignments; we’ve got to work on some tackling. But you know what? We were playing the returning state champs, and we were tight. We were extremely tight.”

    3A: (3) Pueblo East 47, (6) Roosevelt 8

    Pueblo East yet again looks ready to contend for a state championship.

    The Eagles rolled through the top-10 matchup, scoring the game’s first 40 points.

    Quarterback Luc Andrada was 12-of-14 with 263 yards and five touchdowns passing, and also rushed for a score, according to Jeff Bersch of the Pueblo Chieftain. Pueblo East won three-straight state championships prior to last season.

    4A: (6) Fruita Monument 10, (9) Pueblo West 6

    In a tight defensive battle, Fruita Monument held Pueblo West off the scoreboard following a touchdown on the Cyclones’ initial drive.

    The Wildcats went ahead for good on Jacob Burns’ 1-yard rushing touchdown with four minutes to play in the second quarter, per Anthony Sandstrom of the Pueblo West View.

    “Our defense flew around, was really aggressive at them, and kind of cut them off,” first-year Fruita Monument coach Cameron Russ told the Scoreboard Show. “They did the same thing to us, so it turned into a ground game — ground-and-pound.”

    3A: Holy Family 19, (4) Pueblo South 7

    Holy Family knocked off the defending 4A champions, who have moved down to 3A for this cycle.

    Kyle Helbig had two interceptions on defense, including a big one late in the third quarter, according to Jon Yunt of Holy Family. He also had a receiving touchdown.
