  • Football roundup: Chatfield rallies to top Dakota Ridge

    (John Priest/CHSAANow.com)

    Chatfield, the second-ranked team in Class 4A football, pulled off a late rally to avoid an upset at the hands of Dakota Ridge on Friday.

    The Chargers — who trailed 12-10 at halftime, and 29-24 after the third quarter — got a big 10-point swing early in the fourth quarter to change the game.

    “We had to kick a field goal where we wanted to score a touchdown, and the ensuing kickoff, they fumbled it,” Chatfield coach Bret McGatlin told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We were able to put it in the end zone. Those 10 points right there just changed the complexion for us. After that, it just got us going.”

    Ultimately, Chatfield scored the game’s final 19 points to win 36-29.

    “It was a little scary there for a while,” McGatlin said. “Dakota Ridge came out and played really well. I have a lot of respect for that team.”

    “We were shell-shocked in the first, second and most of the third quarter, because they came out and they smashed us in the mouth early,” the coach added later. “All of a sudden, we started playing our game. It was fun.”

    6-man: (12) Arickaree/Woodlin 53, (5) Genoa-Hugo 45

    Arickaree/Woodlin scored the game’s final 34 points after trailing 45-19 in the third quarter, and advanced to the 6-man quarterfinals as a result.

    It was the lone 6-man playoff game of the night.

    No. 2 Fleming beat No. 15 Otis 62-14 on Thursday. The remaining six games are all on Saturday.

    Arickaree/Woodlin has reached the championship game each of the past two seasons, winning the title in 2014.

    1A: (8) Burlington 7, (10) Limon 6

    Burlington scored the winning touchdown with six minutes to play to seal a league title.

    “It was definitely defensive-minded,” Burlington coach Glynn Higgs told the Scoreboard Show. “I think when you play eachother as long as we have, and we’ve both had some pretty good teams in the past, you kind of know each other. And it was a very physical game, as we expected.

    “We made one more play,” Higgs added. “We kicked our extra point, and they weren’t able to” convert a two-point conversion.

    The win clinched the 1A North Central for the Cougars (7-2, 5-0 in league).

    2A: (9) Weld Central 17, Platte Valley 14

    Weld Central got a late touchdown to secure a huge win and improved to 8-1 this season.

    “Our kids played absolutely phenomenal tonight,” coach James Canaday told the Scoreboard Show. “They were very composed.”

    The Rebels called a timeout just prior to the winning score.

    “It was do-or-die, so we started talking about what we needed to call,” Canaday said. “Our offensive coordinator came up with a great play, and one of our better players, Alex Ries, was wide open and he caught it. … It was absolutely incredible. It was one of the neatest things I’ve ever been through.”

  • Boys soccer rankings: Cheyenne Mountain returns to No. 1 in 4A

    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    A week after falling out of the top spot in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com boys soccer rankings, Cheyenne Mountain is back at No. 1.

    With a 3-0 win over Air Academy last week, the Indians clinched the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference title and look to be the team to beat as the regular season comes to a close this week.

    The Classical Academy, who sat atop the rankings last week, drop only to No. 2.

    Thanks a recent tie with Cheyenne Mountain and a win last week over Lewis-Palmer, Palmer Ridge cracks the 4A rankings at No. 7 this week.

    Boulder won both its games last week and remains undefeated on the year, giving voters plenty of reasons to keep them at the No. 1 spot in 5A.

    Denver East and Broomfield also held firm at No. 2 and No. 3.

    Fort Collins made a two-spot jump to No. 8 while Arapahoe (No. 9) and Ralston Valley (No. 10) are the two newcomers to the 5A poll.

    Kent Denver is still the No. 1 team in 3A with KIPP, Vail Mountain and Jefferson Academy hanging on to their spots at No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 respectively.

    DSST-Stapleton, the lone newcomer in the 3A rankings — lands at No. 6.

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

  • Boys soccer rankings: Cheyenne Mountain bumps up to No. 1 in 4A

    Cheyenne Mountain Lewis-Palmer boys soccer
    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    Cheyenne Mountain is back on top of the Class 4A CHSAANow.com boys soccer rankings. The Indians had taken the top spot in the Sept. 6 poll, but a loss knocked them out of first on Sept. 19.

    But a 2-1 win over Lewis-Palmer last Thursday was enough to put them back in the driver’s seat.

    Air Academy only slipped down to No. 2 with the rankings and will have a chance to match the Indians’ move from last week as they’ll face Lewis-Palmer on Thursday.

    Greeley Central broke into the 4A rankings at No. 9, the only newcomer this week.

    In 5A, Boulder is still the No. 1 team, but has fresh company on its heels as Denver East jumps to No. 2.

    Mountain Vista made a two-spot jump to come in at No. 6 this week, while Arapahoe broke in at No. 8, the only new team to the 5A poll.

    Kent Denver remains the No. 1 team in 3A, but Metro League rival Jefferson Academy made a jump to No. 2, three spots better than a week ago.

    The Jaguars’ only loss of the season was to the Sun Devils back on Sept. 15.

    Vail Mountain also made a three-spot leap to come in at No. 3.

    One new team climbed into the 3A poll as Basalt comes in at No. 9.

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

    Valor Christian has regained the top spot in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com softball rankings.

    Erie had been able to snag the top spot, but with both teams undefeated, it was the Eagles who came away with the votes this week.

    Mullen jumped one spot to come in at No. 3 in the 4A poll this week while Air Academy was the only new addition at No. 7.

    In 5A, Broomfield held the top spot after beating Fossil Ridge last week. The Sabercats take the No. 8 spot in the latest rankings.

    Douglas County jumped from No. 10 to No. 3 thanks to getting three first-place votes.

    At No. 9 and No. 10 respectively, Rocky Mountain and Fort Collins are the two newcomers to this week’s rankings.

    Strasburg held firm in the top spot of the 3A poll this week as Rocky Ford hangs on to the No. 2 spot.

    Valley jumped two spots to come in at No. 7 this week.

    There were no new teams in the 3A rankings.

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