    AURORA — The state playoff brackets for five classifications — 5A, 2A, 1A, 8-man and 6-man — were released on Sunday. Postseason play in each class begins this week.

    The 5A bracket, a 32-team field, is the only playoff of the bunch that does not feature a No. 1 overall seed. Instead, it seeds teams Nos. 1-8 into one of four quadrants. The four No. 1 seeds are Columbine (9-0), Valor Christian (7-2), Grandview (7-2) and defending champion Cherry Creek (7-2).

    No. 2 seeds, who are also hosting first-round games, include Regis Jesuit (7-2), Arapahoe (9-0), Pomona (6-3), and Westminster (9-0).

    There were some questions as to why Arapahoe got a No. 2 seed behind Grandview, who the Warriors beat this season. Asked about that specific situation, the 5A committee said it “was due to the quality of (Grandview’s) wins late, how early Arapahoe and Grandview played, and overall strength of Arapahoe’s schedule.”

    Also hosting first round games in 5A are No. 3 seeds — Legacy, Ralston Valley, Horizon, and Fountain-Fort Carson — and No. 4 seeds — Heritage, Fairview, Mountain Vista and Mullen.

    The 32-team 5A field is set by the final Wild Card points, which were released on Saturday morning. From there, the committee has a number of criteria it can use to seed the teams, including the use of the CHSAA RPI formula.

    The 5A title game will be played on Dec. 5 at Mile High.

    Paonia is the defending champion.

    The 1A title game will be played No. 28, also at a home site.

  • Football roundup: Horizon knocks off Legacy with late safety

    Horizon was stuffed on fourth down with less than three minutes to play, and it looked like Legacy might escape with a big win in Class 5A football. But then the Hawks got a game-changing, go-ahead safety and walked away with a 22-21 win on Friday night.

    The game was a wild one.

    Legacy jumped out 14-0 in the second quarter, but Horizon battled back to tie it at 14 in the third quarter.

    Legacy took the lead when quarterback Matt Lynch, a UCLA commit, threw a touchdown pass later in that quarter. Horizon answered with a Cade Verkler rushing score, but the extra point missed, making it a 21-20 Legacy lead in the fourth quarter.

    Late in the fourth quarter, Horizon had a 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard-line. The Hawks were stuffed. But two plays later, Horizon got the key safety. It was 22-21, and the Hawks would hold on to win.

    2A/1A: (3) Bayfield 35, (1) Paonia 0

    Bayfield ended Paonia’s 26-game winning streak in stunning fashion.

    It was 22-0 at halftime, and the lead only grew from there. Bayfield forced three turnovers in an outstanding defensive effort.

    “We had to be physical up front, and we had to stop them,” coach Gary Heide told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “The plan worked to perfection.”

    Paonia’s 26-game streak was the second-longest in the state.

    “I’m kind of a low-key, one-game-at-a-time, and, ‘No game is no more important than the other’ guy, but this morning, I just realized the opportunity that Bayfield had, along with getting a win,” Heide said. “A game like this, you end up gaining a lot of confidence.”

    Bayfield quarterback Kelton McCoy threw three touchdown passes for the traditionally run-based offense.

    “We don’t pass a whole lot, but when we do, we try to do it at optimal times. Tonight, it really worked out,” Heide said. “Kelton McCoy threw some really nice passes.”

    3A: (1) Pueblo East 47, Discovery Canyon 36

    Discovery Canyon nearly pulled off a major upset, but Pueblo East was able to pull out a win.

    “It was a fun night,” Pueblo East coach Lee Meisner told the Scoreboard Show. “We knew we were going to get everything they had. … We had a heck of a game.”

    This game featured 10 ties or lead changes, including a number in the final quarter. It also had a 99-yard kickoff return.

    Discovery Canyon led 28-27 going to the fourth. Pueblo East soon went ahead 33-28, and Discovery Canyon answered to retake the lead at 36-33.

    Then, with 2:45 to go, Pueblo East took the lead for good at 40-36. The Eagles added a late touchdown to ice the game.

    Said Meisner: “We just kept preaching to our kids: ‘We have to play four quarters of football. No matter what the score is, just at the end of it, do your job, and then worry about the score.’”

    5A: Doherty 24, Fruita Monument 21 (OT)

    Doherty jumped out to an 18-0 lead at halftime, but then Fruita Monument started to chip away.

    It was 18-13 after the third quarter, and then tied in the fourth after a safety and a field goal.

    In overtime, Fruita Monument kicked a field goal on its possession, and then Doherty’s Tequan Baker scored the winner on a 6-yard run:

    1A: Limon 26, (4) Burlington 0

    Limon pulled off the upset of its rival, and improved to 4-0 this season.

    “Our kids really stepped up tonight,” Limon coach Mike O’Dwyer told the Scoreboard Show. “I thought they played really well. By far, the best game we’ve played all year.”

    Of the shutout, O’Dwyer said, “Anytime you play Burlington, they’re so disciplined and so well-coached, you have to play assignment defense and everybody has to do their job and not worry about what everybody else is doing. You just have to take care of your job. I thought tonight, our assignment defense really played very, very well.”

    1A: (5) Cedaredge 40, (10) Center 13

    It was 14-13 at halftime, but Cedaredge pulled away to notch a huge top-10 win to move to 4-0.

    “They had some turnovers and we capitalized on those turnovers,” coach Brandon Milholland told the Scoreboard Show. “Another important piece that I realized late in the fourth quarter is we’re starting to get out of our own way and kind of believe in what we’ve going on.”

    Cedaredge pulled away to 25-13 after the third quarter, then put the game away in the fourth.

    8-man: (3) Norwood 38, (4) Sargent 28

    Norwood was clinging to a 16-12 lead at halftime, but pulled away in the third quarter with two quick scores.

    “We got a lucky bounce,” coach Brandon Alexander told the Scoreboard Show. “We scored quick, and turned the ball over, and scored again. Two scores early in the third quarter, that was really huge for us.

    “Sargent was a great team, they were very athletic and fast, so it was exactly what we had to have.”

  • Fossil Ridge softball gets crucial league win over Horizon

    (Aislyn Carrillo/CHSAANow.com)

    FORT COLLINS — Going into Tuesday’s game with two star players out, Fossil Ridge coach Dave Philop felt a little “unsure” about how his team would perform against Horizon.

    Little did he know, his team would compensate for those who were injured by defending the fort and coming out on top.

    The Sabercats (7-4-1 overall, 2-2 Front Range League) defeated the Hawks 7-6 on Tuesday to get a much-needed league win.

    Horizon (6-6, 1-3) started out the game strong by opening it up with a home run. They held a steady lead on the Sabercats up until the fifth inning when junior Megan Jamison struck out the Horizon side and had a phenomenal hit that turned the whole game around.

    Jamison’s big hit brought in three runs, which put Fossil in the lead. The score remained 4-3 up until the end of the sixth inning.

    It all came down to the seventh inning when both teams were battling to get more runs. A hit from Taylor Humphries brought in a run that tied up the game, and two more base hits loaded the bases. The combination of a successful hit from Horizon and an error in Fossil’s outfield put the Hawks in the lead at 6-4 the middle of the seventh inning.

    Fossil knew it was going to be a challenge during its last time at bat.

    Going into the final inning Philop recognized that his team was down two runs and knew that they could have given up.

    “(I wondered if they) could accept this challenge and step up for a couple good players who are not in the lineup,” Philop said.

    His team responded tremendously by stepping up to the plate, determined to win the game. It turns out that a pep talk from their coach was all the Sabercats needed in order to give it their all in the last inning. They played aggressively. The first two hitters set up the rest of their team for an exciting conclusion to the game — immediately loading the bases.

    Horizon coach Gary Mares made the decision to take a timeout at this time for the sake of his team’s lead.

    Coming out of the timeout, the Sabercats were unstoppable. A hit from Malori Pojar plated on, then Sam Shuweihat quickly followed up with a massive hit, sending two more of her teammates home to win the game.

    Needless to say Horizon made some mistakes and Fossil took advantage of them.

    “They keep battling and find a way to win, we hit some spots and they found some holes,” Mares said.

    Both teams are coming off of some serious injuries, which puts them a step behind, but they are moving things around and striving be the best that they possibly can be.

    Fossil will host Greeley West on Sept. 24 at home.

    “It’s one game at a time, one pitch at a time, you just have to go in not expecting anything,” said Jamison, who helped carry her team in Tuesday’s win.

  • Football roundup: No. 5 Palisade knocks off No. 3 Holy Family in 3A

    Palisade had a key fourth-down stop near the goal-line in the fourth quarter as the fifth-ranked Bulldogs upset No. 3 Holy Family 42-34 in a huge Class 3A football game on Friday evening.

    PD Riddle ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, while Prescott Price and Isaac Maestas each had two touchdowns.

    “It was like an arena football game,” Palisade coach Joe Ramunno told Colorado Preps’ Scoreboard Show on Friday. “We had to take away possessions, and we were able to do that.”

    The game tilted back-and-forth throughout, though Palisade never trailed. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter, and that proved to be the difference.

    “That’s what we knew we had to do, because they are so potent offensively,” Ramunno said. “They came back, though. They brought it back to 28-21 at the half. … We just knew we had to keep a possession ahead as much as we could, but they made a run for it there at the end.”

    Holy Family quarterback Chris Helbig, who set the state passing record two weeks ago, continued his torrid early-season pace. He threw for three more touchdowns on Friday night, giving him 16 over three consecutive games. That breaks the previous record of 15 set by Grand Junction’s Doug Musgrave in 1988.

    Trailing 35-28 late in the fourth quarter, Holy Family marched down to the Palisade 5-yard-line, but the Bulldogs turned away the high-powered offense. Palisade scored on Maestas’ 87-yard touchdown on its next drive.

    “They had a great drive going on, and our defense really stepped up to get a great finish on it,” Ramunno said. “We were able to stop that fourth-down conversion, and then just a just a few plays later, Isaac was able to get into the end zone.

    “It was a big turnaround for us. They were going in to tie it up, and we ended up getting it back to (a 14-point lead).”

    Holy Family again cut into the lead to make it 45-34 with 55 seconds to play, but couldn’t recover an onside kick and Palisade was able to hang on.

    Maestas rushed for more than 200 yards for Palisade.

    5A: Mullen 38, (2) Pomona 31 (OT)

    Mullen rallied from down 24-13 in the third quarter to eventually take a 28-24 lead over the second-ranked Panthers with seven minutes remaining.

    Pomona went up 31-28 with a minute remaining, and then Mullen hit a field goal to send it to overtime.

    Once there, the Mustangs pulled off the biggest upset of the young season.

    5A: Arapahoe 17, (5) Grandview 14

    Arapahoe pulled off the upset thanks to the above field goal with a little over a minute to play.

    The Warriors led 7-0 at the half after Mitch Pennetta’s fumble recovery for a score. Grandview tied it up, but then Pete Mitchell hit Connor Williams for a 69-yard passing touchdown to give Arapahoe another lead.

    Arapahoe is now 3-0, including two wins over ranked teams.

    6-man: (1) Fleming 66, (3) Pawnee 22

    Fleming was up 24-6 at the half, then exploded in the second half to take the important 6-man matchup.

    “We came out aggressively,” Wildcats coach John King told the Scoreboard Show. “We just executed really well. We kind of went right at them and actually probably ran the ball more tonight than we have been lately.”

    5A: (7) Regis Jesuit 19, (9) Cherokee Trail  14

    The Raiders jumped out to a 13-0 lead at halftime, and held on for the important top-10 win.

    Cherokee Trail cut it to 13-7 in the third quarter, but Regis Jesuit pushed it back to 19-7 midway through the fourth quarter.

    The Cougars did score again in the final minutes, but Regis Jesuit got a game-ending interception.

    5A: Horizon 18, (8) Fairview 14

    Horizon rallied from a 14-0 hole to score the game’s final 18 points and pull the upset.

    The Hawks cut into that lead to make it 14-12 at half, then took the lead on Jared Jiron’s 1-yard touchdown with 2:15 to go in the third quarter.

    Horizon made a goal-line stand in the fourth quarter, and then recovered a muffed punt with two minutes left to hold on and win.

    The Knights had won 20 consecutive games in the regular season prior to Friday’s loss.

    4A/3A: (9) Palmer Ridge 48, (9) Lewis Palmer 14

    Isaiah Sanders threw for 440 yards and four touchdowns as Palmer Ridge won General Palmer’s Cup over its rival.

    Palmer Ridge (3-0) stretched its lead to 28-0 before Lewis-Palmer finally got on the board, and then cruised from there.

  • No. 3 Fort Collins boys soccer beats Horizon after offensive explosion

    FORT COLLINS — To say the least, Horizon’s coach Aaron Smith knew this game was going to be a tough one for his team. What he didn’t know was that they were going to be completely shut out by Fort Collins, which remained undefeated.

    The third-ranked Lambkins (5-0 overall, 1-0 5A Front Range League) scored a total of five goals during their tremendous game Thursdsay afternoon, registering the 5-0 win. Even though senior Jake Rudel was under the weather, he was still able to have thirty minutes of playtime in which he scored two goals and assisted on another.

    Fort Collins coach Justin Stephens credits Rudel as the best offensive player of the game.

    “On the attacking side, he was kind of limited today, Jake was sick but he still did a lot in the little time that he played,” Stephens said.

    The Hawks (3-3, 0-2) played very slow on the defensive side of things. Going into halftime, the Lambkins had already scored twice. They had a good pace on both sides of the ball and they seemed to be one step ahead of the Hawks when it game to retrieving the ball throughout the game.

    According to the fans, the Lambkins came back even stronger out of halftime, but coach Stephens said otherwise.

    “You never want to give a team the opportunity to get behind you, you want to make sure you bring pressure in all the thirds,” Stephens said. “I thought we let them get behind us too often so we have to clean that up.”

    Aside from the Lambkins defensive issues, they played tremendously. On the defensive side, midfielder Robby Evans had a great game. He constantly allowed his teammates to get forward and he took care of the hole in the middle.

    Rudel started out the second half with a bang, quickly adding another point to the Lambkin’s score. Max Bostak and Eric Thompson followed up with two more goals bringing the Lambkins to their 5-0 victory.

    Hawks goalkeeper Braden Mangel may have had five goals scored on him, but Smith is still very proud of him. After being pelted many times, Smith says Mangel may have gotten a little frustrated.

    “A goalie should only be expected able to come up big a few times a game and he easily had 15-20 saves,” Smith said. “No goalie should ever have to endorse stuff like that.”

    The Hawks now know that they need to work on their mental and physical toughness going into their next game on Sept. 24.

    On the other side of things, Stephens is confident moving forward into the next game.

    “They’ve been on a good run and gotten some good results,” said Stephens.

    The Lambkins hope to keep their record as clean as it currently is. They aim to get better everyday, compete every match, and let the result speak for itself.

  • Lee Peters, Legacy principal, named new district AD of Adams 12

    Lee Peters, the principal at Legacy High School, has been named the new district athletic and activities director of Adams 12 Five Star Schools.

    “It’s always been an area of interest for me; I was a longtime high school athletic director,” Peters said on Thursday. “I was attracted to the opportunity to serve in a district position to oversee some of those activities that are going on.”

    It marks a return to athletics for Peters, a 1989 graduate of Northglenn. Prior to becoming principal, he was the athletic director at Legacy for ten years, and was also the boys basketball coach at Legacy for two seasons.

    “I’ve certainly been involved in athletics as a young person, and then have continued to be as a professional,” Peters said.

    Peters became the principal at Legacy in August 2011.

    “I think the thing I probably most enjoy about Legacy High School is the strong emphasis on both academic and activities being valued at our school,” he said. “We’re very academically focused, but at the same time, we have lots and lots of student who are participating in co-curricular activities — music, drama, athletics, and other activities. It turns out well-rounded students.”

    Peters takes over the role at Adams 12 from Eddie Hartnett, who left to become the athletic director at Boulder High School.

    Asked about his goals for the district, Peters said, “We have to find new and better ways to fund our co-curricular programs. I think continuing to operate on a shoestring budget is just really difficult for programs to find ongoing success. I would like to hopefully find some ways some of the budget constraints we’re facing.

    “Secondly,” Peters added, “it will be a priority for me to find new and better ways to hire and retain high-quality coaches. The success of any program is dependent upon the person leading that program, and we need to work in ways we haven’t maybe done in the past to ensure we have the best folks leading those programs.”

    Peters will begin his new job on August 1.

    Adams 12 consists of eight high schools, five of which are CHSAA members: Horizon, Legacy, Mountain Range, Northglenn and Thornton.

    The district has two stadiums: Five Star Stadium, a 7,500-seat venue in Thornton, and 1stBank Field in Westminster, which seats 2,500.
