No. 4 Wheat Ridge girls soccer off to a hot start in Class 4A Jeffco League

LAKEWOOD — Wheat Ridge’s girls soccer team is wasting no time when it comes to racking up the victories.

The Farmers — No. 4 in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com rankings — improved to 3-0 on the season with a dominating 6-0 victory over Conifer on Monday night at Lakewood Memorial Field.

“Off to a really good start. I’m really pleased with the girls,” Wheat Ridge coach Dan Watkins said. “There hasn’t been enough training to be where we want to be, but we are starting to put things together and creating some combination. We are putting some goals on the board so that feels good.”

All three of Wheat Ridge’s wins have come in 4A Jeffco League play to give the Farmers the lead out of the gates in the deep conference. The Farmers have outscored their opponents 14-1.

A 2-1 victory out of the gates against league rival Green Mountain last week really jump-started the season for the Farmers.

“Having the really tough first game I think really prepared us,” Wheat Ridge senior Jessica Brummett said of the Farmers’ 1-goal victory against the Rams. “It got us into the mindset of working hard and staying disciplined early on.”

The Farmers scored early and often on a cold and rainy Monday night at Lakewood Memorial Field. Sophomore Sadie Powers knocked in the first goal in the 2nd minute off a corner kick. Brummett scored a minute later to make it a 2-0 lead for the Farmers.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start,” Coach Watkins said of the Farmers scoring twice in the opening three minutes. “It gives you a chance to relax and let the game come to us. It put us in a good position for the rest of the night.”

Brummett would complete the hat-trick with goals in the 32nd and 48th minutes to give herself already five goals on the season.

“I was kind of mad last game because I didn’t get to score, but my teammates have been giving me a lot of good balls and opportunities,” Brummett said. “You just need to finish when you get them.”

Six different Farmers have found the back of the net so far this season with Brummett leading the way with her handful of tallies.

“Jess is a good target for us. She is able to turn and puts balls in to the back of the net,” Coach Watkins said. “We’ve got a handful of girls who can do that.”

Sophomore Taylor Watkins has already proven to be a scoring threat. The youngest daughter of the Farmers’ longtime coach scored goals in the 17th and 31st minutes of the first half on long driving shots just under the cross bar.

Taylor also had two of her corner kicks result in goals for the Farmers against the Lobos (1-1 record). The sophomore is taking advantage of finally playing for her father after so many years being on the sideline.

“I came here in a car carrier. It’s crazy,” Taylor said. “I remember being a ball girl for eight years. I love playing here under the lights. I’ve waited so long for this.”

Taylor already has three goals and three assists on the season.

“It is a little weird talking about my own kid,” Coach Watkins said of Taylor. “I’m just excited for her. She has wanted to be out here since she could walk. To be able to play with the girls, be apart of it and contribute to the group is a great feeling for her.”

Taylor admits the car rides home from games are a little different then they used to be when she was a spectator waiting her turn to get on a high school pitch, but she is relishing every game.

“I love having my Dad on the sideline,” Taylor said. “I’ve enjoyed having that relationship with him and getting finally able to (play for him) after 16 years.”

The shortened 10-game regular season will go by in a flash and the Farmers know that a slight miss-step might undo the great start to the season. Wheat Ridge toughest part of its conference schedule comes when it closes out the regular season against No. 3 D’Evelyn (June 7) and No. 1 Evergreen (June 9).

“Across our league there are a lot of good teams,” Coach Watkins said. “We’ve got to worry about one game at a time. Hopefully those ones at the end of the season mean something and we’re ready to play.”

D’Evelyn boys soccer scores late in shutout win over Conifer

LAKEWOOD — Goals have been hard to come by for D’Evelyn and Conifer boys soccer teams through the first two weeks into the season.

The Jaguars and Lobos had combined for two goals in five games — all losses — for the two Class 4A Jeffco League teams. While scoring continued to be an issue Friday night at Lakewood Memorial Field for D’Evelyn and Conifer, one team did pick up its first victory of the season.

D’Evelyn junior Ben Simpson was just able to get a shot over Conifer goalie Trace Avery in the 74th minute to give the Jaguars a 1-0 victory.

“We haven’t got off to the best start, so yes,” Simpson answered when asked if it was a must-win against Conifer.

Senior James Musarra picked up the assist on the goal giving a nice feed to Simpson to score the game-winning goal. D’Evelyn had several scoring chances, including a shot that cross the goal-line just a split-second after the horn sounded to signal the end of the first half.

“In a 10-game regular season every game is a must-win. We made it difficult,” D’Evelyn coach Paul Moline said. “Conifer has some dangerous players on its team. They got in a couple of times, but I think in the second half the key was winning the 50-50 balls.”

D’Evelyn (1-2-0, 1-2-0 in league) already has a shutout loss against Evergreen and a 2-1 overtime loss to Golden. The Jaguars actually hurt themselves with a pair of own-goals in the 2-0 loss to Evergreen.

However, D’Evelyn can all put that behind them heading into Spring Break.

“This will keep us positive over break,” Simpson said. “We can move forward after this week. It’s one game at a time. We have to stay healthy and stay confident.”

The Jaguars’ next game isn’t until Tuesday, April 6, back at Lakewood Memorial Field against Littleton. D’Evelyn could still get into the conference mix and a postseason spot if the Jaguars go on a run after Spring Break.

“I think there is a lot of parity in this league. I don’t think there is that one team,” Moline said. “I think anybody can beat anybody at any given moment. I think it is open. You have to be ready to play in every game.”

It will be an extremely busy final two weeks of the season with teams trying to get in all its regular-season game by Saturday, April 17.

“A lot of this is a gut check,” Moline said of the season. “You’ve got to come out and be ready to work. You can’t slack off. You have to outwork teams.”

Conifer (0-3-0, 0-3-0) will look to work its way to its first victory of the season on Monday, April 5, when the Lobos host Arvada on the Lobos’ home field.

All-state football teams for the 2020 season

The 2020 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.

These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.

Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.

CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created from the results of the coaches’ vote.

Because there will be two football seasons during the 2020-21 school year, this is the all-state football team for Season A. There will be a separate all-state football team released for Season C.
