ARVADA — Golden and Valor Christian girls golf programs were able to sweep the team and individual medalist titles this spring in the Class 4A and 5A Jeffco League.

Golden junior Jessica Morrissey dominated the 4A Jeffco race to the medalist title. Morrissey shot a round of 88 during the final conference tournament of the season May 27 at Indian Tree Golf Course. Her 41.9 9-hole average over the five league tournaments was nearly 5 strokes better than runner-up Littleton senior Sarah Young that finished with a 46.50 9-hole average.
Morrissey spearheaded the Demons’ run to the 4A Jeffco League team title. Conifer placed second and Evergreen took third in the team standings.
Valor cruised to the 5A Jeffco team title winning all five conference tournaments. Valor senior Grace Young’s 37.8 9-hole average was a full stroke better than Arvada West senior Anju Ogi to claim the 5A Jeffco medalist title.
Lakewood finished second and Ralston Valley third in the 5A Jeffco team standings.
ARVADA — Ralston Valley boys lacrosse team responded in a big way Wednesday after suffering its first league loss to the season.
The Mustangs dominated Jeffco rival Chatfield to the tune of 16-3 late Wednesday afternoon at the North Area Athletic Complex.

“We were coming off a tough loss on Monday,” Ralston Valley junior Lane Kellogg said of the Mustangs’ 8-6 defeat against Monarch in a Class 5A League #2 game. “I really think we wanted this game. We were communicating, flying around and sharing the ball really well. It was amazing to see.”
The Mustangs held a 5-2 halftime lead against Monarch, but the Coyotes outscored the Mustangs 6-1 in the second half. It was a completely different ending Wednesday against Chatfield for Ralston Valley.
Kellogg had a monster game offensively scoring six goals. Ralston Valley closed out the game with a 10-0 run and didn’t allow Chatfield (1-5, 0-5 in league) to score in the second half.
“Our focus was really just keep sharing the ball. We weren’t really thinking about the score,” ‘Kellogg said of the Mustangs’ 10-0 run to end out the game. “We really just brought it for all four quarters.”
Sam Lindsey (3 goals), Nicholas Gates (2 goals) and Payton Hevers (27) all the multiple-goal games for the Mustangs (4-3, 4-1).
Ralston Valley defense was stellar in the second half in front of senior goalie Calvin Doucette. Junior Noah Perea finished the game in net for the Mustangs in the largest margin of victory for Ralston Valley on the season.

“Today was a good win, but we also played a full four quarters,” Ralston Valley coach Nick Lewis said. “ That has been one of our issues so far. We’ve played some of the top teams in the state and haven’t had a four-quarter game until today.”
The Mustangs’ three losses this season have come against No. 6 Denver East, No. 11 Monarch and Cherokee Trail.
Ralston Valley could still grab an automatic bid to the 12-team 5A state tournament by winning the 5A League #2 title. Fairview (4-1, 4-0) has the inside track for the conference title, but the Mustangs have a date against Fairview on June 9 at NAAC that could determine Ralston Valley’s playoff future.
“Our goal is to make the playoffs. Our goal is to win a league championship every year,” Lewis said. “We’ve got three more league games. We are going to come out ready to win for every single one.”
Ralston Valley has actually never had a winning season since the program began five years ago.
“I see the potential,” Kellogg said. “We are believing. We’ve got some really big games coming up to get into the playoffs.”
