  • 3A boys soccer: Second half barrage lifts Kent Denver over Roaring Fork for state crown

    COMMERCE CITY — There is something about Dick’s Sporting Goods Park that just brings out the best in Pace Billings and his teammates.

    For the fifth time in six seasons, Kent Denver’s boys soccer team left Commerce City with the Class 3A state trophy in their hands. For the second year in a row, it was Billings who provided the spark. One year after scoring a pair of goals in the title game, the senior gave his team a big lift Saturday afternoon with three consecutive goals in the second half.

    The surge sent Kent Denver to a 5-0 victory over Roaring Fork, capping off a perfect 20-0 season.

    “We’ve got a tremendous senior class, and they have led us through thick and thin,” Sun Devils coach Arty Smith said. “It was one of those seasons where I, as the head coach, was able to defer a lot of the leadership to this senior class.

    “This season, the 20-0 record, it is the senior class that owns that. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

    Kent Denver won championships in 2014-16 and again in 2018, but the team had never finished unbeaten in that stretch. The team is 112-3-4 since 2014, and the senior class goes out with three titles in four years.

    “We’ve had a core bunch of seniors on the team since freshman year when we won the state title,” Billings said. “We’ve been working and working and got to be the best we’ve ever been.”

    Fifth-seeded Roaring Fork (15-3-1) played Kent Denver as tough as anyone had this season through the first 50 minutes of play. It wasn’t until 10 minutes had gone by in the second half that Kent Denver finally broke through, as Rawson Welch sent a perfect cross to the left side of the field. Billings was there to finish it off, putting the team on top to stay.

    “We practice crossing all the time. We put it in the mix, as our coach likes to say,” Billings said. “It was a great ball. He made it easy for me.”

    Midway through the second half Billings again took a cross, this time from Max Hewitt, and punched it home to make it 2-0. That ignited a three-goal outburst in less than three minutes, with Billings and Hewitt adding goals.

    “Before the game we talked about being patient. We figured Roaring Fork would try to stay very organized defensively, and they did,” Smith said. “I thought in the first half we had the better possession and probably wore them out a little bit. We got that first one, and I think Roaring Fork probably had to come out of their shell a little bit. It gave us a little bit more space, and then kind of the floodgates opened.”

    Layton Purchase added a goal with a little more than seven minutes remaining to cap the scoring.

    For Pace, scoring five goals at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in two years is a good feeling, but the senior was quick to point out that he doesn’t get those without his teammates.

    “It’s lucky that comes at this time, but it’s not just me. I credit all of my teammates and everybody for helping me get there,” Billings said. “They’re team goals, but it’s good that it comes here.”

    Roaring Fork keeper Noah Wheeless faced a steady attack throughout the game, finishing with 10 saves. The Sun Devils backline didn’t allow much pressure though on the other end for senior keeper Joey Waldbaum, who had to make only one first-half save.

    Smith said next fall will be much different, given how many players will graduate. He said the junior class will pick up the mantle, and much of that legacy will be because of this year’s seniors.

    “It will be the turning of the page next year,” Smith said. “I think we have 14 seniors, and we’re going to miss every single one of them. But certainly their legacy will live on.”

  • Photos: Roaring Fork advances to 3A boys soccer title game by beating Salida

    DENVER — Roaring Fork won its respective semifinal games to advance to Saturday’s Class 3A boys soccer final.

  • 3A boys soccer: No. 5 Roaring Fork to meet No. 2 Kent Denver for state crown

    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    DENVER — With less than four minutes left in the first overtime period, Roaring Fork coach Nicholas Forbes couldn’t watch. His Rams had just been awarded a penalty kick and as he had all season, Ross Barlow strode to the top of the goal box.

    If there were any nerves surrounding the situation, they were all rattling around in the head coach. The shooter was calm as could be. And it showed when he ripped his shot to the left side to give Roaring Fork a 2-1 win and a spot in the Class 3A boys soccer state championship game on Saturday. The Rams also beat the Spartans in last year’s state tournament.

    He may not have look scared of the moment, but when he looks at his celebrating teammates and reflecting on the situation, he admits that’s a tough spot to be in.

    “I’m pretty nervous,” Barlow said. “But I’ve learned to control myself and take a deep breath.”

    It wasn’t too long into the contest when before the Spartans (17-1-1 overall) made a play on the net. As the ball bounced around in front of the Roaring Fork net, Quinn Bosanko was in a perfect spot to put his head on it. The only problem is that Rams keeper Noah Wheeless was in a perfect spot to make the save.

    Just four minutes later the Rams (15-2-1) found an open look of their own as Dylan Webster navigated his way to the center of the field with no Salida defender between him and the net. His shot jumped off his foot and over the net, leaving the Roaring Fork fans – and Webster himself – in disbelief.

    After using the bulk of the first half to feel each other out, the two teams dialed up pressure on their respective offensive ends. Two corner kicks in a span of three minutes for Salida nearly led to the game’s first goal, but again it was Wheeless punching the ball again to preserve the tie.

    Another scrum in front of the Rams net again almost put the Spartans up before Wheeless was able to dive on it. With about 20 minutes remaining in regulation, it was beginning to look as though one goal on either side would get the job done.

    That goal finally came in the 74th minute as the ball was played in front of the Roaring Fork net where Wheeless moved up to make a play on it.

    But Brown was too quick. He corralled the ball and pushed it just off to the side to give himself a wide-open look at the net. After all the chances that hadn’t converted, there was no way Brown was missing that one.

    “We’ve been working on him owning the goal box, so kind of being more assertive in there,” Forbes said. “I think the ball just kind of bounced a little off for him.”

    A one-goal lead in this game felt like it was going to be enough, but Barlow had other ideas. He scored the equalizer with one minute, 20 seconds left on the clock. The game went into overtime and it was the Rams consistently on the attack. A foul called in the box gave Roaring Fork a penalty kick with 3:32 left in the first 15 minute session.

    Forbes may not have been able to look, but there was no mistaking the sound of a good goal when Barlow connected and kept the Rams’ state title hopes alive.

    (2) Kent Denver 4, (3) Atlas Prep 2

    Pace Billings didn’t wait long to show Atlas Prep just why Kent Denver is the defending 3A boys soccer champion. The senior was in the right spot to bury the rebound from Max Hewitt’s shot to put the Sun Devils up early.

    Max Hewitt added a goal 13 minutes later to push the Sun Devils’ (19-0) lead to 2-0. Suddenly with their backs against the wall, the Gryphons (17-1-1) pressed offensively and Luis Vega connected on a rush to cut the Kent lead in half.

    But Billings added another and Spencer Thomas added another to quickly make it a 4-1 game just over a half hour into play.

    The Gryphons scored the first goal of the second half thanks to a penalty kick opportunity. Lamario Nisbeth put his kick in the right side of the net to make it a 4-2 game. 

    But it wouldn’t be enough. No one else scored for the remainder of the game and Kent Denver is set to defend its 3A state championship when it faces Roaring Fork on Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

  • No. 5 Roaring Fork boys soccer wins a top-5 matchup vs. No. 3 Delta

    (Jonathan Delgado)

    In a top-5 Class 3A boys soccer matchup, No. 5 Roaring Fork beat No. 3 Delta on Thursday.

    The Rams won, 2-1.

    “I believe it was a team effort,” Roaring Fork coach Nick Forbes said. “I feel like that every single player from starters to players coming off the bench showed they wanted it more.”

    Roaring Fork scored two first half goals, the first from Emiliano Magana and the second from Dylan Webster.

    “Every single player from starters to players coming off the bench wanted it more and that showed by our effort on the field,” Roaring Fork goalkeeper Noah Wheeless said.

    Delta scored a second half goal as Martin Corral scored on a cross by Nathan Downey.

    “I feel Roaring Fork came out with more intensity and we didn’t match it early on,” Delta coach Paul Shean said. “They put in two goals as they took advantage of our slow start. We played hard, but against good teams if you let your guard down for a couple minute stretch it will always find a way to hurt you. Credit to Coach Forbes and his squad for coming out the better team today.”
