    LAKEWOOD — D’Evelyn was about as efficient on offensive that any football team can wish for in the opening half Saturday night at Trailblazer Stadium.

    The Jaguars (7-2, 4-1 in the 2A Flatirons League) ran 14 offensive plays from scrimmage in the first half against Denver West. D’Evelyn scored touchdowns on six of those plays to take a 42-0 lead at halftime.

    “It’s actually really good that our offense did that well today. We needed that confidence,” D’Evelyn running back Kyle Klataske said. “We weren’t putting up a lot of points the last couple of games.”

    D’Evelyn, No. 8 in the current CHSAANow.com Class 2A football rankings, rolled to a 42-8 victory over the Cowboys in the regular-season finale for both teams.

    Klataske got things going for the Jaguars with a 50-yard touchdown run to atone for a fumble on D’Evelyn’s first drive of the game. The senior tailback finished with 10 carries for 113 yards to go over the 1,000-yard mark on the season.

    “I was very happy because I missed three games,” Klataske said of going over the century mark. “To do it in six games, I’m really happy with that.”

    Sophomore Luca McIntyre (11-yard TD) and senior Rome McIntyre (23-yard TD catch from junior quarterback Chad Dines) scored to give the Jaguars a 21-0 lead after the first quarter.

    Senior Dante Lombardi scored on a 77-yard run, Klataske scampered into the end zone from 14 yards out and senior quarterback Josh Brinkerhoff had a 16-yard touchdown run to close out the first half.

    “We got to see the first couple of series of what we want to do on offense and we got a lot of guys on the field,” D’Evelyn coach Jeremy Bennett said. “That was important.”

    While the Jaguars have been known for its high-powered passing attack over the years, D’Evelyn’s ground game is what will likely carry the load heading into the playoffs. Evidence of that came last week when Klataske had 22 carries for 371 yards and four touchdowns in a 42-7 win over Middle Park.

    “We had to look in the mirror as a staff and say, ‘This is what we have and what we can do,’” Bennett said. “We’ve got a couple of guys who can throw it, but it’s still not the same. We’ve got a good running back and a couple of quarterbacks who can run. We’ve got receivers who can block and we’ll get them involved in the running game.”

    D’Evelyn was in decent shape going into the regular-season finale when it comes to making the postseason. The Jaguars were No. 6 in the RPI rankings thanks to a tough non-league schedule, which includes a victory over Sterling (6-3), 2A Patriot East League champion.

    A loss two weeks ago to Faith Christian cost D’Evelyn its own league title. The Eagles (6-3) will receive the automatic playoff bid in winning the 2A Flatirons. The Jaguars should finish in the top 16 in the RPI and not get bumped out by a league champion that is outside the top 16.

    “My guess is we’ll be on the road. I think we could be anywhere from an 8 to 13 seed,” Bennett said. “Humans are now going to seed this thing and you get what you get, but we are excited to be in. We’ll get after it.”

    The 16-team 2A state playoff tournament bracket is scheduled to be release on CHSAANow.com tomorrow, Sunday, Oct. 30. First-round games will be played Saturday, Nov. 5.

    “I don’t know if it is pressure, but we want to come out and show what we’ve been through these last four years,” D’Evelyn senior linebacker Nolan Balbin said about the playoffs. “There are 17 of us seniors. We want to show what we are capable of doing.”

    The complete brackets are available here:

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

    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: The Classical Academy moves up to No. 1 in 4A

    (Lance Wendt/LanceWendt.com)

    Boys soccer in Class 4A has been competitive across the board all season. This week is just another indication of that as The Classical Academy takes over the No. 1 in the poll, knocking Cheyenne Mountain down to No. 2.

    The Indians played to a tie with Palmer Ridge last week.

    Lewis-Palmer climbs to No. 3 thanks a 2-1 win over Air Academy last Thursday night.

    Silver Creek is the only new team in the 4A poll, coming in at No. 10.

    Boulder received every first-place vote this week to remain the unquestioned top team in the 5A rankings. Denver East still sits at No. 2. Both teams remain unbeaten on the year.

    At No. 9 Arvada West is the only team to break into the 5A poll this week.

    Kent Denver is still the No. 1 team in 3A, but KIPP surged up the rankings to come in as the new No. 2 team.

    Salida lands at No. 10 and is the only new team in the 3A poll.

    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 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.

    Complete rankings for each class are below.
