  • 4A wrestling: Pueblo East wins first title in program history

    Pueblo East wrestling
    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    DENVER — Pueblo East won its first wrestling title in school history at the Class 4A state wrestling championships. After losing the team race last year, this one was about redemption.

    “We were in the same situation as last year: it was on me, Zion (Freeman) and Andy (Garcia),” Pueblo East’s Dominic Robles said after his match. “[Last year] two of us had to win, and me and Zion lost. I told them before our matches, before we won the team title, I told them, ‘We have to get redemption from last year.’”

    After the Eagles ripped off three straight first place finishes off of two pins, they could breathe out.

    “We have the best heavyweight room in the state,” Andy Garcia said. “Obviously, three back-to-back-to-back. Everyday it’s like that, it’s a battle, it’s a grind with all three of us.”

    First, with the 195-pound match locked at two and under 30 seconds remaining in the last round, Zion Freeman pinned Cheyenne Mountain’s Nico Gagliardi. 

    Then came Robles. Robles narrowly lost last year in a 3-2 decision, but this year, he pinned Canon City’s Gage Pruitt in the 220-pound bout in 1:36.

    “Right before my match, we clinched the team title, so that was going through my head,” Robles said. “I finally got the individual [title]. I came close last year, losing 3-2. I finally was able to accomplish my goal. Getting a pin in the first period of the state finals, that’s huge.”

    Garcia capped the redemption run off in his heavyweight bout to claim his third straight title — a 4-3 decision over Broomfield’s Tyler Carpenter.

    “I felt like I was going to dominate,” Garcia said. “We went out there, and in our first interaction [Carpenter] did a weird foot trip that caught my heel. I felt my knee give out, and that’s when I knew it was gonna be a long match.”

    To Windsor and Pueblo County, first place finishes have been commonplace in recent years as five of the last eight 4A titles have come from the two schools.

    This year, Pueblo County (181.5 team points) and Windsor (170) were in the thick of it, and rounded out the top three behind Pueblo East (200). Pueblo County made a push on the final day as three wrestlers took first place finishes. 

    “I always focus on myself and what I can do in my match, so I wasn’t really too worried about the team score,” Pueblo County’s Jax Garoutte said as the gap in the team race thinned. “It’s a great feeling to finally get it done and my teammates are getting it done, too. We’re all working hard, everything is paying off for us.”

    With Windsor gunning for a repeat team championship and Pueblo County looking for its third title in four years, Pueblo East took the team title.

    Three wrestlers three-peat

    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    Three wrestlers will be looking to become four-time champions next year. Dominick Serrano (Windsor), Isaiah Salazar (Windsor) and the previously mentioned Garcia (Pueblo East) all took first and held three fingers in the air in celebration.

    Windsor’s Dominick Serrano continued his quest to become a four-time champion with a major decision over Canon City’s James Ruona in the 132-pound division.

    “It would mean the world,” Serrano said on capturing the fourth title next year. “I’m just going to focus on winning another title. I just won one today — next year, it’s a new year and mindset. I’m after one state title, one state title next year.”

    Serrano was fired up to get on the mat and keep Windsor climbing in the team scores. 

    “I was ready to get in there after seeing my two teammates win it,” Serrano said. “I was pumped it was my turn. I was ready to go.”

    Windsor’s Isaiah Salazar joined his teammate Serrano as a three-time champion after a 10-0 major decision against Pueblo County’s Jayson Davis in the 182-pound division.

    “We weren’t in the team race by any means, but just winning it for myself even as an individual— helping my brothers out — it was nice,” Salazar said.

    The Wizards could have two four-time champions this time next year. 

    “Me and Dom next year, we have to take it one match at a time,” Salazar said. “We can’t look to get four right away. We have to grind the season out and see what happens at state.”

    106-pound division

    Windsor’s Brady Parker defeated Pueblo Central’s Dominick Castro with a 10-2 major decision in his first year wrestling at the state championships. 

    113-pound division

    Pueblo County’s Brendon Garcia capped off his high school campaign as a four-time champion. He was the first of three four-time champions this year. Garcia came away with a 7-3 decision over Pueblo East’s Xavier Espinoza.

    120-pound division

    Will Vombaur gave Windsor its second individual champion with his pin of Mountain View’s Malachi Contreras. 

    126-pound division

    Patrick Allis of Discovery Canyon placed first for the second year in a row with an 11-5 decision vs. Ryan Roth of Pueblo East. Allis was the 120-pound division champion in 2018. 

    138-pound division

    Broomfield’s Darren Green grinded out a 3-2 decision vs. Pueblo East’s Aaden Valdez. Green, a junior, placed third in 2018.

    145-pound division

    After losing in a tiebreaker of last year’s championship, Pueblo County’s Jax Garoutte made his way back to the title bout. The result: A 10-2 major decision over Pueblo Central’s Cole Hernandez.

    “I had a heartbreaker in the finals last year,” Garoutte said. “I’ve worked my butt off this season, so it’s just a reward for all my hard work. I wouldn’t sacrifice it for anything, I wouldn’t work any less hard. Man, it’s just a great feeling.”

    Garoutte waited 371 days for a second chance.

    “It weighed on me like, ‘Man I have this deep, dark place I don’t ever wanna go again,’” Garoutte continued. “That motivated me to keep wrestling in that match and put some points up.”

    152-pound division

    Greeley Central’s Andrew Alirez etched his name into the list of four-time champions with a pin vs. Pueblo County’s Trevor Singleton. Alirez, a perfect 36-0 this season, secured the pin in just over three minutes.

    160-pound division

    Christopher Fasano kept the wins flowing for Pueblo County with a 2-0 decision in his match against Coronado’s KJ Kearns. Fasano ended 2018 with a second place finish, losing to Mesa Ridge’s Elijah Valdez.

    170-pound division

    Longmont’s Drake Engelking held off Windsor’s Cody Eaton in a hard-fought 3-2 decision.

  • Holy Family tops Mountain View to win 4A state softball title

    Holy Family softball team champions
    (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)

    AURORA — Through a dominating 27-2 record in the 2018 season, Holy Family capped a special season with a Class 4A state title behind the right-hand of senior pitcher Erin Caviness and timely hitting.

    Up against reigning champ and regular contender Mountain View (20-7-2), the Lady Tigers ran away with a 10-3 victory.

    Offensively, Holy Family had its frustrations early on, particularly in the first inning after loading the bases with one-out and not plating a run. The following frame, similar fits with an inning-ending double play on a line drive at the pitcher ended the scare for MV.

    However, Holy Family broke through in the third after the leadoff homer by junior Anna Martinez. The flood gates then opened in the frame after seniors Sara Rode (error), Erin Winters (single) and Caviness (walk) loaded the bases with nobody out.

    Sophomore Tyler Whitlock corked a sacrifice fly to right field to bring in the second run before Caviness’ heads-up base running scored on a wild pitch to expand the lead to three.

    Retiring six of the first seven batters faced, Caviness looked to be in control, but the Lady Mountain Lions then pounced.

    Senior Jaelyn Taylor began things with a leadoff shot to right-center field. Three batters later following a one-out walk, sophomore Bailey Carlson helped herself with a mammoth two-run home run to left to tie things at three. The two home runs were two of the three hits that Caviness allowed all day.

    “I know they all have my back,” Caviness said. It’s cool to know I could not strike everyone out, and they would still have my back.”

    Did they ever.

    Holy Family didn’t waste any time, getting their senior hurler back the lead with a five-run outburst to put the Lady Tigers back ahead. A two-run single by Martinez, a two-run double by Caviness and an RBI-single by Whitlock outlined the scoring.

    “This team never lets up,” Martinez said. “Even if someone hits a home run or something goes in the other direction for the team, we still keep each other up and keep each other going. No matter what, I know my teammates are behind me.”

    Eight runs were more than enough for Caviness, but two more crossed home in the sixth after the two-out, two-run RBI triple by Whitlock. Caviness concluded her spectacular complete game with seven innings thrown with eight strikeouts and three walks. Other than the fourth inning, she was in full control.

    “The mental approach she has had this year as a senior has been amazing,” Holy Family coach Mitch Martinez said. “Nothing fazes her and even though it sounds redundant but you just do what you do, and that’s what she has done all year long.”

    In their fifth year in 4A, Holy Family has escalated to the top quickly, and with the talent and coaching present, expect to see this program in the spotlight routinely.

    “We have been here for five years, and we just kept working,” Martinez said. “These seniors have been with us and have worked and led and that’s why we are here. We don’t get ahead of ourselves. We stay focused on every inning, try to keep pressure on people, and put the ball in play. We want to make the other team make plays, and the formula worked for this group. Put the ball in play, good things happen.”

    AURORA — Berthoud was trailing its first round game to Pueblo West 9-1 at one point on Friday.

    The Spartans will take the field at 10 a.m. to play in the Class 4A softball semifinals. They scored 10 unanswered runs to beat West, then jumped out to a lead against the bracket’s top-seeded Pueblo County and held on to win 4-2.

    Natalie Fischer doubled in the fourth and later scored to up 1-0. Sarah Jorissen and Addison Spears added runs in the fifth and and Sophie Supernor blasted a solo home run in the sixth to go up 4-0.

    The Hornets scored one in the sixth and got another in the bottom of the seventh. Morgan McCabe reached base on a single, moving Samantha McCord to second. McCabe represented the tying run, but Kaylin Mares grounded out to end the game.

    The Hornets will meet Mountain View Saturday morning with the winner advancing to the 4A state title game.
