  • Football roundup: Doherty escapes an upset from Westminster

    Doherty football narrowly escaped an upset from Westminster on Thursday, sealing the win with a fourth-down conversion late in the game.

    Up by a point with 1:47 remaining, the Spartans picked up a 4th-and-1 from Westminster’s 23-yard-line.

    Westminster led 14-7 at halftime, before Doherty running back Julian Cooks tied the game up on the Spartans’ first drive of the second half.

    Doherty quarterback Logan Siffert then connected with D’Angelo Shepherd for a go-ahead score later in the third quarter.

    But Westminster kept fighting. The Wolves scored with 8:14 remaining — only to have their extra-point attempt blocked.

    Later, Doherty sealed the win with that fourth-down conversion. The Spartans are now 3-1, while Westminster falls to 0-4.

    Cooks finished with 120 yards rushing for the Spartans. Jaden Martinez also had a rushing score.

    4A: (5) Fruita Monument 21, Grand Junction Central 20

    Fruita Monument was another near-upset victim, but held on to improve to 5-0.

    The Wildcats scored with six minutes remaining on Landon Brown’s pick-six, then Kade McClaskey kicked what proved to be the winning point-after in the 21-20 win.

    “We were in a nice coverage, good call by our coaches, and I just jumped the ball. It was perfect,” Brown told the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel after the game.

    Grand Junction Central had jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter, but Jacob Burns returned a kickoff 89 yards for a score to make it 12-7 at the end of that frame, according to the Daily Sentinel.

    Braeden Graham’s 2-yard rushing touchdown gave Fruita Monument lead at 14-12 just prior to the half.

    Early in the fourth quarter, Grand Junction Central retook the lead on the second of two rushing scores from Joey Estep.

    Ultimately, Brown’s interception with six minutes left proved to be the difference.

  • Arvada West cross country sweeps team titles at Wildcat Invite

    ARVADA — Arvada West’s boys and girls cross country teams successfully protected its home turf Friday, Sept. 15.

    A-West swept the team titles at the 9th annual Wildcat Invite. A-West hosts the 22-team meet at Stenger Soccer Complex, less than 2 miles away from Arvada West High School.

    In the boys varsity race, Eaglecrest senior Mason Brown won the individual title with a time of 16 minutes, 20 seconds. Jefferson Academy senior Ryan Lehmuth (16:27) took second and A-West senior Colin Berndt (16:30) placed third.

    “Obviously not winning it is always going to be upsetting, but it was good and fun for sure,” Berndt said. “I like this run.”

    Junior Drew Craig (6th), along with seniors Andres Perez (13th) and Jacob Valdez (23rd) and junior Nicholas Oliveira (38th) also broke into the top-40 to lead A-West to the team title over Overland. Standley Lake placed third and Ralston Valley took fourth.

    “We could have distanced ourselves a little more,” Berndt said of A-West winning the team title. “None of us really felt that good this week. I’ve been motivating everyone that we’ve got to pull it together next week.”

    Next week is the Dave Sanders Invite on Friday, Sept. 22, held at Clement Park, the same site of the Jeffco League Championships next month. Most of the top Class 5A Jeffco teams will be there to give a preview of what the league championships could look like Oct. 12.

    A-West boys are attempting to win a fourth straight 5A Jeffco team title this season.

    On the girls side, A-West senior Claire Pauley placed second with a time of 18:57 at the Wildcat Invite. Legacy sophomore Brynn Siles dominated the race winning by almost a full 50 seconds.

    “I’m pretty happy,” Pauley said of the race. “Place-wise was definitely good. Time-wise could have been better.”

    Seniors Katie Doucette (5th), Amber Valdez (6th), Civianna Gallegos (15th) and junior Maya Fairchild (32nd) gave the Wildcats a comfortable victory over Legacy (2nd), D’Evelyn (3rd), Denver East (4th) and Green Mountain (5th).

    Pauley said she is excited for the Sanders Meet this coming week.

    “With most of us being seniors we’ve built up our confidence,” Pauley said. “I think we have a pretty good realistic idea on what is going to happen.”
