    Luke Bailey and Alex Cregan each won the Giant Slalom events during the state skiing championships at Ski Cooper on Thursday. They are the first-ever individual champions from Platte Canyon. The school had never placed an individual higher than third.

    Bailey won the boys event with a two-run total of 2:09:09. Vail Mountain’s Michael Resnick was second (2:10.02), and Evergreen’s Hayden Holtrop was third (2:10.97). Bailey had the top time in each run, improving his first-run time from 1:05.13 to 1:03.96 in his second.

    Bailey finished seventh last season in the GS during the state championships.

    Evergreen led the team score in the alpine event, finishing with 163 points. Aspen was second with 162, and Battle Mountain (151) was third.

    Cregan captured the girls event by finishing her two runs in 2:15.44. Aspen’s Devan McSwain was second (2:15.90), and her teammate Levyn Thomas was third in 2:16.11.

    Cregan had never finished higher than fifth this season in the GS, and was 12th at state last season.

    Aspen had the most team points from the Giant Slalom with 167, Evergreen had 141, and Durango was third with 137.

    In the Nordic side of things on Thursday morning, Vail Mountain’s Cameron Wolfe captured the Nordic Classic title, winning the event in 16:48. Everett Olson of Aspen was second in 16:56, and his teammate Jacob Barsness (17:25) finished third.

    It was Wolfe’s first state title. He finished second in the Classic last season, and was third in the Skate. He also placed third in the Classic in 2016. This season’s Nordic Skate race is on Friday afternoon.

    Olson and Barsness paced Aspen as the Skiers jumped out to the lead in the team race. Combined with an 11th-place finish from Noah Wheeless, Aspen finished with an event-best 167 points. Summit (162) was second as a team, paced by Peter Haynes’ fourth-place finish.

    Aspen’s Chelsea Moore won the girls Classic event, finishing in 19:23. Kate Oldham of Colorado Rocky Mountain placed second (19:45), and Noelle Resignolo of Summit (20:26) was third.

    Moore had placed third in last year’s Classic, and was fourth in the Skate. In 2016, she was 12th in the Classic.

    Aspen and Vail Mountain tied for the lead in the Classic as a team, both earning 163 points. Emma and Molly Blaksee finished fifth and sixth for Vail Mountain, while Aspen also had Lizzy Barsness place eighth.

    In terms of the overall team race, Aspen heads both the boys and the girls events.

    The Skiers are on top of the boys event with 329 points. Battle Mountain sits in second with 296. Vail Mountain, the defending champion, is third (295), Steamboat Springs (284) is fourth, and Middle Park (281) is fifth.

    Aspen also leads the girls event, totaling 330 points after Thursday. Battle Mountain (280) is second, Summit (267) is third, Lake County (265) is fourth, and Vail Mountain is fifth (252).

  • Lack of snow causes postponement of race at Ski Cooper on Friday

    (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)

    The state’s skiing schedule is scheduled to get underway on Friday, but a lack of snow at the mountain has caused one of the two events to be postponed.

    Seven teams were slated to compete in the giant slalom at Ski Cooper. A lack of accumulated snow on the mountain, combined with a forecast of high winds and dry conditions through the week, have caused it to cancelled. The event will be moved to a new location the week prior to the state championships.

    Lake County, Middle Park, Aspen, Clear Creek, Nederland, Platte Canyon and Summit were scheduled to race at Ski Cooper on Friday.

    The giant slalom event scheduled to be held at Beaver Creek on Friday remains on as scheduled. Teams competing include Battle Mountain, Colorado Rocky Mountain, Durango, Evergreen, Eagle Valley, Vail Mountain and Steamboat Springs.

  • All-state football teams for the 2017 season

    The 2017 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.

    These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.

    Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.

    CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created entirely from the results of the coaches’ vote.

  • Football roundup: Garnes leads No. 3 Eaglecrest past No. 5 Grandview

    More photos. (Ray Chen/ArrayPhoto.com)

    Victor Garnes had two receiving touchdowns, and third-ranked Eaglecrest football beat Grandview 21-14 in a big Class 5A game on Friday.

    Eaglecrest is now 3-0, while Grandview moves to 2-1.

    Both of Garnes’ scores came on great throws from Raptors quarterback Jalen Mergerson, a senior.

    The first came on fourth-and-11, midway through the second quarter. The second was a 34-yard catch and run that saw Garnes juke out a crowd of defenders on his way to the end zone.

    Kenny Wanting got Eaglecrest started with a 2-yard rushing touchdown late in the first quarter.

    Grandview’s Aaron Harris blocked a punt that the Wolves recovered for a touchdown to cut into Eaglecrest’s lead early in the third quarter. They had possession deep in the Raptors’ territory on their next possession, but the drive stalled and the Wolves turned it over on fourth down.

    Eaglecrest then went back up 21-7, and held that lead for most of the fourth quarter.

    Grandview did score with 31 seconds remaining to make it a one-score game again, but Eaglecrest recovered the onside kick.

    4A: (10) Pueblo West 55, (3) Pueblo South 54 (2OT)


    In a wild one, Pueblo West took down their crosstown foe in two overtimes.

    The game was tied at 42 after regulation — but Pueblo West had to rally to get to that point. South led 35-21 at the half, only to see Pueblo West tie the game at 35 in the third quarter.

    South again took the lead late in the third quarter at 42-35, and West again responded with a touchdown with four minutes to play.

    In overtime, West scored first, only to miss an extra point attempt. South also scored — and also missed an extra point.

    South opened the second overtime with another touchdown, but again missed the extra point. West responded with a score, and the extra point was good, giving the Cyclones the win.

    3A: Roosevelt 15, (3) Longmont 12

    Roosevelt scored 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to come roaring back and upset the Trojans.

    The Roughriders’ defense got their team started with a safety early in the fourth quarter, and then Angelo Hurtado cut it to 12-9 with a 21-yard rushing touchdown.

    Four minutes later, Roosevelt’s Trent Beall scored what proved to be the winning touchdown on a 14-yard rush.

    Jaydon Elkins had a rushing touchdown for Longmont.

    4A: (4) Windsor 40, (8) Broomfield 14

    (Steve Oathout)

    Windsor jumped out to a 26-0 lead at halftime, and the Wizards kept their foot on the pedal in the second half en route to the big win.

    Quarterback Connor Apodaca, a senior, accounted for four total touchdowns, including two through the air.

    Jaedyn Traut and Gerald Mack also had rushing scores for the Wizards.

  • Boys golf roundup: Rifle’s Jacob Smith defends the home course for the Bears

    Jacob Smith recovers from his lone double-bogey with an eagle and cruised to a win at Tuesday’s Rifle Invitational.

    He ended his day with a four-under-par 68, winning the tournament by a staggering 13 strokes. He couldn’t lift his team to the title, however, as Summit was able to edge Rifle by just three strokes.

    But it was Smith who impressed the most on the day. He went three-under going out, including an eagle on No. 2, a 477-yard par five.

    His second eagle on the day came on No. 17, a hole after he made double-bogey. He recorded only two holes over par through the entire round.

    Tyler Horii was the top player for Summit, shooting a 81 to help lead his team to a win.

    Cherry Creek edged out Legend to claim the top overall seed in 5A. The Bruins (14-5) got back on track after a two-game skid just in time for the state tournament.

    No. 2 Legend will host Region 5 which includes No. 31 Pomona, No. 19 Grand Junction Central and No. 18 Fairview.

    Last year’s runner-up Rocky Mountain comes in at No. 4. The Lobos won’t be seeing the team that won the title over them as defending champion Cherokee Trail did not make the postseason.

    No. 3 Mountain Vista will play host in Region 7.

    No. 5 Rock Canyon gets Grandview in the first round in Region 4. No. 12 Heritage and No. 21 Grand Junction are on the other side of the bracket. 

    Mountain Range grabbed the No. 6 spot and will host Region 8.

    No. 7 Regis Jesuit and No. 10 Broomfield are set up for a potential matchup in Region 6 if they can get past No. 26 Loveland and No. 23 Arapahoe, respectively.

    Legacy is the final regional host at No. 8.

    Denver North is on top in 4A after capping an undefeated regular season. The Vikings went 18-1 in the regular season last year, before losing to Niwot in district play.

    Defending champion Valor Christian and runner-up Pueblo West will both host. The No. 3 Eagles will host Region 7, while the No. 6 Cyclones will host Region 8.

    No. 2 Windsor (17-2) is the Region 5 host. Also in the bracket are No. 31 Wheat Ridge, No. 15 Summit and No. 18 Thomas Jefferson.

    Evergreen, Fort Morgan and Pueblo East will be making the trek out to No. 4 Palisade as the Bulldogs earned a host spot.

    Air Academy came in at No. 5 and will face Rifle in its first round matchup.

    No. 7 Silver Creek and No. 8 Canon City make up the rest of the regional hosts.

    The Mustangs are in Region 5, hosted by Lutheran — the No. 2 overall seed.

    No. 3 University will host Region 7 that includes defending champion Faith Christian and The Academy. The Bulldogs will face Kent Denver in the first game.

    La Junta and Peak to Peak are the No. 4 and 5 seed, respectively. 

    Delta came in at No. 6, earning a Region 4 host. The Panthers are on an 11-game win streak. 

    Bayfield is the No. 7 seed and Region 6 host. Resurrection Christian faces Salida, while Bayfield gets Denver Science & Tech: Stapleton.

    Bennett (14-4) rounds out the top eight seeds. The Tigers are a strong No. 8 seed, with No. 9 Colorado Academy on the other side of their bracket.

  • Baseball rankings: Cherry Creek, Valor Christian move up to No. 1 spots

    (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)

    Cherry Creek and Valor Christian are picking the right time to peak. After all, in hunt for a state baseball championship teams put more emphasis on how they’re playing in May, not in March.

    In the last week of April, the Bruins and the Eagles have made their way into their respective top spots in the CHSAANow.com baseball rankings.

    Cherry Creek takes nine of 12 first-place votes to come in as the new No. 1 in the Class 5A poll. The Bruins unseat Rock Canyon, which falls to No.2 after a 12-10 loss to Regis Jesuit last week.

    The Raiders are just one of three new teams to crack the 5A top 10. Douglas County enters the poll this week at No. 7 and Broomfield, fresh off a shutout win over Mountain Range comes in at No. 9.

    Valor Christian — the defending 4A champion — regains the top spot in that class, jumping up three spots from last week’s ranking.

    The Eagles overtake No. 2 Cheyenne Mountain, which claimed the top spot a week ago.

    Still undefeated, Denver North climbs a couple of spots to take the No. 4 position this week, grabbing a couple of first-place votes in the process.

    Summit and Pueblo West are the two newcomers in the 4A poll, taking the No. 9 and No. 10 spots respectively. 

    Lamar remains the No. 1 team in the 3A rankings, but University was able to jump a spot to land at No. 2.

    Peak to Peak (No. 5) and Colorado Academy (No. 6) each climbed two spots from last week’s poll.

    There were no new teams in the 3A poll.

    Paonia held its spot at the top of the 2A poll. Sedgwick County jumped a spot to No. 4 and County Line fell a spot to No. 5, but no other changes occurred in the 2A rankings.

    Holly did not play a game last week and it didn’t effect anything in the least as the Wildcats are still No.1 in the rankings.

    Fleming (No. 2) and Cheyenne Wells (No. 4) each jumped a spot from last week. Three new teams joined the 1A poll as Denver Jewish Day comes in at No. 6, Stratton/Liberty takes the No. 9 spot and Sierra Grande rounds out the poll at No. 10.

    The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association.

    New polls are released each Monday during the regular season.

    Complete rankings for all classes are below.
