Fossil Ridge joins 5A volleyball poll at No. 10
Fossil Ridge is the No. 10 team in 5A volleyball this week. More photos. (Kai Casey/CHSAANow.com) Fossil Ridge gave Fairview volleyball its first loss last week. This week, the SaberCats have joined CHSAANow.com’s Class 5A rankings.
Fossil Ridge (13-5) beat Fairview 3-1 on Thursday. They enter the poll at No. 10.
Elsewhere in 5A, Rampart continued to lead the way, and Grandview moved up three places from No. 5 to No. 2 after a week which included a win over then-No. 2 Eaglecrest.
Lewis-Palmer extended its unanimous grip on the 4A poll. The Rangers won a top-2 showdown with Cheyenne Mountain last week.
Each of the other three No. 1 teams also held firm atop their respective rankings. Those are Eaton (3A), Resurrection Christian (2A) and Fleming (1A).
Volleyball’s regular season is winding down. In fact, 1A and 2A are already in their districts. 3A-5A end their regular seasons on Saturday.
As such, these will serve as the final polls of the 2014 season. Regional seeding will post on CHSAANow.com next Monday.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.

State softball roundup: 5A tourney up for grabs after upsets
Castle View took a 11-1 victory over Pine Creek in five innings against Pine Creek to open its Class 5A state tournament run Friday at Aurora Sports Park. More photos. (Dennis Pleuss) AURORA — One thing is for sure when the winning team hoists the Class 5A state softball trophy Saturday at Aurora Sports Park.
It will be a first for somebody.
None of the four teams remaining have ever won a state softball champions in the program’s history. Top-seed Fossil Ridge and No. 4 Castle View square off in one semifinal. No. 6 Grandview and No. 7 Broomfield face each other in the other semifinal at 10 a.m. Saturday at Aurora Sports Park.
The winners are schedule to play in the title game at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. See the full bracket here.
“That No. 1 seed doesn’t scare me,” Castle View coach Caley Mitchell said after her squad advanced into the semifinals with a 1-0 victory against Eaglecrest late Friday afternoon. “It’s going to be Sabercat versus Sabercat.”
Castle View moved on thanks largely because of its senior Savannah Heebner. The 6-foot pitcher allowed just two hits in the Sabercats’ 11-1 victory in the opening round Friday morning against Pine Creek.
Heebner then won a pitching duel a few hours later with Eaglecrest’s ace Alexa Romero. Heebner threw a complete-game shutout allowing just three hits and striking out 10 batters in a 1-0 victory. Castle View’s lone run came in the first inning when junior Kayla Gau’s double drove in sophomore Lexi Kagan.
“She (Heebner) was fired up to play this game,” Mitchell said. “Last year we lost in the first round so our goal this year to make it here and we did. She gets better as she throws longer.”
Castle View had high hopes last year going into the state tournament, but Eaglecrest bounced the Sabercats out in the first round with a 5-4 victory.
“It is our time. Our school motto this year is ‘Our Time’. I believe in that 100 percent,” said Heebner, who has committed to play at the University of Houston next year. “I believe we are going to go all the way.”
Fossil Ridge shut out Arvada West 2-0 in the opening round and then got hot with the bats against Douglas County in the quarterfinals. Fossil Ridge took a 9-5 win to advance to Saturday.
Grandview cruised through into the semifinals with dominating wins against Chaparral and Columbine. While, Broomfield had the most interesting two games having to score double-digit runs against Central of Grand Junction and Horizon to survive.
“That is our thing. Our girls can hit the ball,” Broomfield coach Paula Seifried said after a wild 11-9 victory against Horizon in the quarterfinals.
The Eagles took a 6-0 lead, but gave up eight runs to Horizon in the top of the fourth inning to fall behind 8-6. Broomfield rallied to regain the lead, but the Hawks wouldn’t go do without a fight.
Horizon tied the game at 9-9 going to the bottom of the sixth inning. Broomfield senior Kenzie Brock drove in the eventual-game winning run.

Class 4A tournament

Defending state champion and No. 4 Wheat Ridge squeezed out a pair of one-run victories against Air Academy and Discovery Canyon to keep the Farmers’ hopes for a repeat alive.
Wheat Ridge faces top-seeded Frederick in one semifinal Saturday morning at 10 a.m. The Warriors got victories over D’Evelyn and Ponderosa on Friday.
No. 2 Valor Christian got back Niwot and Mullen to advance into the state semifinal for the first time in the program’s history. The Eagles get 11-time state champion Erie in the other 4A softball at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Class 3A tournament
No surprises on the 3A side.
The top four seeds advanced to Saturday. No. 1 Strasburg, No. 2 Valley, No. 3 La Junta and No. 4 Sterling will battle it out Saturday.
Defending state champion Strasburg has to beat league rival Sterling for the third time this season to advance to the state championship game. The previous two meeting were one-run victories.
Valley, who also has two losses to Strasburg this season, squares off against La Junta in the other semifinal.

Chaparral player taking softball equipment donations at state tournament
Chaparral junior Emily Moore. (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com) Emily Moore hatched a plan to help — but the outpouring of support from her school, community, and even local rivals has been something of a surprise.
Earlier this year, the Chaparral junior was talking with her Spanish teacher about service-learning baseball trips some people take to the Dominican Republic. Then, something struck her.
“We just thought, ‘Wow, they play a lot of baseball. Do they play softball there?’” Moore said on Wednesday.
Yes, she quickly found out, they do. Moore’s mind continued to churn. As the starting shortstop on the Chaparral’s softball team, she wanted to do something similar to the baseball trips. Ultimately, she settled on gathering donations of equipment, which will be shipped to youth athletes in the Dominican Republic.
It’s now called the Diamond Project.
“We just thought of it,” Moore said. “I’ve never done anything like this.”
Her teammates soon joined in the effort, as did the Chaparral community. The next thing Moore knew, opposing teams, including traditional rivals, were dropping off equipment to be donated before or after games.
The softball equipment the Diamond Project has gathered so far. (Courtesy of Emily Moore) “I was not expecting that at all,” Moore said.
This week, the entire Chaparral team came over to Moore’s house to take inventory.
“They were all so excited to count it,” she said. “They’ve been really supportive the whole time.”
Among the haul is 100 bats, 75 pairs of cleats and dozens of softballs. There are helmets; even catcher’s gear.
In partnership with Community Connection International, a non-profit founded by her Spanish teacher, and the Colorado Rockies, the gear will be transported to the Dominican and distributed.
But first, the Diamond Project will collect donations at the state softball tournament. Moore’s Wolverines are in the 5A bracket, so she and her team will have a booth set up at the entrance to Complex B at Aurora Sports Park from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. They’ll then play Grandview at 12:15 p.m.
In addition to softball equipment, financial contributions will also be accepted.
If people are unable to make donations at the state softball tournament, they can contact Moore via email (emily.moore2516@gmail.com) to make other arrangements.

Regional softball roundup: Columbine stuns defending champ Legacy
Columbine’s players celebrate a home run on Saturday. More photos. (Pam Wagner/CHSAANow.com) Jennifer Romero led Columbine to the biggest upset in the softball regionals on Saturday.
The sophomore pitched in all three games her No. 31-seeded Rebels played in the Class 5A bracket, and didn’t allow a run — including a complete-game performance against No. 2 Legacy, the defending 5A champion, which clinched a berth in next weekend’s state tournament.
“She really stepped it up a notch,” Columbine coach Brooks Roybal told CHSAANow.com on Saturday evening. “She pitched really, really well.”
Columbine actually dropped its opening game of the 5A Region 8 bracket at Broomfield Industrial Park. That was also against Legacy, and the Rebels fell 6-0.
But Romero entered in the final two innings of the opening game, and didn’t allow Legacy another run.
Columbine dropped to the loser’s bracket for the second game, and face Cherokee Trail — a team the Rebels had beaten 12-11 in the second game of the season. Like the first meeting, offense ruled. Cherokee Trail led 7-6 midway through before Romero again entered again — and again shut the opposing offense down.
Columbine went on to rally and win that game, 11-7, thanks in part to a home run from Carly Perry.
Meanwhile, Douglas County had topped Cherokee Trail 6-0, and then beat Legacy 7-0 to win the region. It set Columbine up with a rematch, with a berth to state on the line.
This time, Romero started. She pitched a complete-game shutout, and buoyed by a grand slam from Perry, Columbine pulled the upset, 8-0.
More photos. (Pam Wagner/CHSAANow.com) “I think playing against Cherokee Trail, our bats came alive a little bit and they had a little more confidence going against Legacy that second round,” Roybal said. “Especially after we shut them down. Legacy might have been down a little bit, too, because they just got beat by Douglas County. You catch them at the right time sometimes.”
The end result was this: Columbine, a No. 31 seed, moved on to the state tournament, while Legacy did not.
“We told them afterwards it was probably the biggest win Columbine has had in the last eight years,” Roybal said. “We haven’t been a qualifier for seven or eight years.”
Columbine already had a number of big wins this season, including topping Brighton and Ralston Valley.
“They’ve got a few good wins under their belts this year which have been huge,” Roybal said. “You know, we’ve never beat Brighton, we’ve never beaten Ralston Valley. And I’m sure we’ve never beaten Legacy. We’ve always thought we could beat anybody, if we played well.”

Grandview is No. 2 in this week’s 5A volleyball rankings. (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com) Grandview, a winner last week over then-No. 2 Eaglecrest, has made a big jump in CHSAANow.com’s Class 5A volleyball poll this week.
The Wolves moved from No. 5 to No. 2 following the sweep of Eaglecrest, and another of Arapahoe.
Meanwhile, Castle View joined the 5A ranking at No. 10 following a win over No. 3 Chaparral. Chaparral remained at No. 3, just behind consistent No. 1 Rampart and Grandview.
Rampart remained at No. 1 despite its loss to 4A No. 1 Lewis-Palmer, which owns the claim to the best team in the state at the moment.
Each of the three other No. 1 teams also stayed put. Those are Eaton, Resurrection Christian and Fleming.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.
Complete rankings for all classes are below.
