  • Football roundup: Erie makes a statement with another top-10 win

    (Steven Higgins)

    A week after beating sixth-ranked Silver Creek, Erie football has another top-10 feather in its cap.

    On Friday night, the Tigers, now ranked No. 3 in Class 3A, beat No. 4 Berthoud 33-7.

    “Playing in the Tri-Valley (League), it doesn’t get any easier,” coach Chad Cooper told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show after the game. “I told our kids to enjoy this one tonight, but tomorrow morning we’re back to work and getting ready for Holy Family.

    “It’s kind of similar to a playoff run where you can’t let down,” Cooper continued. “It’ll be good to kind of prepare us for the playoffs. You can’t have any let downs in the playoffs. It’ll be a great test for us.”

    Erie’s Jacob Mansdorfer hit Alex Mathis with a touchdown pass just before the end of the first half to push the Tigers’ lead to 20-7.

    Noah Roper rushed for two second-half touchdowns, and also recovered two fumbles on defense. He returned one of those for a touchdown. Roper had 165 yards rushing.

    “Noah, obviously, is a talented kid. He kind of does it all for us,” Cooper said. “He runs extremely hard and is able to grind on people, too, with the style that we have on offense.”

    6-man: (5) Prairie 44, (1) Peetz 41

    Prairie got the go-ahead score with 11.8 seconds remaining to secure the upset of previously unbeaten Peetz.

    “It was just a dive to the right to Trenton Holzworth, one of our seniors, and he was able to power through a couple of kids and was able to get the ball in,” coach Justin Kerns told the Scoreboard Show of the winning score.

    Prairie is now 6-0 this season.

    “The players here are excited, the kids are excited,” Kerns said.

    2A: (3) Platte Valley 42, (6) Sterling 21

    Tied at 21 at halftime, Platte Valley reeled of 21 unanswered points in the second half to secure a big win and move to 6-0 this season.

    “It was one heck of a game up here for homecoming week, that’s for sure,” coach Troy Hoffman told the Scoreboard Show.

    Hoffman praised his team’s effort on defense, which forced four turnovers.

    “The kids created some opportunities and some turnovers,” Hoffman said. “We just needed to do that, play a little more aggressive in the second half, and when you get four turnovers, a lot of times good things happen for you, and it sure did for us tonight.

    Senior Zach Waite had four touchdowns, including runs of 55 and 50 yards, and Ernseto Rios and Trevon Wehrman also score the the Mustangs.

    Platte Valley had more than 400 yards of total offense.

    Blake Stenstrom threw two touchdown passes, Joshia Davis rushed for 118 and a score and caught a TD pass, and the Eagles got yet another big win in their non-conference slate.

    Valor Christian is now 5-0.

    “We feel like playing great teams helps us refine what we need to do,” Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We’re not scared to lose. This is the first time in five, six, seven years that we’ve actually been undefeated out of our non-conference. If you’re not scared to lose, then these games are really good, because it helps you grow.”

    Sherman pointed to his team’s ability to run the football, and stop Cherry Creek from doing the same, as one of the differences in the game.

    “With a team like Creek, they’re so talented and they do such a great job coaching, if you let them be balanced, you’re in trouble,” he said. “And ultimately we ran the ball really well and we stopped the run.”

    1A: Aspen 34, Coal Ridge 28

    Aspen entered 4-0, and Coal Ridge was 3-1, so their matchup on Friday was a good one. Ultimately, the Skiers won 34-28 to improved to 5-0.

    Aspen won just two games last season, and hadn’t won five games in a season since 2013. It’s Aspen’s best start since opening 7-0 in 2010.

    “We challenged (the kids) to understand what it takes to be successful,” Aspen coach Karson Pike told the Scoreboard Show about the team’s turnaround. “They did a good job this summer and this spring. … That’s really where we grew up.”

    2A: (5) La Junta 21, (3) The Classical Academy 11

    The Tigers picked up a big top-five win a week after dropping another top-five matchup.

    “It was a big win for us to get back on the winning track,” La Junta coach Clint Buderus told the Scoreboard Show. “The kids played good. It was huge for us.”

    La Junta, the defending 2A champion, had its 16-game winning streak snapped last Saturday in a loss to now No. 1 Kent Denver. So this win was a big bounce-back following that game.

    “We played better tonight,” Buderus said.

    1A: (1) Bennett 76, (10) Clear Creek 36

    The top-ranked Tigers handed Clear Creek its first loss this season.

    Bennett rushed for more than 600 yards in the game, including 515 in the first half.

    Bennett, which reached the semifinals last season, is now 5-0 this season. Clear Creek is 4-1.

    8-man (3) Haxtun 29, (8) Dayspring Christian 21

    A fourth-quarter touchdown lifted Haxtun to the win and a 5-0 start this season.

    The team teams were knotted at 21 going into the final frame, and at 6-6 at halftime, before Haxtun pulled away.

    Dayspring Christian is now 3-2.

  • 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.”

  • Football roundup: Skyview starts 2-0 for first time since 2011

    Anthony Gonzalez, meanwhile had two interceptions that he returned for touchdowns.

    Marcus Kemm, a junior, led the defense with nine tackles.

    Weld Central had one of its best seasons in year last season when the Rebels went 8-2 and reached the 2A playoffs. They face Jefferson next week.
