  • Arizona trips can be a big tool to build excitement in baseball programs

    Manitou Springs baseball
    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Three years ago, Manitou Springs stood tall as the Class 3A state runner-up. A combination of solid play and veteran experience led the Mustangs to a second-place finish for just the second time in school history.

    It has been a steady decline since then. After the 2017 season, coach Cory Archuleta walked away and Brandon DeMatto stepped into the position. His first year at the helm, the Mustangs went 4-15 and didn’t seem to attract the athletes they had in recent years.

    DeMatto knew he had do something not just to re-energize the energy around the program, but to entice the kids at the school to get involved. By doing that, he’s hoping Manitou can once again get back to a highly competitive level. His first step was to give them something to look forward to.

    That’s why he entered the team into the 2019 Pride Classic in Phoenix. The tournament is held over spring break and several Colorado teams already make their way toward the desert to play. He was anxious for his players to find some tough competition and get the kids out of the daily cycle of school, practice and games.

    “It was multifaceted,” DeMatto said. “The greatest motivation to come down here was generating excitement to play and to be excited about the sport and the game. More importantly, it was to expose them to a level of baseball that they’re unaccustomed to and give them a bigger picture of what’s out there.”

    The Mustangs went 0-4 in play this week, but early in the process DeMatto knew that he was going to do what it takes to make it an annual trip. If the Mustangs were doing this two or three years ago, they’d be settled in and probably on a different competitive level by year three.

    “I think we would be a lot more competitive,” freshman Raymond McCaskey said. “We would know what to expect and this competitiveness kind of blindsided. If we were regulars down here, we’d know how to act and know how to play against the teams down here.

    Manitou is far from the only team feeling the benefits. After the Mustangs wrapped up play at Apollo High School in Glendale on Monday, Littleton took the field for their first game, a game that it ultimately won. Coach Brett Pieratt is a former assistant at Valor Christian. The Eagles typically make their way to the Coach Bob Invitational, which amounts to being the same tournament, just taking place a week earlier.

    “One of the things that we’ve seen is that there are 24 kids in our program this year, but 14 of them are freshmen,” Pieratt said. “Kids that are going to Heritage or Arapahoe are now coming to Littleton because we get to do some cool things and they get to play early.”

    Both Heritage and Littleton were in Phoenix this week as were Pine Creek, Wheat Ridge and Brighton among many others.

    Some teams comes down with the intent to win. For teams like Littleton and Manitou, an appearance here can go a long way not just in terms of making the kids better right away but building a program that kids will be excited to join.

    “It’s huge,” DeMatto said. “We have to generate excitement for the game of baseball in our community. It’s something we’ve been missing for the last two years.”

  • Zeric Martinez hired as Littleton’s new football coach

    Littleton has hired Zeric Martinez to be its next football coach, athletic director Chris Enzminger announced on Tuesday.

    Martinez comes to Littleton from Mountain Vista, where he was an assistant. He has also recently been an assistant at Valor Christian, where he was part of two state title teams.

    Before that, he was the the coach at Sheridan in 2012 and 2013, going 5-13.

    “We are excited for the next chapter of Lions football under Coach Z’s leadership,” Engzminger said.

    Littleton, which plays in Class 3A, is coming off an 0-10 season in 2018. Since 2016, the Lions are 2-28. It’s a program Martinez will seek to turn around as he takes over.

  • No. 10 Wheat Ridge boys hoops closing in on first league title since 2007

    LITTLETON — The five starters for Wheat Ridge’s boys basketball team has earned a nickname.

    How does — Farmers Fab Five — sound?

    Seniors Julian Claussen, Blair McVicker, Zeke Van Tuyl, along with juniors Dominic Bronk and Alex Morales have brought the right mix of talent this season. Nearly all five are averaging double-digit points and have the Farmers in position to win their first conference title in 12 years.

    “They are just so unselfish, sometimes to our demise. They will overpass trying to get someone else the shot,” Wheat Ridge coach Tommy Dowd said of the Farmers Fab Five. “They just play well together and it’s a nice blend of kids. They like to play and get after it.”

    Wheat Ridge’s 76-49 road victory Saturday against Littleton pushed the Farmers’ winning streak to six games and extended their lead in the Class 4A Jeffco League to two games over rival Golden.

    The Demons (10-9, 6-2 in league) lost to Evergreen on Saturday, giving the Farmers (16-3, 8-0) a bit of a cushion with four conference games remaining. Despite having a little more margin of error, Wheat Ridge would love to complete a 12-0 league record.

    “We should run it,” said Bronk of the final conference stretch. “To win a league title for the first time in 12 years would be fun.”

    Wheat Ridge — No. 10 in the Class 4A boys basketball CHSAANow.com rankings — claimed its last conference crown back in 2007, winning the Jeffco 11 League when the Farmers were in the 5A classification.

    “We’ll just use the old adage ‘one game at a time,’” said Dowd, who has headed the Farmers’ basketball program of more than two decades. “We know what lies ahead. We aren’t afraid to talk about it or say it. We are trying to make it fun, put it out there and go get it.”

    The Farmers got the road victory Saturday afternoon thanks to a dominating effort in the third quarter. Wheat Ridge led by a dozen points at halftime, but really got some separation scoring 28 points in the third quarter.

    “We wanted to turn it up on defense and turn that into offense, share the ball on the (fast) break and get some buckets,” McVicker said of the third quarter. “We have a lot of guys who can score so its tough to cover once we all get going.”

    Van Tuyl — Wheat Ridge’s 6-foot-10 big man — scored six points in the paint in the opening two minutes of the quarter. Bronk and McVicker combined for 17 points in the third quarter. Claussen finished it off in fashion with a 3-pointer in the closing seconds to put the Farmers up 60-36 heading to the final quarter.

    “We are a great passing team,” said Bronk, who finished with a game-high 18 points. “We get the ball to everybody.”

    McVicker (16 points), Van Tuyl (11 points) and Morales (11 points) all finished in double digits. Morales poured in nine points in the first quarter hitting a trio of 3-pointer in the same corner in front of Littleton’s bench.

    “At least two or three guys really going each night for us. We just have that type of team,” said McVicker, Wheat Ridge’s point guard. “I just like to find people and get them the ball where they like to score.”

    Wheat Ridge wraps up its string of six straight road games next week. The Farmers face Standley Lake (Wednesday, Feb. 6) and D’Evelyn (Friday, Feb. 8) before finally returning to The Barn to finish the regular season against Evergreen (Feb. 12) and Golden (Feb. 14). All games are scheduled for 7 p.m. starts.

    “It’s a good test,” Dowd said of the 6-game string of road games. “I’ve told them in the playoffs you could play them all on the road. We are well-tested and played some good teams on the road.”

    Littleton (3-15, 2-7) has dropped seven in a row. The Lions still have a chance to get out of the cellar of 4A Jeffco with four conference games left.

Wheat Ridge’s sixth straight victory put the Farmers two games up on rival Golden for the 4A Jeffco League title with four conference games remaining. (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)
