  • No. 10 Golden boys basketball stays hot with win over No. 7 Evergreen

    GOLDEN — Timing is everything.

    Golden’s boys basketball team has picked the right time to be playing its best basketball of the season. The Demons — No. 10 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A rankings — won their seventh straight game Friday night with a 61-49 home victory over No. 7 Evergreen.

    “We are a young team. It’s coming together,” said Golden sophomore Aliou Diallo, who scored a game-high 17 points. “When we start hitting shots we are a scary team.”

    The Demons are frightening young with no seniors this year. Despite the youth, Golden (10-2 record) has put itself in position for a home seed for the state tournament that begins Tuesday, March 9.

    “It would be awesome,” Golden coach Lou Vullo said of possibility having a home game to open the playoffs. “We could be dangerous.”

    After back-to-back losses three weeks ago against Evergreen and Green Mountain, the Demons have been unbeatable. The Cougars (9-3) had already won the 4A Jeffco League title with a 7-1 conference record and having defeated Golden and Green Mountain during conference play.

    However, the Demons jumped out to a 22-12 lead after the first quarter and never looked back on its home court Friday night.

    “Our mindset was just to get revenge,” Golden sophomore Alan Acevedo said of facing Evergreen again.

    Evergreen senior Griffin Lauritano led the charge for the Cougars in the second quarter cutting the Demons’ lead to 32-29 at halftime. Lauritano actually went over the 1,000-point career scoring mark in the second quarter. He finished with 15 points, but fouled out midway through the fourth quarter.

    The start of the third quarter was key. Diallo drained a 3-pointer on the opening possession of the second half and sunk another basket in the first minute of the third quarter to extend Golden’s lead to 37-29.

    “It was really big. We talked about it at halftime to come out focused like we were in the first quarter,” Diallo said.

    Senior Jackson Mott had 14 points for the Cougars, but Golden’s defense wouldn’t allow Evergreen to get within striking distance.

    “We have really been focusing on defense,” Vullo said after the Demons held the Cougars to just six made field goals in the second half Friday night. “Our defense was pitiful at the start. We’ve started to pick it up a little bit.”

    Juniors Zach Weiler had a driving layup and Logan Brewer made a pair of free throws to close out the quarter for the Demons.

    “We preach to the boys that it is super important how you start and end the quarter,” Vullo said. “We started and ended that third quarter well.”

    Vullo actually hit a milestone himself this week. He picked up his 250th career varsity high school coaching victory with Wednesday’s win over Conifer.

    Golden is Vullo’s third career coaching stop. He spent five years at Sheridan, nine years at Pinnacle and is in his third season coaching the Demons. It’s likely Golden will make the 32-team 4A state tournament which would make Vullo 17-for-17 when it comes to qualifying his teams to the postseason.

    Golden is on the road against Green Mountain (Monday) and Littleton (Wednesday) to wrap up things before brackets for the state tournament are released on Monday, March 8. First-round games are scheduled to begin Tuesday, March 9.

    “We feel hungry and we aren’t going to stop,” Acevedo said. “

    Green Mountain (10-2) is also hot. The No. 12 Rams have won six straight games after taking an 88-25 victory Friday night against Alameda International. Green Mountain defeated Golden 63-50 back on Feb. 3.

    “Monday is really important,” Diallo said of the rematch against Green Mountain. “That is another one we have marked on our schedule because the first time they took advantage of us.”

    Evergreen is scheduled to close out its regular season at Standley Lake (Monday) and at home against Green Mountain (Wednesday).

    Golden sophomore Alan Acevedo (30) drives the lane against Evergreen during the second half Friday night. Acevedo poured in 16 points, including four 3-pointers in the first half to help the Demons to a 61-49 victory over the Class 4A Jeffco League champions. (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

  • No. 11 Golden boys hoops gets final defensive stop to beat D’Evelyn

    DENVER — Two defensive stands by Golden in the final minute proved to be the difference in a Top-15 Class 4A boys basketball showdown.

    Golden — No. 11 in this week’s CHSAANow.com 4A boys hoops rankings — got a pair of huge defensive stops late to steal a 62-60 road victory against No. 15 D’Evelyn on the Jaguars’ home court Friday night.

    D’Evelyn junior Dwayne Johnson wasn’t able to get a jumper just outside the key to fall with about 30 seconds left and the Demons (6-2, 4-2 in 4A Jeffco) leading 61-60.

    “As a team we have to play great defense,” said Golden sophomore Alan Acevedo, who had Johnson one-on-one on the final two offensive possessions for the Jaguars. “He (Johnson) was very good and we just had to stop him.”

    After Golden junior Luke Anderson made 1-of-2 free throws with 16 seconds left to extend the lead to 62-60, D’Evelyn had one final chance to send the game into overtime.

    The Jaguars (5-2, 3-2) tried to get the ball into Johnson, who finished with a game-high 19 points, but Acevedo knocked the ball away on an entry pass for Johnson.

    “With about a minute to go we told Alan don’t let Johnson touch the ball,” Golden coach Luo Vullo said. “Alan got right on him. They did a good job to pull this one out.”

    The Jaguars were able to grab the loose ball, but a driving layup by D’Evelyn junior Max Grant wouldn’t fall and the Jaguars couldn’t get another shot up before the final buzzer sounded.

    “We take away experience,” said D’Evelyn coach Will Gosch, a former assistant at D’Evelyn who spent a few years at Bear Creek before returning to D’Evelyn to take over the head coaching job. “Not having the spring and summer to go over situations like this tonight hurts.”

    The Jaguars trailed by 6 points heading into the fourth quarter, but went on an 11-0 run to grab the lead. Golden didn’t score until nearly 4 minutes into the final quarter when junior Richie Pruett hit a 3-pointer to get the Demons back on track.

    Junior Logan Brewer had a pair of buckets for the Demons in the final quarter as D’Evelyn’s defense held Golden to just three make field goals in the final 8 minutes. However, Golden was a solid 7-for-8 from the free-throw line in the final quarter to take the win.

    “These kids have fight in them. They don’t stop,” Vullo said. “They are super coachable. They are young and inexperienced.”

    Sophomore Aliou Diallo led the Demons with 16 points. Acevedo, Brewer and Pruett also finished in double-digits to put Golden on a 3-game winning streak heading into its final two conference games.

    Golden closes out its league schedule next week against Standley Lake (Monday) and Conifer (Wednesday). The Demons get a chance to redeem themselves from earlier conference losses against Evergreen and Green Mountain before the start of the postseason, but both of those game won’t be counted in the conference standings.

    “We want to get enough wins to get enough RPI points to get into the state tournament,” Vullo said. “If we get into the tournament we could be popping on all cylinders.”

    The 4A Jeffco League has shown off its depth so far this season. Evergreen, Golden, Green Mountain and D’Evelyn were all inside the top-15 of the 4A rankings.

    Next week will be huge for D’Evelyn. The Jaguars host No. 12 Green Mountain on Monday before hitting the road to face No. 7 Evergreen on Wednesday. D’Evelyn’s final conference game that will count toward the league standings comes Friday at home against Littleton.

    “We love it,” Gosch said of the tough schedule next week. “We want the best competition. We love that we have Green Mountain on Monday. Then we get Evergreen at Evergreen. I think we will only get better.”

  • Evergreen girls hoops kicks into gear in the 2nd half against Golden

    GOLDEN — Evergreen’s girls basketball team scored a season-high 61 points Friday night at Golden High School.

    The Cougars were locked in a defensive battle with the Demons through the first half, but Evergreen (3-1, 2-0 in Class 4A Jeffco) turned it on offensively in the second half to take an eventual 61-42 victory.

    “I think it really was important when they went out of their zone defense. It definitely was causing us a bit of an issue,” Evergreen sophomore Jameson Mott said after the Cougars had back-to-back 19-point third and fourth quarters Friday night. “When we are driving and kicking it out we play better.”

    The Demons (1-4, 1-2) were hanging midway through the third quarter, but when Golden tried to put more defensive pressure with man-on-man defense the Cougars took advantage. Evergreen went on a 15-2 run to end the third quarter to push its lead to 42-24.

    Mott led all scorers with 23 points, including three 3-pointers and going a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. Senior Nicole Levine poured in 18 points for the Cougars. Sophomore Bella Reece came off the bench to contribute 10 points.

    “We wanted them to go man (defense),” Evergreen coach Maddie Hornecker said. “It exposes so much with Nicole and Jameson. Then, Bella scored 10 points when we were able to push the ball and get layups. That was huge to that run.”

    Golden did make a few pushes in an attempt to cut the lead to single-digits in the fourth quarter. Senior Erika Dowell led the Demons with 10 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Natalie Phillips, Mia Howe and Anna Kennedy combined for 23 points, but it wasn’t enough to pull off the win.

    “We have really been focusing on teamwork,” Mott said. “Without a crowd it’s much easier to hear people talk and communicate.”

    The Cougars’ lone loss so far this season was a defeat against 5A Jeffco’s Chatfield.

    Evergreen is back on the road at Wheat Ridge next Monday to face the Farmers. The Cougars get a shot at No. 2 ranked and the defending 4A Jeffco League champs — Green Mountain — on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

    “It’s a psychological battle sometimes,” Hornecker said of facing Green Mountain. “We want to play our game. It’s still a basketball game. How can we attack? Make the most out of it and maybe come out of there with a win.”

    Green Mountain (5-0, 3-0) has been on a tear so far this season with double-digit victories against every opponent, including a 95-6 victory Friday night against Alameda International.

    The Rams went 12-0 in conference play last season on their way to advancing to the 4A state semifinals. Interestingly, Green Mountain last league loss came against Evergreen back on Jan. 16, 2019.

    “I don’t think we should be nervous at all,” Mott said about squaring off against Green Mountain next Wednesday night in Evergreen. “I don’t think we should psych ourselves out or anything. We are ready to battle. We just have to play together, play as a team, play as a family and we’ll get it.”

  • Green Mountain boys hoops upsets No. 4 Golden in 4A Jeffco action

    GOLDEN — Fourth-quarter magic seems to be the winning formula for Green Mountain’s boys basketball team so far this season.

    After an opening season loss to Chatfield, the Rams stormed back against area-rival Lakewood last week with a 32-point fourth quarter to pull out a 68-64 before jumping into Class 4A Jeffco League play this week.

    “We practice hard late in our practices,” Green Mountain junior Corbin Jantzer said after the Rams rallied to a 63-50 road victory Wednesday night over Golden. “We talk about the fourth quarter a lot. It’s a big priority.”

    The Rams trailed rival Golden 40-39 heading to the fourth quarter. It seemed the Demons — No. 4 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A boys basketball rankings — were primed to extend its lead and take control of the 4A Jeffco League game. However, Green Mountain had other plans.

    With no cheering student sections on either side, the Rams (3-1, 2-0 in league) went on a 24-10 run in the fourth quarter to grab a huge conference win over the defending 4A Jeffco League champs.

    Jantzer poured in 11 of his team-high 19 points in the final eight minutes. His 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2:45 left in the fourth quarter gave the Rams a 53-45 lead.

    “He (Jantzer) is tough and we coach him hard,” Green Mountain coach Mike Puccio said. “He is a super-talented kid. He hasn’t had a great start offensively, but his rebounding and defense he is one of the best in the league. He is so versatile.”

    Green Mountain’s leading scorer Austin Peterson had a fairly quiet 8-point night offensively, but the Rams got plenty of contributors. Senior Blake McKibbin had 14 points off the bench and senior Allen Ortiz poured in 9 points.

    “I’ve got faith in every one of our guys being able to go out there and score,” Jantzer said. “Anybody can drop 15 points.”

    The Rams made six free-throws in the final minute to ice the victory and remain undefeated early in conference play with Wheat Ridge (3-1, 2-0) and Evergreen (2-1, 1-0).

    “This is a huge win. This was a preview to a playoff match-up,” Jantzer said. “It’s a huge rivalry in the league. Coming into this game we took it as a game for the league championship. We’ve got to get past Golden. We thought we had to prove ourselves.”

    Golden sophomore Aliou Diallo led the Demons (3-1, 1-1) with 20 points, but the guard suffered a lower leg injury to end the third quarter. He was on the bench being treated before returning to the court midway through the final quarter.

    Junior Richie Pruett had 9 points in the second half before fouling out in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Alan Acevedo pitched in 8 points, but was also limited in minutes because of foul trouble. A total of 47 fouls were call on the night.

    “Golden is a three-headed monster (Pruett, Diallo and Acevedo) and also has some great role players,” Puccio said. “We just wanted to contain those three and make someone else beat us.”

    Golden has a big conference showdown Friday night on the road against No. 8 Evergreen (2-1, 1-0). It might be a must-win situation for the Demons if they hope to repeat as league champs. The Cougars actually had a league bye Wednesday night after taking a 50-32 victory over Standley Lake on Monday.

    Green Mountain is back in action at home against Alameda on Friday night.

    Puccio admitted he really didn’t know what to expect this year after Green Mountain graduated 90 percent of his players from last year’s squad. A 23-point loss to open the season against Chatfield might have been a bad sign, but the Rams have bounced back with 3 straight victories.

    “I’m hard on these guys. We’ve got a shoot-around at 6:30 am tomorrow morning,” Puccio said. “We’ll go get ready for Alameda on Friday and then have a practice on Saturday. We (coaches) are relentless on them. We don’t let up.”

    Jantzer knows the job isn’t nearly complete for Green Mountain.

    “We still have a lot to prove,” Jantzer said. “There are still a lot of teams up there. We are just going to continue to keep working.”
