Davis Bryant‘s only bogey of the day came on the second hole of the Centennial League’s first meet.
From that point on, he was only steady and strong, turning in a three-under-par 67 to claim the win at Meadow Hills.
He made bogey on No. 2 to move to one-over, but starting on hole four, made three straight birdies to seize the lead.
He never relented, rattling off seven pars in a row before making birdie on No. 14.
Arapahoe’s Tommy Packer, Alex Yano and Caleb Busta all finished in the top 10, good enough to give the Warriors the overall team win.

Griffin Barlea competes at the 5A boys golf championship last fall. (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)
A trio of Colorado golfers wrapped up play at the U.S. Junior Amateur championship this week, but not with the results they were after.
Soon to be seniors Griffin Barlea (Lakewood) and Trevor Olkowski (Grand Junction) both missed the cut on the boys side. Barlea finished at 12-over while Olkowski finished 16-over.
At the Class 5A state tournament last fall, Olkowski finished at 1-over, good enough to finish third at the event. Barlea was only off Olkowski by one stroke, finishing at 2-over which put him in a tie for fifth place.
On the girls side, 2016 Dolores graduate Kiselya Plewe shot 13-over in two days, missing the cut by four strokes.
Plewe also shot 13-over at the 4A girls state tournament in May, which put her in a tie at fourth place.
A graduate of Montezuma-Cortez, Plewe competed for the Dolores golf team through high school. She will attend Weber State this fall and compete on the golf team there.
AURORA — History was made Tuesday at the Classification and League Organization Committee meeting. Three times.
For the first time in the history of the Colorado High School Activities Association, schools were allowed to be reclassified as opposed to electing to play down. The CHSAA bylaws were amended in January to allow schools to be reclassified based on a criteria that has more to do than just competitiveness within their current classification.
“That’s the first step in the direction we have to go to keep competitive balance among schools so that they aren’t losing programs due to lack of interest,” CHSAA commissioner Paul Angelico said. “We have to do stuff that keeps kids having some degree of success so that they will want to continue to play the sports they’re playing.”
After the new classification enrollment numbers were voted on, the issue reclassification took center stage as Greeley Central and Montezuma-Cortez looked for reclassification in all sports while Estes Park sought it only for football.
Schools that are reclassified are eligible for postseason play while schools who play down in classification are not.
Greeley Central athletic director Rick Schmitz was the first to present his case. He laid out the socio-economic status of his student body as well as the approximate number of students who are on free and reduced lunch. The fact that the Wildcats have not been overly competitive in team sports also came into play as he made his case.
When pressed about how the Northern League felt about the Wildcats remaining in Class 4A, Niwot athletic director Chase McBride stood up on behalf of the league and said they would continue to welcome Greeley Central with open arms.
“It was a league-motivated decision,” McBride said. “They’ve been a good league member to us and we would like to keep our ties to them as they are.”
In the end, the committee voted to allow the reclassification of Greeley Central marking the first time in state history that a school has been reclassified.
“For our programs, it’s huge,” Schmitz said. “We were concerned about being classified 5A in the team sports. I feel that we met the (reclassification) criteria that they were looking for. And in the future, for other schools who fall in the same situation that we do, I think it can make a huge impact.”
The committee also approved the total reclassification of Montezuma-Cortez, who would’ve classified at 4A under the new enrollment numbers. Citing the socio-economic make-up of the school as well as other factors such as the burden of what it would do to their traveling expenses, athletic director Stacey Hall successfully petitioned CLOC to reclassify the Panthers in all sports.
The committee had earlier granted Estes Park a reclassification in football, keeping them at 1A where they had been in the previous cycle.
The reclassification process is unlike anything the Association has done and is using it as a means to keep schools competitiveness intact. When CLOC first began going down this road, it knew there would be challenges, but overall the committee was pleased with Tuesday’s results.
“When we started this process a year ago, we knew there were going to be some hurdles but we tried to provide as much information as we could from the get go,” said Randy Holmen, the principal at Holly High School who chairs CLOC. “When it got to today we were prepared and we felt like the committee was prepared to answer those questions and to tackle any situations that came up.”
Angelico stressed that the purpose of reclassification was not to simply drop down if a school couldn’t remain competitive in certain sports. He’s confident that CLOC has a system in place that will prevent schools from taking advantage of the system.
“That’s always a concern,” Angelico said. “We operate, though, on a system of trust and integrity. I think as long as we continue to stress the corner stone of how this works and we have a committee that keeps really high standards about what they’ll accept, then I won’t have those concerns.”

CLOC approved probationary membership for two new schools: Denver Academy of the Torah (Denver) and Prospect Ridge Academy (Brighton). If approved by the Legislative Council, it would bring CHSAA’s membership to 354 schools.
Abraham Lincoln, Arvada, Cripple Creek-Victor and Del Norte all successfully requested to play down in football.
It was not a good week to be ranked as the 2015 football season began in earnest.
When the dust settled on Friday night, here’s what we were left with:
Three No. 1 teams lost on Friday night. 5A’s Valor Christian was clipped by No. 3 Pomona. 2A’s Brush, the defending champion, last to 3A No. 2 Fort Morgan, and 8-man’s Caliche fell to unranked Kiowa.
Ranked teams are just 35-23 so far in Week 1. That includes three ranked 4A teams which lost to unranked opponents on Friday alone.
In all, there have been 16 upsets so far in Week 1, including 13 ranked teams losing to unranked opponents.
To the games.

3A/2A: (2) Fort Morgan 47, (1) Brush 7
Fort Morgan controlled this rivalry game from start to finish — a game that had a new twist with new Brush coach Reid Kahl, who graduated from Fort Morgan.
“I consider Reid Kahl one of my good friends. When I got to Fort Morgan, the Kahls took me in,” Fort Morgan coach Harrison Chisum told Colorado Preps’ Scoreboard Show. “I’m glad it’s over. It’s tough coaching against friends. He’s an outstanding coach and I have a lot of respect for him. … I’m just glad it’s done and we’re still friends.”
Brush had won five consecutive games in the rivalry.
“It was a little more enjoyable this year,” Chisum said. “Five years in a row, they’ve had our number. To finally come out on top, it feels good. The boys did a good job.
“I didn’t realize it was five years. I think I was trying to forget some of those years. … It’s pretty nice to be able to start off with a win.”
[divider]
8-man: Kiowa 12, (1) Caliche 6
In a rare low-scoring game, Kiowa knocked off the No. 1 team, and defending champions.
Kiowa led 12-0 after the first quarter, and it turned out to be all the points it would need.
The win avenged last season’s 49-6 loss to Caliche. Kiowa went on to finish 2-7 in 2014. This win actually snapped a six-game losing streak.
Conversely, Caliche had won nine games in a row — including a Zero Week game against Soroco.

4A: Loveland 36, (5) Denver South 18
Quarterback Ayden Eberhardt had four total touchdowns to lead Loveland to the upset of Denver South.
“Our quarterback is just a great, nifty little runner and can do things,” Loveland coach Wayne McGinn told the newspaper. “You don’t know where he’s going. I don’t know where he’s going half the time.”
[divider]
6-man: (3) Arickaree/Woodlin 58, (5) Peetz 50
Arickaree/Woodlin, the defending 6-man champion, out-gunned Peetz in a shootout despite having a young roster.
“Our starting six or seven have a lot of experience, but they’re in some different positions this year,” Arickaree/Woodlin coach David Saffer told the Scoreboard Show. “And we’ve got a bunch of young kids and they’re just kind of learning high school football and adjusting to the speed and learning what it takes to win at this level.”

Arvada beat Sheridan 27-14, and in doing so, snapped an 18-game losing streak which dated to 2013. The Bulldogs’ last win came on Sept. 13, 2013, in overtime against Skyview. The program had been 1-22 over its past 23 games going back to 2012.
Manitou Springs recovered five onside kicks in its game against Faith Christian. Faith Christian, however, won 46-32.
It was a top-5 matchup in 2A as No. 5 Platte Valley beat No. 3 Strasburg 30-7.
In 3A, Mitchell beat Widefield 34-28 in double overtime. It wasn’t the night’s only extra time. 1A’s Olathe beat Hotchkiss in overtime, 29-27, and in 5A, Cherokee Trail beat ThunderRidge 22-15.
In 1A, No. 1 Paonia beat No. 7 Monte Vista 21-7.
Dakota Ridge, ranked No. 3 in 4A, opened with a big 38-9 win over 5A Monarch. “We challenged our kids all week that they needed to play physical and play tough,” coach Ron Woitalewicz told the Scoreboard Show. “Our kids really rose to that expectation.”
Eaglecrest led 5A No. 9 Ralston Valley 14-13 at halftime, but the Mustangs stormed back to take a 33-27 win. Ralston Valley nearly fell victim to a comeback of its own, as it held a 33-14 lead in the fourth quarter but had to hold on.
5A No. 6 Fairview led Grand Junction 21-0, but had to hold on for a 21-12 win.
Lakewood handed 5A No. 8 Fountain-Fort Carson its second straight loss, this one a 31-21 decision.
Chaparral played 5A No. 7 Grandview tough early, but the Wolves pulled away for a 29-12 win.
Six more Colorado teams played out-of-state opponents on Friday, going 4-2. Durango, Holly, La Junta and Sedgwick County all notched wins, while Wray and Montezuma-Cortez lost on Friday. So far in 2015, Colorado teams are 8-2 against out-of-state foes.

[dropcap]R[/dropcap]eid Kahl is no stranger to defending state championships. Kahl was able to secure Class 4A titles in 2006 and 2008 while he was the head coach at Wheat Ridge.
Now he has the task of defending a 2A championship. Only, unlike those at Wheat Ridge, this is not a state championship that he won. This offseason, Kahl was hired by Brush to take over for Randy Dreitz. Dreitz left the team in March after leading the Beetdiggers to the 2A state championship.
“After the season was over last year, everybody pretty much knew that Randy was going to retire,” Kahl said. “I didn’t think much about it until later in the spring when the job opened up. I had a lot of people from the community reach out to me and show a lot of interest in me doing it.”
The start of Brush’s title defense is a more interesting story for Kahl himself rather than the team. The Beetdiggers kick their season off by traveling to Fort Morgan on Sept. 4. Kahl was a standout football player for the Mustangs, who happen to be the Beetdiggers’ rivals.
“I’m going to be completely honest with you, and I’m not just saying this, it’s been a much bigger deal for everyone else than it has been for me,” Kahl said. “It’s been since 2001, which was my last season in Fort Morgan.”
Karl left the Farmers after the 2013 season and took last year off before taking the job at Brush. It was a summer of turnover at the school as a new principal and athletic director were named at the same meeting.
To echo the sentiment of Kahl, it was really the community support that brought his name into the coaching search since there wasn’t an athletic director to include him in it.
“None of us that hired Reid were here,” said athletic director Scott Hodgson, who is also in his first year at the school after coming over from Holly. “Once we found out that was the choice, we were really happy. He’s had great success everywhere he’s been.”
Karl comes in this season with the task of defending a state championship that he was not a part of. The Beetdiggers also lost a big senior class, including 2A player of the year Kyle Rosenbrock.
Fair or not, this young Brush team comes into the season, not only with a new coach, but also with a target on its back.
“It’s a different situation and it’s not an easy situation,” Kahl said. “They graduated a ton of seniors last year and I have a really inexperienced team. We all know that there’s a big target on our back and I talked to the kids about it when I first met with them.”
But that won’t matter to the teams on the opposite sideline. They’ll only see “Brush” on the jerseys and they’ll know that was the last team to walk away as state champions.
Karl knows the expectations are high and that he is walking into a program that will expect him to win. His track record at Wheat Ridge indicates that he can find success. His plan is to just run the systems that he’s comfortable running and hope that it translates into wins for the Beetdiggers.
“I’ve installed a lot of the same offense that I run wherever I’m (coaching),” Kahl said. “We spent a lot time on it over the summer and the kids have done a nice job picking it up.”
He gets his chance to see just how well they’ve picked it up when Brush travels to Fort Morgan on Sept. 4. Kahl has plenty of good memories from when he was with the Mustangs but knows once the ball kicked-off, it’s time to focus on his job as the coach of the Beetdiggers.
“After 26 years of coaching, it’s not like I was there yesterday,” Kahl said. “I think it seems to be a big to people on the outside and not so much for me.”
