  • Familiar faces return to the 3A girls tennis semifinals at No. 1 singles

    GREELEY — Familiar faces are leading the pack in the Class 3A state tennis tournament‘s No. 1 singles draw as the semifinals approach.

    Steamboat Springs sophomore Mae Thorp, who made it to the finals last year but was defeated by Sammy Moore-Thompson of Colorado Academy, will be getting a shot at redemption as she has made it back to the semifinals.

    “My goal is to make it to state all four years,” said Thorp. “I’m excited that I have done it the last two years, plus its an awesome feeling to have won regionals this year too.”

    The semifinals will begin at 8 a.m. on Friday. The tournament has been modified to a two-day format in order to avoid bad weather on Saturday.

    Thorp started the day with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Colorado Springs Christian’s Tristen VanDeVeer and defeated Pueblo County’s Erin Mauro in the quarterfinals (6-1, 6-0). Thorp will go against Jules Thompson, a freshman at Colorado Springs School, in the semifinals.

    “This season has really helped prepare me for these games,” said Thorp. “We played a lot of 5A schools so that really has helped me play against some of these hard hitters.”

    Also making a return to the semifinals is Peak to Peak’s Trisha Somasundaram. In last year’s tournament Somasundaram also fell victim to Moore-Thompson in the semifinals.

    Despite losing in the semifinals last year, Somasundaram’s focus on Friday is not on winning, but on enjoying herself and having fun.

    “I have been playing tennis since I was four years old,” said a smiling Somasundaram. “If you would have told me I would be playing in the state tournament, I wouldn’t have believed you because I just play for fun.”

    Sometimes the key to success is to just forget the stress and stakes and focus on having fun. That strategy has helped Somasundaram as she has gone undefeated this year.

    Somasundaram started the day with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Lutheran’s Gabrielle Mosley despite her nerves.

    “I was really nervous when I first started out,” said Somasundaram. “I just had to tell myself that I got this and continued to motivate myself to keep playing like I know I can.”

    Somasundaram ended the day with a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Julia Giltner of Holy Family in the quarterfinals. Somasundaram will face Mia Oliver of Denver North in the semifinals.

    “Despite feeling extremely exhausted from this heat, I’m glad I was able to keep my composure,” Somasundaram said. “At the beginning of the season I told myself that I was going to try my best in all my matches, but that I was mainly just playing for fun.”

    Somasundaram was not only dominant on Thursday, but her team was also as they showed up and played well. This is the first time that Peak to Peak has had their whole team qualify for state.

    “I’m extremely proud of our team this year,” said Somasundaram. “Last year it was just me and my sister, but to have our whole team here with us is just amazing and the highlight of our season.”

    After Day 1, Holy Family holds the team lead with 17 points.

    D’Evelyn is in second with 16 points, and Dawson is in a close third with 14 points.

    The No. 1 doubles field is set with University’s Orcutt/Vieyra playing Dawson’s Blank/Shehan. Holy Family’s Donovan/Licata will face D’Evelyn’s Lee/Sanders.

    In No. 2 singles, Somasundaram’s sister Trini will face D’Evelyn’s Angi Reed. Aspen’s Niko Hansen will take on Paige Giltner of Holy Family.

    On the other side, No. 2 doubles will consist of D’Evelyn’s Perkes/Jennings playing Griffith/Salberg of Eaton. Colorado Academy’s Lin/Wolf-Tinsman will compete against Dawson’s Ramos/Rinard.  

    No. 3 singles will have another Peak to Peak and D’Evelyn matchup with Elisa Dean and Tiffany Tran. Colorado Academy’s Amanda Funk will compete against Aspen’s Macy Hopkinson.

    No. 3 doubles will consist of Dawson’s Shehan/Joris against Bonthron/Hawley of D’Evelyn. The other match is Brakhage/Lin of Peak to Peak and Smolky/Lindoefer of Holy Family.

    No. 4 doubles has Holy Family’s Coster/Mojica facing Dawson’s Garfinkle/Devereux. Opposite them is University’s Hawkins/Wood playing Pueblo County’s Hanratty/Gomez.

  • Frank Palmeri, the “voice” of Colorado high school sports, passes away

    Frank Palmeri

    For 57 years, from 1948 until 2005, Frank Palmeri was the “voice” of high school sports in Colorado. Palmeri passed away over the weekend at age 92. Funeral arrangements are pending.

    A native Coloradan, Palmeri grew up in north Denver and graduated from Denver North High School in 1944. After a stint in the US Navy, he earned his bachelors and master’s degrees from the University of Denver. He later added work at the University of Colorado, Colorado State and Walden University.

    He spent 45 years as a physical education, history, and English teacher, as well as a media specialist, in Jefferson County Schools.

    He started announcing Denver Parochial League and Jefferson County sports, serving as public address announcer in every sport for the league. His distinctive, professional announcer’s voice is familiar to three generations of Colorado prep athletes.

    He was the “voice” of the state wrestling for 51 years, and nearly that same number for the state basketball tournament and state track meets. Among his honors are the CHSAA Distinguished Service Award (1992) and induction into the CHSAA Hall of Fame (2012).

    He was named the National Announcer of the Year in 2005 by the National Association of Sports Public Address Announcers Association.

    Palmeri’s rosary will be Monday morning at 9:30 a.m., followed by a funeral at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. There will be a visitation on Sunday night from 5-7 p.m. at Horan & McConaty on Federal and Speer.

  • Denver North announces hire of C.J. Hanna as football coach

    (Lance Wendt/LanceWendt.com)

    C.J. Hanna is the new man in charge of Denver North football. The school announced the hire on Wednesday.

    His previous stints include Lincoln High School in Denver, Sunrise Mountain (Ariz.), and Ironwood High School (Ariz.).

    “Coach Hanna will bring a high level of expectations for the classroom and football field, outstanding football instruction and knowledge, and high level of energy,” athletic director Kevin Bendjy said. “We are excited and welcome him to Denver North as the Head Varsity Football Coach.”

    Outside of coaching, Hanna serves as the Dean and Restorative Practice Coordinator at Bruce Randolph High School.

    “Our vision for North High School Football is to foster a program that excels on the field, achieves in the classroom, and positively impacts our school and community. Our goal is for students to graduate from our program as well-rounded scholars, athletes, and citizens of Northwest Denver,” Hanna said in a statement.

    This is the latest of the 2018 offseason football coaching changes.

  • All-state football teams for the 2017 season

    The 2017 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.

    These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.

    Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.

    CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created entirely from the results of the coaches’ vote.
