    Re-classification of schools

    Three schools asked to reclassify according to bylaw 1500.21, which allows schools to move down a class if they meet a number of factors, such as socio-economics, geography, competitive history and enrollment trend.

    • Greeley Central was approved to reclassify. This means their team sports will compete in 4A, and representatives of the school said it was their intention to play up to 4A in sports, such as wrestling, where the reclassification would put them in 3A.
    • Montezuma-Cortez’s reclassification from 4A to 3A was also approved. Likewise, school reps said they would commit to playing up to 3A in any sports where the reclassification would put them in 2A.
    • Skyline’s reclassification from 5A to 4A was approved.

    [divider]

    Program playdowns

    The following schools had their program playdown requests approved. These programs will not be eligible to compete in the postseason, per bylaw 1500.27.

    • Arvada football from 3A to 2A.
    • Boulder softball from 5A to 4A.
    • Calhan football from 1A to 8-man.
    • Cripple-Creek Victor from 8-man to 6-man.
    • Dolores Huerta from 1A to 8-man.
    • Jefferson from 2A to 1A.
    • Loveland boys and girls soccer from 5A to 4A.
    • Mead boys soccer from 4A to 3A.
    • Pinnacle football from 2A to 1A.
    • Rangeview boys lacrosse from 5A to 4A.

    New schools approved as members

    The committee approved seven new schools for initial probationary membership into CHSAA. They are:

    • Denver School of Science & Tech – Byers, which is in Denver’s Wash Park neighborhood.
    • KIPP Northeast, located in northeast Denver.
    • Loveland Classical School, in Loveland.
    • Riverdale Ridge, in Brighton.
    • Strive Prep Rise, in northeast Denver.
    • Strive Prep Smart, in southwest Denver.
    • Thomas MacLaren, in Colorado Springs.

    KIPP Northeast and Strive Prep Rise are housed in the same building and are planning to co-op, so they will play 4A. DSST-Byers, Riverdale Ridge and Strive Prep Smart will likely be 3A. Loveland Classical and Thomas MacLaren will likely be 2A,

    Riverdale Ridge will most likely play 2A football, as well.

    Another school, Windsor Charter, was not accepted because the CLOC members felt the school was not yet ready to become a member for a variety of reasons.

    With these new schools, CHSAA will have 361 member schools in 2018-19.

    [divider]

    Stargate School granted full membership

    One new school has joined CHSAA as a full member, moving off probationary status: Stargate School, which is located in Thornton.

    Three others up for review for full membership were left on probationary status:

    • DSST-College View was left on because it has had multiple CHSAA violations dealing with eligibility.
    • Golden View Classical Academy and Victory Prep Academy were both left on probationary status because no one from the school attended the CLOC meeting.

  • 4A boys soccer roundup: No. 15 Littleton shocks No. 2 Kennedy

    The Class 4A Jeffco League will likely have Littleton, Evergreen, D’Evelyn, Standley Lake and Golden all make the 32-team field for the 4A state tournament. (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

    Littleton was not ready to call it a season. The Lions went into the second round of the Class 4A boys soccer tournament as the No. 15 seed and were faced with the daunting task of facing No. 2 Kennedy.

    Seniors Zach Maguire and Ethan Schwartz didn’t care. Neither did junior Ruben Cervantes. All three scored goals as Littleton beat Kennedy 3-1 to advance to the 4A quarterfinals.

    The Lions also got a standout performance in goal as Luis Ramos played all 80 minutes and turned away five shots to get the shutout.

    (8) Skyline 1, (9) Durango 0

    Skyline defended its home field against a tough Durango team that poised a threat in 4A all season long.

  • Football roundup: Windsor clinches league title with OT win over Skyline

    Windsor broke up a two-point conversion attempt in overtime to seal a wild 56-55 win over Skyline and wrap up the Northern League championship on Friday.

    The fifth-ranked Wizards had led 49-33 with 5:47 remaining, but Skyline came storming back to tie the game at 49 following two touchdowns and two-point conversions.

    Windsor scored first in overtime — quarterback Connor Apodaca faked a handoff up the middle and ran to an open end zone to his left — but No. 10 Skyline again responded. The Falcons’ Nathan McGregor hit Austin Robison on a play-action pass on fourth-down.

    Skyline then went for two, its fourth such attempt of the game. This time the pass was broken up in the left side of the end zone. According to the Fort Collins Coloradoan, it was senior Bryce Kellum who had the big play.

    The result was a Windsor win, and a conference championship. The Wizards are now 8-1 this season, and 4-0 in their league. Every other Northern team has at least two league losses.

    Skyline is now 7-2, including 2-2 in the Northern.

    “It was awesome,” Kellum told the paper of the win. “Just awesome.”

    Windsor led 35-20 at halftime, a lead secured by a key interception from junior Tayt Gallatin in the end zone.

    Noah Montague had two rushing scores for the Wizards, including a 91-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Isaiah Salazar also rushed for two touchdowns, according to the Coloradoan’s Kevin Lytle.

    Skyline’s star running back Jeremy Hollingsworth had two touchdowns. McGregor had four total touchdowns, including a pass to Jack Wathen with 15.7 seconds left in regulation that helped tie the game.

    • No. 7 Kit Carson advanced to the quarterfinals with a 46-12 win over Cotopaxi.
    • The remaining six first-round games are on Saturday.

    Notables:

    • 4A No. 4 Fruita Monument wrapped up its first conference title since 2002, according to Matt Meyer of the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, with a 50-16 win over George Washington.
    • 3A No. 7 Canon City locked up at least of share of the Southern League with a 48-7 win over Woodland Park. The Tigers also hold a potential tiebreaker with a win over Discovery Canyon last week.
    • 5A No. 4 Columbine is now in the same position in the Mount Cameron Conference, sitting at 4-0 after a 50-0 win over Mountain Range on Friday. The Rebels hold a potential tiebreaker over Fairview (which is 3-1 in league play).
    • In 8-man, No. 3 Merino beat No. 9 Haxtun 39-24.
    • No. 8 Burlington edged No. 5 Limon 29-28. “It was a great ballgame that could’ve gone either way,” coach Glynn Higgs told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show.
    • 8-man No. 2 West Grand cruised to a 52-0 win over No. 6 Gilpin County.
    • Another top-10 clash in 8-man, where No. 10 Sargent rolled past No. 8 Mancos 54-14.
    • The 2A game between Pagosa Springs and Montezuma-Cortez was delayed following a power outage in the first half. The delay lasted 45 minutes. Pagosa ultimately won 48-7.
    • In 1A action, Wray beat rival county rival Yuma 19-7 to retain the Harvest Cup.
    • Another 1A game: Cedaredge and Hotchkiss were scoreless in regulation, and then Cedaredge won in overtime, 3-0.
