    Kristyn Peters’ record-breaking season at Dakota Ridge High School in which she led the Lady Eagles to a berth in the state championship game has landed her as the 2012-13 Columbine Courier Female Athlete of the Year.

  • Coach of the year

    Last summer, Steve Schimpeler had a clue of what was in store for the Chatfield Chargers’ boys basketball program for the 2012-13 season. But maybe even he wasn’t fully aware of just how special this team would truly be.
