  • Familiar ending for Dakota Ridge

    LAKEWOOD — Ron Woitalewicz, in August, would’ve taken this. The Dakota Ridge head football coach said he would’ve been ecstatic if he had been told at the beginning of the season that the Eagles would be playing in the 4A state semifinals with a shot at a state championship riding on the line. He would’ve taken it in a heartbeat.

  • Dakota Ridge wrestling program...

    The Dakota Ridge High School wrestling program has been suspended for the 2010-11 season due to a lack of participants, head coach Larry May said.

    Athletic director Matt Heckel made the decision to forego the wrestling season on Nov. 19 after the program only signed up 11 wrestlers a week after practice had started. Jefferson County District rules mandate that a program have at least 14 wrestlers in order to have a paid coach. May is not a credentialed teacher in Jefferson County schools.

    LONGMONT — Trailing 28-24 with less than two minutes remaining, the Dakota Ridge Eagles faced a 4th-and-goal at the 7-yard line and called a play they hadn’t used in some time.

    Quarterback Bolton Howes rolled out to his right while receiver Derek Vander Velde rolled with him, drawing two defenders. Howes then planted and threw back to the left to a wide-open Keaton Greenstreet for the go-ahead score.

    The turkey’s almost on the table, the family and friends are almost here and Santa Claus is traveling down the last stretch of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

    It’s that time of year to be thankful. Every year, I reflect back on the year that has been and give thanks to the athletes and sporting events I’ve been blessed to watch. So without further ado …

  • Stunning end for Rebels

    AURORA — Jonathan Beverly realizes that nobody’s perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, including the Columbine Rebels. Unfortunately, 5A’s No. 5 seed made a few too many on Nov. 12 at Legacy Stadium.

    Be it a blocked field goal in the first quarter, a botched attempt in the fourth or a late interception, Columbine stubbed its toes once too often against underdog Grandview. In the end, it cost the Rebels a 14-7 loss to the 21st-seeded Wolves in the second round of this year’s state playoffs.
