  • Chargers stay undefeated in...

    The Chatfield Chargers swim team is enjoying one of their finest seasons in recent memory.    

    The boys can now add another feat to this year of memories — going undefeated in dual meets.

    In their last dual meet of the year before leagues, the Chargers edged out Green Mountain 159-153 on April 29 at Ridge Recreation Center.

  • Little things become big loss to...

    Looking for a quiet place to relax this spring? Try the Chatfield dugout.

    The Chargers didn’t show much fire, conserved their voices while their teammates batted and were hammered late in the game April 20 for a 15-4 loss to Ralston Valley.

    The skill of the two teams was much closer than the score suggests. What was not close, however, was the spit and fire.

    “They played the game harder than we did on our home field, and I’m more disappointed in that than anything,” Chatfield coach Mike Yansak said.

  • Lexie deep sixes CSH

    LAKEWOOD — Fans have come to expect an interesting game whenever Dakota Ridge and Chatfield face each other in any sport.

    Their girls lacrosse game on April 22 at Trailblazer Stadium was no exception.

     The game was marred by a lightning delay of nearly 40 minutes before Dakota Ridge came away with an 18-11 victory.

    Dakota Ridge junior Lexie Chavez led all scorers with six goals and senior Ashley Behabets picked up three goals for the Eagles.

  • Rivals settle for OT draw

    LAKEWOOD — After 71 minutes and no goals, it looked like Chatfield and Dakota Ridge were headed toward a scoreless tie.

    Looks, however, can be deceiving. The next minute and a half saw two goals — one by each team.

    The rest of regulation and the two overtime periods would see a lot of action, but Dakota Ridge would miss on two great scoring chances in overtime and the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

  • Young Chargers feeling pretty...

    LAKEWOOD — The Chatfield girls lacrosse team is admittedly rebuilding this season.

    On April 13, the Chargers met an impressive wall in Centaurus goalie Kari Koga.

    “Early on, I think it was important for us to get a lot of shots,” Chatfield coach Adam Everett said. “We didn’t convert on the shots. That goalie is really good … We just didn’t convert down the stretch. We didn’t keep up the pressure that we should have.”

  • Roberts heats up; Rebels rally

    Matt Roberts was Frosty the Snowman with a blowtorch April 15.

    Somehow, it all worked out.

    “I do my part out there, stay frosty and help the team out,” the Columbine pitcher said after the Rebels defeated rival Chatfield 4-3.

    “I needed to stay down in the zone a little more,” he said. “The hits they got off me, I made mistakes, left the ball up a little bit. I kept it low more and kind of warmed up during the game and felt better.”

  • Rebels get back on track with...

    LAKEWOOD — The Columbine boys lacrosse team faced no shortage of challenges before and during its game with Conifer April 14 at Trailblazer Stadium.

    The Rebels were coming off a 10-3 loss to rival Chatfield and then lost freshman goaltender Evan Hartman to an undisclosed injury after a collision with a Conifer player early in the first quarter. Columbine was able to overcome all the adversity to defeat Conifer, 11-4.

  • A perfect start to prom day

    LAKEWOOD — No one wants a bunch of drama to overshadow prom night.

    Hair. Nails. Hair. Makeup. The dress. Hair. Young love. Shoes. And hair.

    The Columbine Rebels survived plenty of drama the morning of April 17, ensuring that later that night, prom had to be a little more enjoyable.

    “I did not want to play this game on prom — are you kidding me?” Rebels coach Alise Steiner said, laughing.

  • Chargers find zero offense in...

    LAKEWOOD — The Chatfield Chargers know they have the talent to be one of the top soccer teams in the state, and that’s why head coach Brock Blume wasn’t terribly pleased with his team’s performance on April 9 at Lakewood Memorial Field.

    “It’s kind of a little bit of a regression. We had players that were making mistakes and kind of missing assignments and were maybe a little bit surprised by the pressure. We’ve been training with that stuff all week,” Blume said.

  • Chargers rout rival Rebels

    DENVER — Chatfield against Columbine is always an intense rivalry, especially when it comes to lacrosse.     

    Add in the setting of Invesco Field, and the rivalry becomes just that much better.

    Unfortunately for the Rebels, however, they just couldn’t hang with the No. 5-ranked team in the state, as the Chargers built a big lead and put away Columbine early in the second half on their way to a 10-3 win on April 10.
