    Taylor Rogers won’t say that he’s a creature of habit, but he does like having a routine. That fits who he is. And while the bus rides from city to city are what they are, it’s the job that fits the personality of the 22-year-old laid-back left-hander.

  • Rebels impose their will in rout

    LAKEWOOD — Make no bones about it: The Columbine Rebels won’t be creeping up on teams in 2013. Not like last year, when they worked their way into the boys lacrosse state semifinals. This year, it’s going to be the opposite, and Columbine expects as much.

  • Chatfield proves worth in defeat

    The scene, with Cherry Creek players rushing the field at Deer Creek Middle School at the conclusion of the Lady Bruins’ 12-9 girls lacrosse victory over host Chatfield on March 22, said a lot. It showed that not only is this year’s Chatfield team, which was ranked fourth in the state entering the contest, not a fluke, but that it has come far and proven worthy of such a high distinction early in the 2013 season.

  • Tired Rebels find way to tie D’...

    LAKEWOOD — The exhaustion Columbine’s girls soccer players exhibited was quite noticeable. It would have been hard not to notice that the Lady Rebels had just played their third game in three days.
    And though D’Evelyn walked out of Lakewood Memorial Field on March 16 having outscored Columbine 5-4 in penalty kicks, the South Jeffco Invitational tournament game officially goes down as a 1-1 tie. The penalty kicks were necessary per tournament rules only.

    By Will Petersen
    For the Courier
    GREENWOOD VILLAGE — There was no grace period. No easing into anything.
    The Dakota Ridge baseball team kicked off its season against No. 1 ranked and defending state champion Cherry Creek and fell 12-2 in five innings on March 16 at Cherry Creek High School.
