  • Evergreen wins, Front Range 12th...

    ARVADA — It was only the first hole, but Sam Theil didn’t do himself any favors.

  • Ramsey, Rebels in hunt early on...

    Ramsey overcame a rough start to the 2012 season with a strong finish on the back nine at Hyland Hills, firing a 1-under-par 71 on Aug. 15 to place second in the 46-golfer field.

Sophomores Jake Meitzmaker and Jacob Fuchs saw their first varsity action as well Aug. 9 at South Suburban Golf Course.

    DENVER — Jared Sloan knows there’s a little bit of pressure. He can feel it. After all, the Front Range Christian golfer is the only returning 3A state qualifier on this year’s squad.
