  • Robinson looking for his shot...

    Zac Robinson's laundry list of accolades at Oklahoma State are impressive, to say the least.

    The former Chatfield High School quarterback led the Cowboys to three straight bowl games, including a 49-33 victory over Indiana in the 2007 Insight Bowl in which the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Robinson was named the game's most valuable player. He threw for 302 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for two more scores.

  • Tait, Rebels enter golf season...

    A year ago, Michael Tait was only a freshman. Yet, at times, he was Columbine's best player. Head coach Tim Capra will tell you that. That's not to say, however, that Tait's veins were filled with ice water. They certainly weren't.

    “It was pretty nerve-racking going in as a freshman to varsity,” Tait said.

    But Keller has chosen to face, for the second year in a row, the Deer Creek Challenge Cycling Race on Aug. 19. The race, in its third year, is a benefit for Conifer’s Mountain Resource Center.

  • Paddleboarding hits the Rockies

    John (J.B.) Bridenbaugh thought he was too late. His friends said he was too early, but from the looks of it his timing is just right.
    J.B., 54, and his wife Nancy, 50, of Bow Mar, opened Altitude Paddleboards, an unassuming paddleboard shop in downtown Littleton on June 8. Although it’s a relatively new sport to Colorado, the Bridenbaughs knew that they had to do something to help build a paddleboarding community.

    “Probably shooting,” Chisholm said. “Making my form better and being a good sport.”
