  • Chatfield’s Games on her game...

    GOLDEN — Is it too early in the season to have state qualifying times? According to the coaches at the D’Evelyn Sprint Pentathlon on Dec. 3 at the Colorado School of Mines it’s never too early.
    In fact, Chatfield head coach Ron Johns, who despite his calm, quiet manner, was rather pleased going into the Pentathlon because one of his girls, junior Brigitta Games, had already nabbed her spot at state in the 100 butterfly the night before at a dual meet against Pomona, in which Chatfield won 216-92, with a time of 1 minute, 3.22 seconds.

  • Overtime heroics propel...

    Host Chatfield led by two goals for most of the game, but visiting Heritage scored two third-period goals, including one in the last two and half minutes, to send their Dec. 3 game at Edge Ice Arena into overtime.
    With the teams still deadlocked with 30 seconds left on the clock and an upcoming faceoff in the Chatfield zone, Heritage called a timeout to design a play. Chatfield coach Mark Glombecki used that time to call a play of his own, and it worked out just as he drew it up.

    SNOW, WHAT SNOW?
    Yes, Mother Nature dumped its fair share of snow on the metropolitan area Thursday and again late Friday night into Saturday morning, but it had no bearing on Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
    Seats, especially in the upper deck, were still covered with the white stuff but the field came out none the worse for wear. And outside of a flip slips here and there the field was in tip-top shape, as evident by Columbine’s potent rushing attack.

  • Rebels’ perseverance and will...

    DENVER — Cameron McDondle showed up to the first day of fall practice 75 minutes late, a yellow physical card in hand. Columbine’s star running back, coming off a 1,583-yard campaign a season earlier, couldn’t practice until that formality was addressed.
    It was a small bump in the road, but it was a bump. And there were plenty of those for the Rebels in 2011. Even so, when the dust cleared, Columbine, like it had done four times in the previous 12 years, was standing above all the rest in 5A.
