  • Columbine blocks Mullen’s path

    LAKEWOOD — Ryan Earnest stands 6-foot-2, and the Columbine Rebels defender used every inch of his frame when his team needed him to the most.
    With the injury-riddled Rebels clinging to a three-point lead with 3 seconds remaining and Mullen’s John Scott lining up for a game-tying 40-yard field goal, Earnest found his way over the Mustangs’ offensive line and sealed, quite possibly, Columbine’s biggest win — a 24-21 victory — in the past five years.

  • State loss doesn’t spoil Dakota...

    AURORA — It might’ve been a bitter pill to swallow. It certainly wasn’t Dakota Ridge’s desired ending. But considering it had been eight years since the Lady Eagles had reached the 5A state softball tournament, even losing 4-2 to Brighton in the quarterfinals on Oct. 21 at Aurora Sports Park couldn’t diminish the season that was.

    To say Ashley Williams was a little concerned would be an understatement. The Columbine senior did not want to lose, especially to rival Chatfield. Yet things didn’t look too promising for the Lady Rebels after the first game on Oct. 20 at Chafield High School.

  • McDondles, Rebels tune up for...

    LAKEWOOD — Despite being undefeated there were still questions about Columbine entering its game with Bear Creek on Oct. 20 at Jeffco Stadium.
    In its first seven games, Columbine had faced only one team with a winning record in Arapahoe. But the Rebels put most doubts aside with a convincing 38-20 win.
    Columbine overcame injuries to senior linebacker Jaxon Mohr (arm/shoulder), junior linebacker Trent Headley (arm/shoulder), and senior defensive lineman Josh Croy (elbow) in the first half.

  • Gut-wrenching end for Chatfield

    LOVELAND — Rebecka Mintz couldn’t control her tears. Carlie Sexton was physically distraught. What had been an improbable run through the 5A Jeffco League for the Chatfield Lady Chargers’ softball team came to a crashing halt on Oct. 15 at the Region 4 tournament.
    Chatfield, the region’s top and 5A’s fourth overall seed, went from a state-tournament favorite to an afterthought after an error-proned 4-3 loss to Cherokee Trail at Barnes Softball Complex at Fairgrounds Park.
