  • Carter shatters invite records...

    ARVADA — The Chatfield boys’ swim and dive team took second place at the Jeffco Invite, hosted by Arvada West at Meyers Pool, on April with 20-21, finishing with 267 points overall. Arapahoe took first place with 402 points.
    “I think today was a good test,” Chatfield head coach Ron Johns said. “Obviously, there were some great swims by a couple of the guys and were still making some mistakes, but I think this is a good test (for them) so they know what they are capable of as well as what the other people are capable of.”

  • Rebels pick their spots, blank...

    Ryan Earnest knew what he was facing. After all, as the Columbine left-hander hurler put it, Dakota Ridge isn’t the second-ranked 5A team in the state for nothing.
    But Earnest’s pitching and Columbine’s defense certainly didn’t let the homestanding Eagles show that on April 18. Earnest pitched 5 1/3 innings of one-hit ball, and Columbine scratched out two of its three runs with two outs in a 3-0 victory.

  • Ross gets nod this time in...

    LAKEWOOD — Chatfield No. 1 singles tennis player, senior Katherine Ross, proved April 12 that winning doesn’t have to come at the cost of respect and sportsmanship.

  • Eagles take flight in second half

    So what if it was Friday the 13th. It was also Heritage head coach Brandt Hodgson’s 42nd birthday, and his Eagles gave him quite the present.

  • Rebels feel win was lackluster...

    By the time Columbine had finished off a 9-3 boys lacrosse victory over archrival Chatfield on April 13 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium it was difficult to tell which team actually came out the victor.
    The Rebels, in spite of scoring the game’s first five goals, including three within a span of 72 seconds early in the second half, never trailed, but also didn’t feel like a team that had just won its fourth straight and beaten the Chargers for a second consecutive season.

  • HEART-THUMPING ACTION

    E.J. Boillot knows quite a bit about jump roping. After all, he was a physical education teacher for 23 years at Ute Meadows Elementary School. But 20 years ago, while teaching jump roping in his P.E. class, competing in it through the American Heart Association and then watching a team in Boulder compete, Boillot was ready to take the next step and build a team of his own.
    A competitive team at that.
    It took a while to get kids involved, but Boillot has done just that with the Jumping Eagles.
