    ARVADA — All season long, the D’Evelyn cross country team has made the state competition its goal, and now that it’s qualified both the boys and girls teams for the end-all race in Colorado Springs this Saturday, it seems as though all the Jaguars’ hard work has paid dividends.

    That’s not to say their job is done yet, though.

    LYONS — Front Range Christian School’s cross country team may be small this year — with only a handful of boys and no girls to represent it on the race course — but that didn’t stop the Falcons from qualifying two boys for the state competition this weekend.

    The sophomore tandem, Andre Stablein and Anthony Earl, qualified individually for state by placing in the top 15 runners at the Class 2A Region 1 cross country meet at Lyons High School on Thursday. Stablein finished at 18:02.00 at ninth overall, followed by Earl at 14th place (18:50.00).

  • MAKING A STATE-MENT: Chatfield...

    DENVER — Chatfield’s junior tennis star Christian Holmes surpassed expectations on Saturday, not only winning the 5A state tennis tournament at No. 1 singles, but also being the first player at a singles position to win state in Chatfield school history.

    It was also the first time a Jeffco player had won the title in the largest classification (5A) since 1996 and the fifth time ever since state tennis first began in 1927.

    DENVER — Columbine’s junior Luke Andrews may have only started playing tennis three years ago as a freshman, but that didn’t stop him from making it to the 5A state tournament on Thursday at the Gates Tennis Center.

    The last time Columbine sent a No. 1 singles player to state was in 2006, when Angelo Faustino finished third overall.

    LITTLETON — All season long, Columbine gymnastics has been working its way up to put itself in a good position going into the postseason. After placing second at its own meet on Thursday, the Rebels are feeling pretty good right now.

    LAKEWOOD — It’s far from wrapped up, but Columbine football has taken a sizable advantage in the Class 5A Mount Cameron League.

    The Rebels, No. 6 in the CHSAANow.com 5A rankings, have back-to-back wins over conference foes No. 10 Fairview and No. 7 Mullen to grab the inside track to a league title and automatic berth in the 16-team state field. Columbine scored 38 unanswered points from the first quarter until late in the third quarter on the way to a 41-24 victory over Mullen on Thursday at Jeffco Stadium.

  • D'Evelyn softball ends...

    GOLDEN — The D'Evelyn softball team wouldn't seem to have much in common with Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals, except that both have joined the close-but-no-cigar club of late.

    "We just can't get over that hump,'' veteran coach Dan Porreco lamented on Oct. 14 after the Jaguars came up one win shy of qualifying for the 4A state tournament for the second straight year.

  • Jaguars, Rebels and Chargers...

    LITTLETON — On a hot, sunny Thursday at Clement Park, Jeffco’s 4A and 5A cross country teams met to compete in their league meets before heading to regionals. D’Evelyn, Chatfield and Columbine all fared well in the large meet in their respective classifications.

    The race, in and of itself, was really a precursor for each team’s regional competition, which is far more important.

    LAKEWOOD — This season may not have been kind to the Dakota Ridge soccer team, but after winning no games last year, its 2-12-1 final record is something to be proud of.
