Congratulations to Kent Denver and Northfield for taking home the CHSAA 3A and 4A girl’s soccer titles last night at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Kent used a dominant first half to roll past Jefferson Academy 3-0 and Northfield survived a second half onslaught by Windsor to escape with the 0-0 win in penalty kicks. The Northfield goalie was the hero on the night stopping several point blank shots and 2 shots in the penalty kicks.

I am in the midst of covering the CHSAA 4A and 5A basketball Final 4 at the Denver Coliseum. I’m posting photos of the Semifinal games. In 4A boy’s action, Lewis-Palmer defeated Pueblo Central and Pueblo South ended the run of Frederick. In 5A, Thunder Ridge edged Denver East by 1 and Fossil Ridge advanced to the final by defeating Chaparral. Yesterday, the girl’s finalists were decided. In 4A action, Windsor defeated rival Mead while Mullen easily downed Green Mountain. In 5A, top seeded Valor Christian defeated Arapahoe while Grandview dominated Highlands Ranch. I can’t wait to see who takes hime the titles this evening.
I photographed a Grind Session high school basketball tournament tournament for the first time yesterday. The Gary Rhoades Classic was held at Aurora Central High School. It featured some high level basketball and change to see some of the top 100 high school basketball recruits in the country. Here are photographs form four of the games.

It’s difficult for lightning to strike twice but that’s exactly what happened for the Legacy Lightning boy’s basketball team against Broomfield tonight. Legacy clawed back from a 9 point deficit with 5:41 to go to defeat Broomfield on a last-second three. This is the second time Broomfield has lost at home in heart-breaking fashion. They dropped a close one to Centaurus earlier this year in similar fashion at the buzzer.
It is not often a boy’s basketball game comes down to the last shot to decide victory. But on Thursday night, Centaurus dug down deep and came away with a 45-44 victory in the CHSAA 4A contest. Centaurus’s Levi Rubin sank a three-pointer with :01 left on the clock to give the Warriors the win. It was the last of 3 three-pointers in the final 1:30 to erase an 8-point deficit to secure the win. The Centaurus students in attendance mobbed Rubin after the clock expired.
Broomfield controlled much of the action after halftime to pull out to a 44-36 lead. But senior center Kevin Bedford was the difference defensively for the Warriors. He blocked several shots down the stretch, paving the way for Centaurus comeback. the Warriors are now 9-0 on the year.
Colorado came close to losing to an inferior opponent at home last night. Eastern Washington came into town with a 4-4 record. But a big three-point play down the stretch proved to the the difference and CU fans exhaled as the Eagles missed a shot at the buzzer that would have tied it. CU hung on to win 60-57 to improve to 7-3 on the year. The game showcased Colorado’s inconsistency. They fell fell behind 6-0 only to score the next 14 points. They took a big lead into half only to watch the Eagles whittle it back down to a point at 47-46 mid-way through the second half. Cold shooting and poor perimeter defense at the three point line once again plagued the Buffaloes. But in the end they asserted their size down low and pulled out a much needed victory.

Erie defeated Montrose 29-28 to advance to the Colorado 4A state football final Saturday. Montrose edged out to a 28-14 lead in the fourth quarter only to see Erie rally with 5:30 remaining. After scoring a touchdown, Erie recovered an on-side kick. It marched down the field and got the tying score. It then ran in a two-point conversion to take a one point lead. Montrose wasn’t done yet, however. After converting a long pass and marching down to the Erie 30, Montrose would fumble, sealing the victory for Erie.
