  • Monarch Riverdale Ridge 4A Football

    I photographed the 4A football playoff game between Riverdale Ridge and Monarch last weekend. I witnessed my first high school overtime game. The rules are related to college rule but the ball is placed at the opponent’s 10-yard line. Monarch stopped Riverdale at 1 to seal the victory, 14-7. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen as much action in such a low-scoring game. Monarch’s defense line had a field day recording 4 sacks and 2 strip fumbles in the second half to make like miserable for the Riverdale quarterbacks.

    2023 CHSAA Basketball Finals

    It was state championship Saturday yesterday for high school basketball in Colorado. Grandview defeated Monarch for the 6A girl’s title 38-28 while Denver East raced past Fossil Ridge 82-61 to take home the 6A boy’s crown. Lack of height did in Monarch as Grandview’s 6′-4″ Sienna Betts dominated inside, scoring 20 points and grabbing 20 rebounds. Meanwhile, Denver East used a balanced attack to blitz Nick Randall and the Fossil Ridge Sabercats. In 4A action, Holy Family took home both state titles. The girls were a season-long #1 seed but the boys surprised a lot of observers, taking home the crown as the #17 seed. They never had a hone playoff game en route to grabbing the trophy.

  • 2017 Colorado High School Hockey Finals

    I photographed for the first time the Colorado High School Hockey Finals at Magness Arena at the University of Denver.  Monarch played in its fifth straight final and won its first championship, 2-1 over Regis Jesuit.  The game was very exciting and game down to the last shot.  I hadn’t shot hockey in a decade so it was a lot of fun to get back to the sport.  I was amazed at how good some of the players were.  It was cool to see a team win its first championship as well.
