Through the first five weeks of the season, the Patriot West was the only 2A Football conference to have all teams at five hundred or better. Now those clubs start league play in what could turn out to be the best league chase in the division. The main event this week pits #5 Resurrection Christian (4-0) against #10 Berthoud (3-0). #8 Eaton (3-1) has the undercard against longtime rival University (2-2). The key matchup between…...
It could turn out to be the Tri Peaks league championship match on Thursday when #6 Manitou Springs hosts #7 Colorado Springs Christian. Both teams enter the week 5-0 in conference play and each has at least a two-game edge on all conference clubs so the winner is in good shape to land the title. The match is one of several with a direct impact on league leads this week. Both the Lions and Mustangs…...
For the first time since 2013, there’s a new number one team in Class 3A volleyball. Lutheran wrestled the top spot away from the five-time defending state champions this week after the Reds went 1-3 at the Eaglecrest Tournament; an event they had won the past three years. Lutheran is unbeaten at 7-0 as they open conference play in the Metro. Our 3A report this week will serve as a league primer across the division. …...
Excellent rivalry matchups that always play in a role in laying out the 2A Football playoff bracket are set for this weekend. La Junta and Kent Denver continue their recent intense series while long-time Weld County rivals Platte Valley and Eaton also collide this week. Friday marks the third straight year the Sun Devils and Tigers have met in the regular season. Two years, La Junta made a huge statement in whipping Kent Denver 35-6…...
There’s just one game on the 2A football slate this week featuring Top 10 team facing off. That’s on Saturday when #9 Eaton makes the trip to #10 D’Evelyn. The meeting of #6 Kent Denver and Faith Christian should also be considered a top 10 battle even though the Eagles were dropped from the rankings following an opening loss to Resurrection Christian. Despite that decision, Faith Christian is still (in our thoughts) among the best…...
History over the past several years tells us that the top teams in Class 3A volleyball often collide in non-conference meetings ahead of brutal league schedules. And that trend continues this week as three top 10 meetings headline the schedule. 7th ranked Resurrection Christian is involved in two of them as they face #2 Lutheran on Tuesday and then #6 Valley on Thursday. #5 Platte Valley and #9 Middle Park also collide on Tuesday. The…...
Less than two weeks into the regular season, there’s been quite a bit of shuffling among the top clubs in Class 2A volleyball. Defending state champion Lyons has dropped their first two matches and several other clubs in the pre-season top 10 have already dropped matches. More shuffling could occur as most of the top contests on tap this week have yet to be played. A key match inside the revamped Santa Fe conference went…...
For the third time in the past 12 months, Faith Christian and Resurrection Christian collide on the gridiron. Their latest meeting takes place on Friday and both teams are in the top 10 this week with the Eagles checking in at #5 and the Cougars one step back in sixth. The clubs split two matchups in 2017. Faith Christian won the season opening battle 9-0 but Resurrection Christian took the more important playoff matchup; rallying…...
Teams from the Patriot and Metro conferences made up the Final Four at the 3A state tournament last year and those two leagues again appear to be the strongest. Two matchups on tap this week involve head-to-head battles of top teams from the two conferences and those results could give fans an early indication of which league has the most depth. Both contests take place on Thursday as #2 Lutheran meets #5 Valley and #4…...
