CONGRATULATIONS:
Your Girls Flag Football team swept Dakota Ridge Friday night with an incredible double victory!
JV dominated with a 25–7 win, highlighted by Roxy Garrington’s massive 76-yard pick-six. Quarterback Ava Palmer connected with Wide Receiver Sophia Ray for a 17-yard touchdown and Elise Analovitch for the extra point, while Hazel Neubaker was unstoppable on defense, bringing home two interceptions for touchdowns.
Varsity pulled off a nail-biting 8–7 victory! Quarterback Halle Patterson ignited the offense with a 50-yard touchdown run, along with a crucial two-point connection to Cierra Wilburn. On defense, Olivia May was an absolute force, locking down three interceptions alongside double-digit flag pulls. Huge congratulations to both teams!

The Girls Cross Country team raced to a strong third-place finish in the team standings at Friday’s Niwot Invitational! Sophie Bailey and Lucia Bovo earned some extra hardware for finishing among the top 10, taking home t-shirts, gnomes and Sour Patch Kids. Anais Briotet continued her stellar start to the season, finishing third for the Lions. Gillian Glover, who was fourth for the team, also had a great day, notching a new personal record. Way to go, Lady Lions!

Congrats to the Boys Cross Country team on their third-place finish at the Niwot Invitational! Tyler West and Jonas Fontaine put in terrific efforts, both finishing in the top 20. The Lions earned eight personal records in the race, including Jonathan Buck, Logan Elliot, Eli Faulk, Joseph Foresman, Hudson Frazier and Noah Scott.
