AURORA — Riverdale Ridge just put Class 5A on notice. In the school’s first year in the biggest classification, the Ravens claimed the state title by beating Broomfield 9-8 in the semifinals and then Cherokee Trail 8-4 in the championship on Saturday at Aurora Sports Park. It marked the young school’s first team title in Class 5A, and only its third team title overall, joining Class 4A crowns in boys golf in 2021 and girls basketball last winter. Not bad for a program that started with just seven players at its first practice six years ago. “That first practice, us coaches looked at each other and I said, ‘It’s time to walk the halls,'” Riverdale Ridge head coach Ray Garza said.
