It marked Lutheran’s fourth straight title, and third consecutive in 4A, in their fifth straight title game appearance since the program was founded in 2020. “If someone could show me a better class of freshmen through seniors, who had a better run, I’d sit down and have a drink with them,” Lutheran head coach Glen Maestretti said.

AURORA — Be it fall or spring, Eaton’s diamond dominance can’t be stopped. The Reds won their third straight Class 3A softball title and fourth championship in five seasons with an 8-6 victory over rival University on Saturday at Aurora Sports Park. It marked the latest breakthrough for an Eaton softball program that’s started to match the supremacy of the school’s baseball team, which owns a CHSAA-record 15 titles, including four in a row. “Community support and passion for the game are similar in baseball and softball,” first-year head coach Chad Shaw said.

It is time for the Broncos to stop running from the truth. Bo Nix is quick. Not by quarterback standards. By any standard. He cannot pass through a school zone without getting a ticket. He has eclipsed 20 mph on multiple runs, whether a scramble or designed. As we reach the midway point of the season Sunday, coach Sean Payton needs to lean into the movie that is playing on the Mile High Jumbotron, “Fast & Curious.” The prevailing opinion is that Nix was selected in the draft for his accuracy.

BOULDER — You want to know why the Buffs would run through Hades in a gasoline suit, to paraphrase the late Pete Rose, for Robert Livingston? Because he’ll do the same for them. No matter how badly his lungs burn. “I always thought he was a very confident young man. Whenever something would go wrong, a mistake, he wouldn’t let it bother him,” Jimmye Laycock, who coached CU’s wunderkind defensive coordinator at William & Mary, told me recently by phone.

A scamming duo was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment Friday for what prosecutors described as an “elaborate” scheme to dupe an older Castle Pines woman into purchasing and handing over about $203,000 worth of gold bars. Anil Dhiman, 35, and Punit Punit, 30, both Indian immigrants, were behind the fraud in which a caller who identified himself as an “agent” told the woman that her identity had been stolen and someone was using her financial information to write fraudulent checks to pornography websites, according to a news release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. The caller instructed her to open a new bank account, transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars into it and then use the funds to buy the gold bars from a store in Littleton. She was then instructed to hand over the precious metals to an “undercover agent” in the parking lot of a business in Castle Pines.

A screenshot of Michael Gardner’s Instagram account. A Colorado mountain climber fell to his death while descending the Jannu East peak in Nepal this month, during a third attempt at establishing a route on the peak’s north face. A tribute to Michael Gardner published by the American Alpine Club said the 32-year-old was widely respected among his fellow alpinists for his “empathy, enthusiasm, dedication to the craft of climbing, pure motivations and lack of ego.” “His quiet pursuit of the mountains on his own terms means his legacy is not flashy but found in traces and in the background — he was climbing and skiing for the sake of the craft, not for recognition,” the organization wrote. Gardner was born in Ridgway and spent his childhood shadowing his father, George, on climbing expeditions around the world, according to Arc’teryx, an outdoor clothing brand that sponsored Gardner and announced his death on social media Oct.
