United Power’s New EV Charging Station The EV charger is the fastest and most powerful

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Interstate 76 east of Brighton is much more friendly to electric vehicles after United Power added an EV charging station at the Keenesburg Market Street Shell Gas Station.

Travelers can charge up with one of the most powerful EVs stations on the corridor.

“The project is in partnership with Kleve Enterprises which owns Market Street Shell Gas Station and United Power. We had strategically selected this area, given there is a dead zone of about 50 miles where there’s no charging available between Fort Morgan and Brighton. So, we selected this area to try and help provide additional infrastructure for EV drivers and also for United Power,” Joel Danforth Energy Programs and New Business Director for United Power.

United Power planned to make sure there was infrastructure to service the members in Weld County with an EV charging station. It was the reason why they chose the Market Shell Gas Station in Keenesburg.

“It worked out great with our part-

nership with Market Street Shell Gas Station to share the costs. Also, we applied and received a generous grant from the state of Colorado un-

der the “Charge Ahead Program to help finance the project,” Danforth said.

According to United Power, this

charging station will charge the car in 20 minutes which gives up to 50 SEE CHARGING, P8

Manager paints optimistic view in State of the City presentation

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If there were underlying themes to Brighton’s annual State of the City address, they were optimism and gratitude.

City manager Jane Bais DiSessa delivered the address earlier this month.

“We started this year with hope.

The first COVID vaccines were under way,” she said. “This glimmer of hope came after months of uncertainty. COVID didn’t discriminate. Brighton’s own police chief, Paul Southard, battled the virus for several weeks on a ventilator. He was fighting for his life. We are very

fortunate to have him back.”

DiSessa touched on the personal toll from Brighton Brighton Police Chief the virus.

She also touched on the impacts on business and the city’s response. The city set aside more than $4 million for such things as household grants, COVID tests and online marketing classes for businesses. The Brighton

Economic Development Corp. began a promotion encouraging local shopping and purchases.

“It trickled down to the livelihoods of many. People were struggling to pay their mortgage, pay for food,” she said. “That’s not what we want to see.”

There were mental health impacts, too. Two of the city’s school resource officers, Lawrence Hernandez and Jodie Avery met a young man who was having difficulty with quarantine issues.

“They made a pact. If the young man behaved, they’d return and go on a bike ride with him,” DiSessa said in her remarks. “The young man exceeded expectations, and

they took him on a bike ride and ate lunch with him. That warms my heart, knowing we are keeping an eye out for the well-being of others.

Brighton City Council put $500,000 in this year’s budget for COVID response issues.

“This, alongside future funding from the state and federal government, will support our efforts to get a healthy economy in this community back on track,” she said.

Many of last year’s cancellations are returning this year, such as the use of the Oasis waterpark, the gradual reopening of the Eagle View Adult Center and Summerfest. This SEE PRESENTATION, P8

David Robles 1968 - 2021

The Robles family and the Hot Wheels community are saddened by the sudden loss of David Robles on January 4th, 2021. He passed peacefully at his home in Mason City, Iowa.

David lived life by his own rules. He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend and fellow collector who lived 1000 years in the 52 calendar years he was on this earth. He paved his own way leaving his own mark, writing his own story. An obituary is the place we inscribe that story in the book of forever.

As his story goes: He was born in Lubbock, Texas to Juan and Guadalupe (Serna) Robles in 1968 with him being the 3rd out of 4 sons to that union. The family moved to Ft Lupton, Colorado where he went to school and college majoring in auto body because of the love of cars he shared with his dad. In 1994, he gambled and married Barbara Ann Rose in Las Vegas, Nevada. That union took them to Mason City, Iowa where Dave was employed initially by Titan Tire in Ventura and then for Land o Lakes Purina in Mason City for over 20 years. In 1992, shortly after the birth of their son Jonathan, Dave began collecting Hot Wheels which soon turned into a passion that led the family of 3 to be included into a much larger crazy loving Hot Wheels

family that spans the globe. The bonds of love and friendship that grew through this hobby was remarkable. He was so thankful and felt blessed for the many collectors that he considered brothers and sisters in our Hot Wheels family.

Left to cherish his memory, share his story and play with his toy cars are his wife-Barb, son-Jonathan, mother-Guadalupe, and brothers-Juan Jr (Guadalupe) and family, Jaime and Eduardo. Also celebrating his life would be Grandfather Crespin Serna plus many aunts, uncles and cousins, his father in law-Herbert Rose and Barb’s siblings and their families.

David was preceded in death by his father Juan Robles and very special grandmother, Carmen Serna.

A Celebration of Life will be held on May 29th from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fort Lupton Recreation Center 203 S. Harrison Fort Lupton, Colorado. Please join us for food and beverage as we will be gathering to celebrate the life of an amazing husband, father, son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend.

David would not like you to mourn his death but to celebrate his life as his chapter closes.

Gun regulation bill draws ire from WeldCo officials

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A gun-control bill making its way through the Legislature is drawing criticism from Weld County Republicans.

State legislators submitted three proposals; SB Bill 21-256, which allows local regulation of firearms, House Bill 21-1298, which expands firearm transfer background check requirements, and House Bill 211299, which creates an office of gun violence.

Local option SB Bill 21-256, as proposed, would permit local governments to enact laws that prohibit the sale, purchase, transfer or possession of a firearm and would prohibit gun holders from carrying concealed handguns in local buildings. Existing state law doesn’t allow either of these bill’s provisions.

Weld County board of commissioners Chair Steve Moreno said if approved, the new law will create a patchwork of inconsistent rules and regulations across the state.

“State law … guarantees the right to bear arms,” said WeldCo Commissioner Mike Freeman. “Passage of this bill will allow local governments to willfully violate this right.

Background checks House Bill 21-1298 would equire a licensed gun dealer to get approval from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation before transferring a firearm to the customer.

Under the existing federal law,

licensed gun dealers can transfer firearms to customers before receiving the bureau’s background check results. Also, state law allows licensed dealers to transfer or sell firearms without a background check if there is a three-day delay receiving the background check.

The bill would require the bureau to deny an appllcation for a firearm if they have been convicted of specific misdemeanor offenses. Also, the bill would restricts the bureau’s ability to transfer a firearm until the investigation is complete and the transfer does not violate possession of firearms under state and federal laws.

Under existing law, a person can

10% OFF

appeal when the background check is denied for a firearm transfer. The bureau gets 30 days to review the background check with a 60-day deadline for final decision.

If a person was denied a firearm transfer because of having been convicted of a certain offense, they can be prohibited from purchasing, receiving and possessing a firearm.

The bureau cannot continue to deny the firearm transfer if the criminal a case is no longer pending, under current rules. The bill removes this regulation and allows the bureau to continue denying the transfer if the bureau is unable to make a final decision in a case that is no longer in

pending status.

Prevention House Bill 21-1299, within the department of public health and environment bill, would develop an office of gun violence prevention. Its office would create public awareness campaigns and resources in regards to reducing gun violence, plus educate state and federal gun laws.

Depending on funding, the office could establish a grant program and award grants to community organizations to develop programs that focus on interventions, gun violence, trauma, and resources.

Solano, BHS athletic director, steps down Former BHS pom plans to return to the classroom

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton High School needs a new athletic director.

Lindsey Solano decided to step aside and return to the classroom next school year. She sent an email to staff late May 12.

“As we plan and prepare for next year, I want to let everyone know that I have made the difficult decision to return back to the classroom,” her email said. “I am

very grateful for the experience.

However, I miss having the direct influence and interactions with students and the fulfillment I get from working with them on Lindsey Solano COURTESY 27J SCHOOLS a daily basis.

Those connections are why I got into education in the first place. I know that at this point in my career and life that is where I want and need to be.”

Solano is a BHS graduate and former poms coach in the district. She took over the AD job in July after Ty Gordon moved on to Frederick High School.

At the time, Solano was the first in-building hire for the AD’s job in several years.

“I am eternally grateful for the opportunity I have been given to work with an amazing group of studentathletes, coaches, staff members, parents and athletic directors during a very difficult and uncertain time,” she said. “I appreciate the patience and understanding that the BHS community demonstrated as we fought to keep our kids involved in the many activities and athletic

programs we have while doing our best to keep them safe.

Solano’s email said she will be working with Principal Shelley Genereux “to make the best possible transition we can for all.”

“This is certainly not goodbye. As we all know, I’m a Bulldog through and through,” Solano’s email said.

“I will continue to cheer on and support our programs in whatever role I’m in.”

“Thank you coaches and staff for all of your hard work and effort this year. I know it wasn’t easy and I know it pushed many of us to question whether or not we could make it, but we did, and our kids are better off for it.”

Hope House donates car to teen mom for Mother’s Day Lake Arbor Auto and Hands of the Carpenter help facilitate donation of 2003 Corolla

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the fifth consecutive year, Arvada-based nonprofit Hope House partnered with Lake Arbor Auto and Hands of the Carpenter to donate a used car to a local teen mom in need. On April 29, Mackenzie Deshon, a mom of two, was presented with a 2003 Toyota Corolla at Lake Arbor Auto in Westminster — just in time for Mother’s Day. Hands of the Carpenter, a nonprofit based in Golden, accepts donated vehicles and coordinates to match them with single mothers and women in need. Hope House has been coordinating with Hands of the Carpenter and Lake Arbor Auto — who performs complimentary repairs to the vehicle and helps the recipient learn about car maintenance for their first year with the vehicle — since 2017.

This is the first car Deshon, mother to Jayson (3) and Malaysia (2 months), will own. She said that the car will allow her to be more independent and provide for her children.

“It feels great to have to rely on people or ask people for things,” said Deshon. “I’ve been working really hard this past year, and I feel like it’s all paying off. (Hope House) has pushed me and showed me the person I can be, and I’m just always working towards that every day.”

Sean Kuchera, a Service Consultant at Lake Arbor Auto, detailed the complimentary service lessons that will be provided to Deshon during her first year with the Corolla.

“We’ll start with a simple oil change,” said Kuchera, “and then have them bring it in every three months so we can make sure there’s no leaks they don’t recognize. Since this is her first vehicle, we can show her what to keep an eye on and get her in the habit of just knowing what to look for on her own.”

Lake Arbor Technician Chris Crotty explained the work-up he performed on the car after it was donated by Hands of the Carpenter, while also highlighting the importance of the program to him.

“We did a whole look-over the entire car to make sure everything is running safely,” said Crotty, “and double-checking everything and getting stuff fixed after it needs to be fixed to make sure it’s road-safe.

Giving these cars away to people that are really in need of it is great and it’s great to be a part of this. So, I’m glad to do the work.”

Hope House Founder and Director

COURTESY HOPE HOUSE

Lisa Steven thanked Lake Arbor and Hands of the Carpenter for their ongoing partnership and its impact on the moms Hope House works with.

“We appreciate the ongoing partnership with Lake Arbor Auto,” she said. “We rely heavily on local businesses and charitable organizations such as Lake Arbor and Hands of The Carpenter. We know how invested they are in our mission.”

miles. Also, it is one of the fastest and most powerful chargers at 62.5 kilowatts that produces a lot of juice. If the car battery is depleted, it takes up to an hour to fully charge the vehicle. The EV charges by the kilowatt-hour and there is a connection fee.

Also, the charging station is on the Charge Point Network, so an account can be set up using the mobile app or an activation card will be mailed.

Danforth said, “ haven’t finalized the rate set by our board yet. But we do have a very low-cost introductory pricing. We will be reevaluating that to make sure that it is a sustainable business model and that users of EV charging pay a fair rate.”

The EV will be available on Friday, May, 14th once the software configuration is ready and set up. EV stations provide a stronger level of power than home chargers.

“There are different categories, level one and level two. Level one will plug into your standard home wall outlet with 110 volts. A level two charger is an upgrade similar to a clothes dryer or a hot tub. Also, you’ll need to hire an electrician to have it installed. But it will charge a vehicle in about four hours.

Currently, United Power installed its first charging station at its coal creek office in 2019. If this station is successful, United Power leader-

ship will evaluate and come up with a good solid business plan to add additional charging locations for its growing network. In Weld County, there are about 500 EV stations.

Mark Gabriel United Power CEO said, “It’s a relatively new gift to celebrate this great event. When you look back at the history of vehicles, we are finally moving to a place that we have electricity everywhere.

We just need to get the charging stations everywhere. That is a big evolution that’s going on now. It has been going on actually for 30 years, but we’re finally catching up to the need for charging with the availability of the electric vehicles.”

Keenesburg Mayor Ken Gefeller said, “It is great to see the progress and the new technology coming to Keenesburg and the growth is

wonderful.”

Brighton Mayor Greg Mills said,” This is good for the whole I -76 corridors. But there’s a lot of gaps along the corridor between Keenesburg and Nebraska and this will help.”

“We have a ways to go and so much to accomplish,” DiSessa said.

“The staff is ready to make that happen. We are on a path forward.

Economic recovery is on the horizon. By working together, we will emerge stronger.

“To a new year, a new chapter and all we will accomplish.”

Parents should weigh COVID risk for kids Summer plans could raise chance of children getting disease

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

These are heady times for parents in Colorado who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. A summer of possibility sprawls out ahead: travel, visits with family, ball games with friends.

But this optimism is colliding headon with a reminder that, while vaccinated adults are well-protected against infection, their unvaccinated children are not.

The state’s fourth wave of coronavirus cases is being driven by the young.

People age 19 and younger currently make up more than a quarter of all new cases in the state — the group’s highest proportion of the pandemic.

Outbreaks in schools are growing.

Cases among high school and middle school students are rising faster than among any other age group.

“Their rate is much higher than what we’re seeing on average for adults, and the increase we’re seeing is pretty steep at this point,” Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist, said last week.

So does this mean parents need to dial back their families’ post-vaccination plans to boring from roaring?

Not quite, said Dr. Sam Dominguez, an infectious disease specialist at

Children’s Hospital Colorado. But parents who have less concern about their own health now that they’re vaccinated will need to continue taking precautions to protect their kids.

“I think we need to think about kids in the same way we think about unvaccinated individuals,” Dominguez said.

In other words: Kids too young to be vaccinated still need to be cautious about socializing in large groups, eating indoors or having close contact with other unvaccinated people.

Good and bad news The pandemic has already been difficult for parents trying to understand the risks posed to their children.

Kids are much less likely to suffer a severe illness if they are infected with the coronavirus. People age 19 and younger make up less than 0.2% of the state’s COVID-19 deaths and only about 3% of the state’s total coronavirus hospitalizations.

“Overall kids are doing much better than their adult counterparts in this pandemic,” Dominguez said.

This has caused some experts to argue that the risk calculations should be different when it comes to kids and adults. The well-known economist Emily Oster has said that parents should think of their children as being like vaccinated adults, when it comes to the risk of getting really sick.

Though it’s rare, kids can suffer serious consequences from COVID-19.

Colorado has seen several dozen cases of coronavirus-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, a life-threatening condition. Others have

experienced long-term symptoms, such as the loss of their sense of smell.

More easily transmissible coronavirus variants have become the dominant forms of the virus spreading in the state. Herlihy, the state epidemiologist, estimated last week that the B.1.1.7. variant, which was first identified in the United Kingdom, now accounts for roughly 50% of the state’s cases.

While Dominguez said there is no evidence yet that the variants hit kids harder than the virus’s original forms, he said the fact that they are more transmissible will likely lead to faster, wider spread among unvaccinated people, driving case counts higher. And that will naturally lead to more hospitalizations, including in kids.

Dominguez said Children’s Hospital Colorado has already seen an uptick in hospitalizations for COVID-19 as cases have risen in the community.

Navigating summer socializing Dominguez recommends that unvaccinated children follow the same public health guidance for unvaccinated adults. (The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has created a handy chart.)

This means trying to keep most social activities outdoors. Unvaccinated people attending a small, outdoor social gathering with fully vaccinated friends or family don’t even need to wear a mask. But outdoor dining with people from multiple households is considered risky for the unvaccinated, and attending crowded outdoor events, like a concert or a ball game, is even

riskier.

Small indoor events require the familiar precautions — masks and distance. It’s probably best to forgo large indoor events.

Dominguez said the same precautions that apply for kids in social gatherings should also apply in places like summer camps.

“I think we all want to get out and start doing different things,” Dominguez said. “But I think we need to think of kids as being in the unvaccinated group and following guidelines.”

There is good news, though. Currently, kids as young as 16 can receive the coronavirus vaccine made by Pfizer, and Dominguez said he hopes the ability to socialize more freely will be a strong inducement for older teens to get the shot.

Pfizer has asked federal regulators to approve its vaccine for use in kids as young as 12 — a request regulators could grant as soon as next week.

Pfizer and another vaccine maker, Moderna, are also conducting clinical trials for their coronavirus vaccines in kids as young as 6 months old.

So it’s likely that children will one day be able to join their parents among the fully vaccinated. Until then, Dominguez recommends playing it safe.

“They don’t get as sick as adults do,” Dominguez said of kids. “But we also know it’s not zero risk.”

Colorado to host nation’s first ‘drone soccer’ tournaments Effort takes off in partnership with Wings Over the Rockies, training camps in Centennial area

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The idea of “drone soccer” may be difficult to picture, but the obscure sport appears poised to make an entrance into the public eye.

“What we’re doing is highly educational and teaches career skills, and that’s really valuable, especially for young people who are figuring out what they want to study,” said Kyle Sanders, the vice president for U.S. Drone Soccer, the national representative for the sport.

Drone soccer is an electronic, educational “e-sport” where participants build, program, learn to fly and repair drones, Sanders said. A team sport, participants play using racing drones surrounded by plastic exoskeletons. In a netted arena with a hoop on either end, teams try to prevent opponents from flying into their hoop by blocking their drones and crashing into them, Sanders said.

The Rocky Mountain State Games — an event that Sanders called the largest multisport event in the state — is hosting the first statewide tournament for drone soccer, tentatively set to start July 31 at Coronado High School in Colorado Springs.

Participants fly two drones on May 1 during a drone soccer event. The Exploration of Flight facility in the Centennial area hosted an academic drone soccer competition for high school students, including students from Coronado and Westminster high schools, according to a news release.

The Rocky Mountain games are “like a mini-Olympics,” Sanders said.

“That includes for athletes with physical disabilities and other events.”

U.S. Drone Soccer launched in Colorado with the first academic program adopted at Coronado High School, according to the games’ event website.

The upcoming state games will also be the first public tournament in North America for drone soccer, according to Sanders.

“There have been international competitions in other countries,” but nothing in North America, Sanders said. “It’ll be available, there will be

Rocky Mountain Arsenal Draft Five-Year Review Report Available for Public Comment The U.S. Army recently prepared its fifth Five-Year Review (FYR) draft final report for Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA). The FYR process covers a statutory and policy review of RMA's 1995 Off-Post and 1996 On-Post Records of Decision (RODs). The RODs provide detailed descriptions of the cleanup approach selected for the site.

The purpose of the FYR is to determine whether RMA's environmental cleanup continues to be protective of public health and the environment. A critical part of the FYR is to determine if changes to environmental standards have occurred and to determine if the remedy outlined in the RODs and subsequent decision documents remains protective in light of new standards.

FYRs at RMA will be required for the foreseeable future, since the cleanup approach included on-site landfills and consolidation areas to hold contaminated waste from RMA's cleanup. These areas total approximately 1,000 acres and are managed and monitored by the U.S. Army.

In keeping with its commitment to public involvement, the Army is seeking input on this report. All public comments received in writing by July 2, 2021, will be reviewed and considered in the final report as part of RMA’s site record.

competitions, in rest of the country by the end of the year.”

U.S. Drone Soccer is introducing new academic and community leagues across the country and serves as national representatives to the World Air Sports Federation, according to the state games’ event website.

The rise of the sport has also landed it in the Denver metro area, collaborating with Wings Over the Rockies — a nonprofit that works to educate about aviation and space — and the nonprofit’s Exploration of Flight campus, where flight enthusiasts can have fun but also learn about aerospace in general. The Exploration of Flight campus sits at Centennial Airport in the south metro area.

On May 1, the Exploration of Flight facility hosted what the Wings nonprofit called the first academic competition in North America for high school students, bringing in students from Coronado and Westminster high schools and the Wings Aerospace Pathways program, according to a news release.

On top of that, beginning June 1,

drone soccer training camps will take place at the Exploration of Flight facility for students ages 12 to 17 who want to learn to build and fly drones as they prepare for the Rocky Mountain State Games, according to a news release.

New training sessions are to occur from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday to Friday on specific weeks in June and July.

Registrants may use Wings’ equipment or purchase discounted equipment, according to the news release.

The intent is for camp participants to play in the state games, said Sanders, who is also a program manager with Wings Over the Rockies.

The drone soccer training camps cost $485 to participate in, but that includes the purchase of the drone equipment, Sanders said. Cost comes to $300 if participants don’t want to keep the equipment. Discounts are available, Sanders added.

Those interested can register at explorationofflight.org/dronesoccercamp.

Planes collide over state park, no one injured Aircraft were on approach to land at Centennial Airport

BY ZACH BRIGHT THE COLORADO SUN

Two small airplanes collided over Cherry Creek State Park on the morning of May 12 as they prepared to land at Centennial Airport, one of the nation’s busiest general aviation airports.

No one was killed or injured.

One aircraft with two people aboard crash-landed roughly four miles north of Centennial airport in Cherry Creek State Park while the other, which had just one occupant, landed safely at the airport.

Air traffic control recordings and flight tracking websites show the planes collided as they both turned toward Centennial Airport’s parallel runways.

The plane that landed safely was a Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner operated by Key Lime Air. FlightAware.com records show the Metroliner, a twin-engine propeller plane, was headed to Centennial Airport from Salida.

A photo of the Metroliner at Centennial Airport showed a large section of the aircraft’s rear fuselage missing. Key Lime Air uses the Metroliner to ferry freight across Colorado.

The plane that crashed was a Cirrus SR-22, which had taken off from Centennial Airport about an hour earlier and was heading back to the airport after flying up to the Fort Collins area, according to FlightAware records.

The Cirrus deployed a parachute

it is equipped with that can allow the aircraft to float to the ground during emergencies.

Air traffic control communications archived on liveatc.net provide insight into what happened.

The Metroliner was cleared to land on Runway 17 left. At roughly the same time, the Cirrus was cleared to land on a parallel runway, Runway 17 right, on a different air traffic control frequency.

The Cirrus pilots were warned not to veer too far to the east and stay toward the west end of Cherry Creek Reservoir as they turned their plane south to line up to land. Air traffic control warned the Cirrus that the Metroliner was nearby.

Moments later, the planes collided.

“Looks like the right engine failed so I’m going to continue my landing,” the Metroliner’s pilot said, apparently not realizing the collision had happened.

Another pilot called air traffic controllers to say they saw the Cirrus with its parachute deployed floating down to the ground, indicating there was a collision.

South Metro Fire Rescue and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office responded to the collision.

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will be investigating the crash.

“Initial report indicates collision happened as airplanes were landing,” the NTSB tweeted. “The NTSB will travel to the scene.”

Norse rally for one-run win over T-Hawks

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

NORTHGLENN – It has been a slow start to the 2021 baseball season for the Northglenn High School, but Saturday the Norse got their bats going to pick up their first win of the season.

Northglenn rallied back from an early deficit to top rival Prairie View 4-3 to open the Eastern Metro Athletic Conference play with a victory.

“We have a lot of pop in our lineup,” Northglenn coach Chris Mann said. “When they do find the barrel, we can do some damage.”

Facing a 3-1 deficit the Norse started to find their pop in the bottom of the fifth inning. Northglenn did the damage with three doubles in a row.

With two outs, Omar Arrieta started the rally with a deep hit to center field. He then scored when Robbie Brown-Lee found a hole behind second base. Zach Leal tied the game up with his RBI double to score Brown-Lee. Northglenn took the lead in the sixth when catcher Ethan Hotz hit a double off the center-field wall to

score Quintin Scoggins.

“They really had a great approach at the plate and waited for their pitch,” Mann said. “It is a big to start conference 1-0, especially against a team like Prairie View that is going to be really good this year.”

The ThunderHawks did their damage in the fourth and fifth innings.

Trevor Devincenzi hit an RBI double to score Nicholas Brainerd in the fourth, and then Anthony Rivera scored on an error in the fifth and CJ Schomaker hit an RBI double to left field to score Wyatt Waterhouse to give PVHS a 3-1 advantage.

Northglenn (1-3 overall, 1-0 EMAC) dropped three non-conference games before starting league play.

The Norsemen host Hinkley at 4 p.m. Friday, May 21.

“We used those non-league games for warmup because, unfortunately, we weren’t able to play any spring training league games,” Mann said.

It was the first game of the season for Prairie View (0-1 overall, 0-1 EMAC). The T-Hawks were in quarantine the first week of the season, then had to reschedule a game

FLHS fields junior-class heavy squad for 2021

FLHS fields junior-class heavy squad for 2021

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fort Lupton’s girls soccer team is like a lot of others these days. The Bluedevils are back on the pitch for the first time in two years.

“I like their work ethic, the desire to want to get better,” said coach Archie Suniga, “They had their season taken away with COVID. Enjoy it while you have it. You never know when these moments are gone. It’s high school. Let’s have some fun, create some memories and be the best you can.”

The 18-person roster includes 10 juniors and four seniors.

“We’ve got a lot of juniors. It’s somewhat of a young team. But they are happy to be out,” Suniga said. “I love coaching the girls. I like being here. It’s nice to be back in the community.” Suniga coached both the girls and boys programs for several years. He surrendered the boys program to take over the boys team at Riverdale Ridge in Thornton.

General improvements for the squad, according to Suniga, include

more knowledge of individual roles on the team.

“We have to be able to pass better, connect with our feet better. We have to keep our minds engaged the whole game,” Suniga said. “The first two games, we put in good performances.”

FLHS lost 2-0 to the Byers campus of the Denver School of Science and Technology. The other game was a 6-0 shutout against Manual High School.

“We were competitive right to the end (against DSST),” Suniga said.

“We put six on the board against Manual. That’s the first time I can remember a Fort Lupton girls team scoring six goals. We keep building and going forward.”

There was a mixed bag of news when the subject was turnout.

Thirty players wanted to play this spring.

“We picked a bad year to have 30 girls turn out because not everyone got the same turnout. They are having a very hard time finding JV games,” Suniga said. “I’ve had to move a lot of them up to give them some playing time. That’s probably the only hangover from the pandemic.

They are getting varsity experience young, which is good. We can build

“We didn’t have a good performance tonight. The girls worked. They hustled. That’s all we can ask for. We can keep working on the other stuff, fundamentals, the tactical stuff. It’s one game. We’ve got seven more to go. We’ll move on.”
