Paws to Heal Therapy dogs help patients and staff with stress BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Therapy dog Sweet usually starts her day walking down the halls of Platte Valley Medical Center towards section two-west. She heads into the nurse’s stations there where a group of six nurses surrounds the pup, excited to see her. “Sweet put her head down in one lady’s lap which she’s has never done that before. The lady had been crying and asked if she could hug Sweet and mentioned she needed loving today and had a tough day, “said Cheryl Palumbo, Sweet’s handler. “Dogs know when people need attention.” Sweet, a slender and calm greyhound, is a working therapy dog with an organization called Paws to Heal. The therapy dogs go into the hospitals visiting patients and staff bringing comfort, joy and reducing stress. Paws to Heal started at Platte Valley Medical Center (PVMC) years ago when it first opened at its location in 2007. Palumbo had not heard of the program so when she took Sweet in for a checkup one of the ladies at the veterinarian office, who was in the Paws to Heal group, witnessed Sweet’s interaction with people, dogs and a cat in the waiting area. “The lady told me your dog would be perfect as a therapy dog so she told me a little about it. After six months, I took her to the trainer,” said Palumbo. Susan Wiant with her previous lab named Avalanche also started volunteering with Paws to Heal when PVMC first opened. The organization started as two separate companies, Alliance Therapy Dogs and Pet Partners, so the organizations renamed it Paws to Heal. “We have seven actual teams and two new teams that will be starting so we will have nine teams of dogs,” said Wiant. During the COVID pandemic shutdown impacted the therapy dogs and handlers too not being

able to come to the hospital. “They let us back in with staff for a while and it’s been wonderful with the dogs. Slowly we are allowed on all the units with patients, but with COVID, it’s been the main concern with us, “ said Wiant. All the therapy dogs are members of their owners’ households but go through obedient training and Canine Good Citizen training. The handlers go through training, too. Beverly Cudsik with her dog Pepper has volunteered for six years visiting hospitals. “Pepper did a lot of training in the beginning when she was a puppy and I took her to obedience and Canine Good Citizen classes. Then you are connected to organizations,” said Cudsik. “When you use your dog, you know what kind of personality they have. When I got my dog seven months ago, she was just so sweet and calm. I just knew she’d make a great therapy dog.” Once the dog completes training, they are evaluated on basic skills, such as how they react to people, to noises and to different environments. After passing, the therapy dog is ready to visit organizations. The breed of a dog does not mat-

ter, Cudzik said. The main thing is personality and if they like people or like being petted. “It could be any dog, a big dog or small dog. Whatever you choose, you know your dog,” said Cudsik. “Sometimes the dog can be wonderful at home but don’t like people or crowds, so they are not a good therapy dog.” Cudsik chooses where she and Pepper want to visit from hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. PVMC was her first assignment has been coming ever since. “I go other places, but I like Platte Valley. It’s like home and family. It makes me so happy. Pepper just loves it and seeing the joy she brings to people,” said Cudsik. “Also, we bring them to the courthouse and she calms people down,” she said. “They are all stressed out and afraid to testify. S,he just makes them happy and the staff too. They say ‘You just made my day.’ “ Brad Layman is a registered nurse and nurse educator at the hospital for 22-years and was in the emergency department. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have known Susan Wiant since the inception and watched her wonder-

ful family of dogs going through here, which I got very connected with,” said Layman. Layman says with the patientcentered care model at PVMC the therapy dogs are a great addition to the hospital. “This is phenomenal addition is very successful, in my opinion, as far as with visiting the patients,” said Layman. “In this day on how healthcare has gone and the stress on healthcare workers is a lot and associates as well. It’s not only for the patients, which is a huge part of it and very effective. The hospital’s employees look forward to seeing the dogs, too. “Everybody is just overjoyed with them and it has helped with the health and wellness of the caregivers as well,” said Layman. “It’s a huge asset to the entire organization. I can’t imagine not having them. They make my day every time I see him.” Joy Memmen a registered nurse at Platte Valley and has held various positions, but spent most of her time as an ICU nurse. During the COVID pandemic, I would describe it to people there are two worlds, there’s the world outside the hospital, and the world inside the hospital- the world inside the hospital has been like a war the last couple of years,” said Memmen. Our staff, our patients, all the caregivers have endured a lot of trauma.” Memmen says when the staff sees the dogs it helps to heal the trauma, but when the dogs were unable to come in during the shut down the staff was devastated for the first few months. So when the therapy dogs were allowed to come to the parking lot outside, the staff scheduled time to come out to visit them. “I seek out the dogs and know what time they come in and when they are at the bistro. I’ll go down to say hello to the dogs just to spend a few minutes with them. I’m not sure what we would have done without them, “ said Memmen. “It is so important for mental health to have that little bit of sunshine and a little bit of animal companionship.”

Carol Shull

February 8, 1936 - January 23, 2022

Carol Jean (Opie) Shull, 85, of Ft. Lupton, Colorado, passed away January 23, 2022 at her home. She was born February 8, 1936 in Denver, Colorado to William and Esther (Tippett) Opie and grew up in Denver. Her father was born in Aspen and when she was young, her family would take annual camping trips to a mountain lake near Aspen. She loved those trips and often reminisced about them. She attended Colorado A&M (which later became Colorado State University) in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and was studying voice and piano performance, when she met George B. Shull. They were married June 25, 1955, shortly after he graduated from Colorado A & M. They honeymooned in a cabin in the Boulder Canyon, then packed up their belongings and continued their honeymoon as they traveled via the Black Hills, Lake Superior, Niagara Falls, and Montreal, Canada, before finally arriving in Connecticut, where George started his first engineering job, at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company. Carol also got a job at Pratt & Whitney, in the office. They soon became a family – their first seven children were born in Connecticut. Their next child, Dana Lee, was born after they moved back to Denver; she died when she was only six months old. They moved away from Colorado two more times, to Idaho (where Doug was born) and California, each time returning to Colorado for several years between George’s aerospace jobs in other locations, and they finally retired in Ft. Lupton. Carol loved being a mom. While in Connecticut, she helped with a Girl Scout troop and enjoyed going camping with the troop. Over the years she also was active in the churches she attended, frequently singing WEBB

in the choir, playing piano and organ, and more recently, helping with a puppet ministry. She also taught Sunday School and served as the Sunday School superintendent at one of the churches. She had a heart for babies and young mothers and knit baby items for newborns and for caring pregnancy centers. She started the Open Arms Pregnancy Center which had two locations - in Brighton and Ft. Lupton - and she was the director for a number of years. Other interests involved sewing, reading and collecting things; she had collections of dolls, teddy bears, teapots, and crèches. Carol is survived by these children: George Daniel (Theresa) Shull, Deborah Ruth (Tom) Schesvold, Diane Carol (Rick) Perrin, Darrell William (Susan) Shull, Donna Lynn (David) Stall, Doreen Kay (Eric) Wiechert, daughterin-law Dionne Shull (wife of David Matthew Shull), Douglas James (Autumn) Shull; 16 Grandchildren: Trevor Shull, Joshua (Ezzy) Schesvold, Jennifer Schesvold, Matthew Schesvold, Abigail (Charles) Lutte, Joseph Perrin, Nathan Perrin, Jesse (Sadie) Shull, Jasper (Bill) Guildner, Andrew (Lea) Stall, Aaron Stall, Kate Stall, Nicholas Wiechert, Christopher Wiechert, Anthony (Kate) Albright, Santana Shull; and 6 greatgrandchildren: Imogen, Hannah, Evaline, Evelyn, Carolynn, Benjamin (and one more soon to arrive). She is preceded in death by her husband George Bolton Shull, her daughter Dana and her son David. A memorial service is planned for Saturday, March 12th at 10:30 am at Harvest Fellowship Church, 11401 E 160th Avenue, Brighton, CO 80602.

Hall of Fame nomination caps 42-year career Mary Nell Stringer had long career at Eagle Ridge High School BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After years of teaching students and helping to mold the next generation of teachers, a Brighton charter school veteran is in the running for honors from the Colorado League of Charter Schools. Mary Nell Stringer was nominated as a finalist for the 2022 Charter School Hall of Fame award by the Colorado League of Charter Schools. The winner will be announced Tuesday and Wednesday, March 1 and 2 at the Westin Westminster. Stringer retired from Eagle Ridge Academy in 2020 after 42 years in education, Brighton is not where she got her start. “I wanted to be a teacher because I had so many wonderful teachers myself growing up. I love reading, English, poetry, writing, and short stories. The study of the English language and grammar- I love it,” said Stringer. Stringer received her undergraduate at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. A master’s at Western Governors and an education specialist degree at Arkansas State. Stringer taught English in sev-

eral schools across the country for 33-years, before moving to Brighton. “My husband’s first career was as a Presbyterian minister. So, we moved every few years and I’ve taught high-school English in North Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma in several different places,” she said. When Stringer moved to Brigh-

ton, home was in the Bromley Park neighborhood. At the time, they were building Bromley Charter School. Stringer was walking her dog one day when she met the school’s principal. After a conversation, he asked if she wanted to teach fifth-grade languagfe art at the charter school. Stringer said she didn’t know much about charter schools and wasn’t sure if she wanted to teach fifth grade because she only taught high school. “He talked me into it, that I would have more academic freedom and my choices with students than I would have in a traditional public school. Also, the classes are smaller,” said Stringer. “It’s a unique opportunity to start teaching these students in fifth grade and continue and teach them in the sixth, and seventh and in eighth. At the time, that was the philosophy at Bromley, but it’s not any more.” The school opened in 2001, and Stringer stayed there until 2007 before going over to Eagle Ridge Academy, another charter school. “The principal knew about my background teaching high school. He said we’re going to be a collegiate high school, a small school, said “ Stringer. Stringer took on a new role as dean of students in 2012 at Eagle Ridge. “I love the classroom and had been in the classroom for years. It was intriguing for me. I thought

this is a good thing for me to do and good for the school. Also, it was something to do differently,” she said. Stringer moved into the office and administration and loved the job. But the only thing she didn’t like was disciplining students. “I wasn’t crazy about it. You can love and care for kids and still discipline them in a loving and caring way that promotes growth,” said Stringer. With the job came the opportunity to work with new teachers. She developed an induction program that was approved by the state so the school could bring in their teachers and work with them to get from a provisional license to a professional license. Stringer said “Being a charter school, we would get a lot of teachers just out of college. So, the opportunity to coach and learn professional development is how to be a better instructional leader.” As Dean of Students, I also did event planning and worked with clubs and organizations. In addition to working with parents and support groups. It was quite rewarding and I enjoyed it.” Stringer got a master’s and became assistant principal. Then she took on Head of School and Principal position in 2017. Answering to the charter school’s board of directors, she was also involved in SEE FAME, P5

Driverless warehouse company ready to go Company said tech might be a cure for supply chain clogs BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A company that specializes in artificially intelligent, driverless systems that help dock trailers full of goods into distribution yards said they are ready to go to market. For Andrew Smith, founder and CEO of Golden-based tech firm Outrider, it might be a key solution to the nation’s current supply chain woes. “Automation is key to relieving the inflationary pressure on the supply chain,” Smith said. “Distribution yards are critical links in the supply chain and prime targets for automating the flow of goods between over-the-road transportation and fulfillment centers, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. Automating yards requires reliable systems capable of backing trailers of all kinds safely and precisely into parking spots and dock spots billions of times a year, he said. Outrider specializes in the kinds of autonomous yard operations that could change the face of the trucking industry and distribu-

tion yards. The Golden company has been testing its fleet of fully autonomous yard trucks that can back semi-trailers using a full range of motion, parking them into tight spots without additional modifications. It is designed to fit on any semi-trailer — including 28-foot single trailers and articulated trailers up to 53-feet — and can also park dry van trailers, containers, and refrigerated trailers without human interaction. Outrider opened its first testing facility site in Brighton in August 2021, using self-driving trucks driven in a distribution yard with technology to move and park semi-trailers into loading docks to distribute freight and cargo. The facility, located at 22600 E. I-76 Frontage Road in Brighton, has been used both to assemble and test the self-driving vehicles. The facility is a 200,000 square foot distribution yard built with 49 dock door. Each yard truck is capable of precisely backing trailers into the docks, controlled by a computer operated by an employee within the building near the dock using Outriders backing technology. Each unit is fully autonomous with strict operational requirements. Crooked parking Tyler Hults, a former truck driver, joined the Outrider team in 2020 as a Test Operations Lead at the Brighton Outrider location. He

has experience parking a rig in a distribution yard and understands the job’s challenges. “High-precision articulated backing will increase the efficiency and organization of distribution yards by having trailers backed perfectly in their spot, every time,” said Hults. “In most yards, you have trailers that are parked crooked, double-parked, or so off-center that the dockworker can’t get the loading ramp into the trailer, requiring a yard hostler to redo the job. With Outrider’s precise backing abilities, the job will be done right the first time and allow more throughput at the facility.” The Outrider system is designed into three parts; the management software, the autonomous vehicles and the site infrastructure. The system uses robotics to hitch, unhitch, connect and disconnect brakes lines on trailers. It also has built-in commands to interact safely with loading docks, tractortrailer locations and it manages all of the system functions from one location. “By developing advanced algorithms and integrating with sen-

sors and actuation, we’ve delivered the accurate trailer backing necessary for yard automation,” said Jeremy Nett, Vice President of Software Engineering at Outrider. S The company tested the system c at its own Advanced Testing Facility Brighton and several customer t C sites, Nett said. The system has been tested in diverse conditions, a w running day and night. S Hults said the system frees employees working in distributione t yards, giving them more opportunities to do meaningful work instead of fixing mistakes and helping the truck drivers search for parking. “It will increase the capacity of the yard by ensuring spaces can be utilized and are not occupied by double-parked trailers or too tight to back into,” said Hults. “It’s a major pain-point for both over-the-road drivers and yard truck drivers, as many distribution centers are near capacity and might only have one or two available spots to park a trailer. There’s nothing more frustrating to a truck driver than finding the only available spot that’s too tight to back into.” FROM $

RE-8 signals interest in IGA with city BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Weld Re-8 School District has its eyes on land for potential school development on the east and west ends of Fort Lupton. With that as a backdrop, Superintendent Alan Kaylor told his bosses, the members of the school board, it should engage with the city of Fort Lupton to make it happen. The two entities had a renewable, five-year intergovernmental agreement that expired in 2013. The lack of an agreement with the city of Fort Lupton costs the district money in terms of rooftops, he s. The district and the city of Dacono have an IGA.

Kaylor said a piece of the builders’ permit cards indicates an obligation to pay the local school district. “That’s what we’re after. We are collecting zero dollars on these new houses,” Kaylor told the school board. “It’s instant profit for the builders. We have a problem collecting these moneys. The builder basically says, ‘Thank you but no thank you. We have no obligation to pay you. “Think of the numbers of homes that have gone up since 2012, 2013. At some point, we may need to do some leveraging and go to a council meeting and encourage them to go forward with an IGA,” he added.

The district has been in talks with city Planner Todd Hodges and City Administrator Chris Cross. Kaylor said he sensed some interest on the city’s part to enter into another IGA. Kaylor also suggested an agreement of no more than five years in length to leave open the chance for revisions based on growth and enrollment patterns. “We have to be careful that we spend the money appropriately,” Kaylor cautioned. “We can use the money for building and land acquisitions only.” Kaylor also enlisted the services of Shannon Bingham, to produce an estimate of the value of rooftops in Dacono and Fort Lupton. The cost is between

$5,000 and $6,000, Kaylor said. She helped the district redesign its school-board member boundaries last year. “It’s well worth it,” Kaylor told the board. “We should get more money per rooftop. We’re looking at growth on the east and west ends of the district.” One parcel is near Weld County Road 13 and Summit Boulevard, on the west end of the district. The 50-acre project wound up on the back burner because of the pandemic. Kaylor also identified 55 acres on the east end of town as a site for potential development. “At some point, we’re going to be needing that,” he told the board.

Stringer says at Eagle Ridge they developed a strong partnership with the 27J school district. “Without them and their partnership, it would have been a lot more difficult to manage the pandemic. But we were very fortunate from early days, Dr. Fiedler was quite communicative with us and was able to partner with his leadership team to help plan the first year,” said Stringer. Stringers says they did not do any new learning but continued

and January 2022, according to a statement. The district released a statement in which it said it was “very sad and angered by the alleged inappropriate relationship of a former employee with a student.” “Based on the charges brought against the defendant, we find this situation deeply disturbing and traumatic,” the statement said. Ruiz also faces a count of sexu-

al assault on a child as a pattern of abuse and sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust both felonies. “Our first priority is the care and support of the victim,” the district’s statement said. “We have offered support to the victim’s family and will continue to offer ongoing support.” Thornton police are continuing their investigation, so extra information is not available.

“However, because we value transparency with our families, earlier this week we reached out to our school parent community to let them know about the allegation and the nature of law enforcement’s investigation,” the district said. “As we received further information about this case today, we shared with Quist parents the name of the defendant and the charges brought against her.”

with previous learning. “We learned so much about education and students, and if anyone ever doubted the necessity for educating the whole child that pandemic threw us into understanding it’s the social and emotional part, as well as the academic part. They both go together and are so essential,” Stinger said. It was a learning experience about integrating and personal learning combined with online learning. She found her teachers weren’t trained as well with the online learning, so Stringer helped them plan even as her fall of 2020 retirement drew closer. The person they hired to replace Stringer, Dr. Scott Richardson who came from the charter school Stargate, was knowledgeable with online learning.

“We were able to transition and plan together at Eagle Ridge. My assistant principal Kelsey Kreager, who is still assistant principal, and our Dean of Students Zack Henning made decisions on what was good for the students. We also had a board that three of its members had experience in the education system,” said Stringer. It was a joint effort Stringer, staff, and the board learned how to meet the needs of the students. Stringer said, “It wasn’t just

academics, but it was checking up and calling them at home, working with the district so they could get free lunches, making sure they had a laptop or a Chromebook and Internet access.” Stringer retired to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and keeps busy working as a substitute teacher, being more involved with mentoring students and volunteers at the animal shelter. The bucket list incudes travel to Greece, Italy, and Vancouver once it’s safe to travel.

New connections, new information lead to new opportunities

n business as in life, sometimes we approach situations and people strategically, and other times we recognize opportunistic moments. When that happens, we try and capitalize on those times when fortune seems to smile down upon us. It reminds me about the question, “Would you rather be lucky or good?” And the appropriate answer is always, “I want to be both, lucky and good.” As much as these past two years have taken many of us out of our rhythm when it comes to seeing or meeting people, it has also created incredible opportunities to be opportunistic and strategic and to connect with more people than ever before. Social media platforms make it really easy to find people and begin new relationships, both personally and professionally. And virtual meeting technology continues to improve, making it feel like we are actually in the same room with the person we are meeting with virtually. One reality of the virtual world we live and work in is fatigue. Many of us spend our entire days on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, Google Hangout, or other such platform. In a future column I will share some tips and

techniques for avoiding burnout and fatigue. For now, I would share that if we can get comfortable with using these platforms coupled with the technologies and sites that allow us to make new connections and receive new information, it creates an environment for new

opportunities. Some of the businesses that I work with have shared that these past two years turned out to be the best years they have ever had in business. The salespeople on their teams figured out how to maximize all available resources and technology to find new prospects, build better and deeper relationships with customers, leverage data and insights based on the readily available access to information, and all of that helped them to find more opportunities to not only win more customers, but to serve their customers in such a way that it created raving fans. And although we all are aware of

what is being referred to as the “Great Resignation,” we are all probably aware of the job market that has an abundance of openings and opportunities. Many of you have reached out and shared some of your own success stories about connecting with people you had not known before, learning about companies you had never considered, and landing new positions in a role that you really wanted. New connections and new information led you to new opportunities. In my industry, training and development and motivational speaking, conducting sessions virtually was already happening pre-pandemic. And when the pandemic hit, some companies and speakers were well equipped to move meetings and training sessions to virtual platforms. Others had to catch up. But now two years later, we are finding that leveraging the power of technology and virtual training environments has improved the effectiveness of the training and transfer of knowledge. Additionally, the new people, departments, and teams we can connect with has made it easier to share information across an organization and created new opportunities for learning that was

otherwise unavailable in the past. Here we are in another Valentine’s Day week. Romance is in the air. How many couples have met by making new connections online, were introduced to someone through an online platform or service, had the ability to learn more about the other person to see if they were compatible, and created opportunities to get to know one another better? I know several couples in my own circle who have benefited from this level of connection, information, and opportunity. Are you making the most of your new connections and access to information? Have you noticed an increase in opportunities that have popped up for you, your family, or your friends over these past two years? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can harness the power of being lucky and good along with connection, information, and opportunity, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Achieving a more equitable, accountable and effective behavioral health system

gazed out the window at the snowcovered peaks and patchwork fields below as my plane approached the tarmac at Denver International Airport. Wheels down at last. I had arrived at my new home–a brilliant blue sky overhead and blinding snow as far as the eye could see. It is hard to wrap my mind around how such a majestic place can also possess one of the country’s highest rates of suicide and prevalence of mental health challenges. My mission? Harness the momentum that has driven an unprecedented two-year planning effort to bring about transformational change in Colorado’s behavioral health system so that it truly and compassionately puts people first. I am humbled that Governor Jared Polis has appointed me to serve as Colorado’s first Behavioral Health Commissioner to lead the new Behavioral Health Administration (BHA), which we will launch by July. This clinically trained mental health and addiction treatment practitioner has come to Colorado at an urgent and exciting moment. We are on the verge of making history and have a

Council meetings will be inclusive and accessible, held in different parts of the state, with attendance and input widely encouraged and sought out. In the same vein, I am proud that the BHA’s first official action has been to sponsor five individuals to participate in the College for Behavioral Health Leadership’s Equity-Grounded Leadership Fellow Program pilot this spring. The program’s goal is to empower and equip leaders to take bold action to unravel systemic racism and create equitable behavioral health systems in their communities.

When I worked as an emergency department psychiatrist in Boston, I saw first hand how the scarcity of behavioral health treatment options in the community and the stigma of seeking support can result in our family, friends, and neighbors landing in some of their darkest moments.

Vigil opts to stick with wrestling, earns second state tourney berth Alvarado, Peterson, Porta, Villalobos heading to state, too BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ane’e Vigil has seen a considerable amount of wrestling success during his two years at Prairie View High School. He won a state title a year ago. He’s been at or near the top of the On the Mat Magazine’s rankings for 113-pounders this season. But as the saying goes, things are seldom what they seem. “At one point, I didn’t want to wrestle,” Vigil said. “I let the pressure get to me. I got talked to, mostly my

coaches and my dad. They were telling me if I quit, I was going to regret it for the rest of my life. I stuck with it. Now, I feel better than ever. I’m back to my normal self.” Vigil (32-3 this season) pinned Monarch’s Noah Pearson in 2:21 of the semifinals. “He was being aggressive, coming really high,” Vigil said after clinching a spot in the state 5A tournament. “I used my fakes to get him to step. Then I’d snap and go behind him. On top, he was not really heavy on his hands. So I was able to get heavy on his hands and work a bar. I saw he was flat, so I opened up a cradle and got him on his back.” Vigil, who wound up second in his weight class, said it’s not hard to keep all those things in mind as he competes. “It’s muscle memory,” he said. “I

remember from practice, all the practices. Those are my strengths.” Josiah Alvarado qualified for his third state tournament after earning a 9-3 decision over Fountain-Fort Carson’s Nathanial Higgins at 120 pounds. “I just stayed in position,” he said. “I was keeping my head in a good position, letting him make mistakes. I’ve been doing this since I was 3, so it’s muscle memory by now. It’s always tough. I always use those. It keeps me in the match.” Alvarado, who took second at his weight, is a senior. “It gives me an advantage. I have more strength and knowledge,” he said. “I would tell the younger teammates to focus and remember what you’re there for.” Alvarado sports a record of 30-5. “I was able to keep him down. He wasn’t able to score on me, other than

the points I gave him,” Alvarado said. “I was doing what I do best, riding him out.” Prairie View’s state-qualifying contingent includes Nolan Peterson, who finished third at 106 pounds; Bryson Porta won the 170-pound regional title in overtime over Columbine’s Darrel Miller 2-1 at 170 pounds. Lukas Villalobos finished second at 220 pounds. Donovan Archuleta was sixth at 126 pounds. Vincent Klabon was sixth at 132 pounds. Jonathan Rea wound up sixth at 138 pounds, and Vahn Williams was sixth at 152 pounds. Benjamin Nichols recorded another sixth-place finish for the ThunderHawks, this time at 160 pounds. Tyler Schow finished fifth at 195 pounds. Christopher Parks finished fifth at 285 pounds. The ThunderHawks were third in the team standings.

Ravens’ streak of tough losses continues BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Riverdale Ridge boys basketball coach Byron Gray hopes his team’s recent stretch straightens out in time for the postseason next week. The Ravens lost in overtime to Frederick, lost in the last seconds to Thompson Valley and lost in overtime to Silver Creek Feb. 10. The final was 86-79 in the first round of a cross-over tournament between the Northern Colorado Athletic Conference and the Longs Peak League. Ryan Leopold had his way inside against Silver Creek. He led the Ravens with 24 points. Marcus Hinh added 15, Anthony Chavez scored 11, and Mj Nuce contributed 10. Andrew Scott led the Raptors with 25 points. Tanner Call had 22, and Jackson Gallagher scored 13 before an injury ended his evening in overtime. The Ravens had an 11-point lead at halftime against the Raptors, saw it vanish and still held the 11-point lead going into the fourth quarter. A series of turnovers led to a dozen Raptors’ points. RRHS rallied from a five-point deficit in the last minute, though. Chavez nailed a 3-pointer from the top

of the key as time ran out to send the game into overtime. The two teams played the first half of the extra session on even terms. But a Ravens’ mistake was all Silver Creek needed to take charge. Call made the eventual game-winning basket with 1:24 left in overtime. He also converted four free throws in the last 50 seconds. “The pressure got to us at the end,” Gray said. “ We stopped doing the stuff we were really successful with in the first half. We fought back. That was the good part. In overtime, we have to be better. These are the lessons we have to learn on the way to the playoffs.” Three players on the Ravens’ rosters are sophomores. Four others are juniors. “We’re just young. A lot of them have never been here. That’s big,” Gray said. “We had a double-digit lead going into the fourth quarter. Maybe they were tired, fatigued on the road. We have to learn our lessons. That’s the bottom line.” Tournament play continues this week. Opponents and start times were not available at press time. The state 4A tournament begins next week.

“I liked the grit that we had in the first half. Everything we talked about in the pregame, we did it,” Gray said. “We came out in the second half, lost focus and let them back in the game. Then we came back again. We just

have to finish. That’s a lesson we have to learn as a young squad. I’m not worried about it. You lose this game? It’s hard. We’ve had three tough games in a row. You’ve got to learn those lessons on the way to being great.”

Baseball: Brighton’s Stricklin casts his lot with South Mountain BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton High School’s Brandon Stricklin wants to give up four distinct weather seasons – sometimes all in one day – for something a little more consistent. And warmer. Stricklin chose to attend South Mountain Community College in Phoenix. He’ll sign the letter of intent later in the spring. “I chose South Mountain because of the community they have started and how strong of a program with them,” he said. “It was also easy because of the

super senior classes as well going into college.” He was able to visit the school, meet his new teammates and his new coaching staff. “I had multiple schools that were interested,” Stricklin said. “I had plenty of different offers from all different schools.” BHS was 11-7 last spring and advanced to the second round of the state 5A playoffs. In those 18 games, Stricklin batted .351 with five home runs and 19 RBIs. Eleven of his 20 hits were for extra bases. “No, the distance from home isn’t an issue, because I travel a lot during the

fall and summer for baseball for years now,” Stricklin said. “I would like to see where my baseball career takes me and see where my engineering also takes me as well after college.” Recruiting is stressful in the best of times. For a lot of high-school athletes, the recruiting process has been weird, at best, the last two years. “Recruiting during the pandemic was, for sure, challenging with sending emails and videos to colleges and coaches instead of them physically being able to see you in person,” Stricklin said. “It was also really good to stay in contact with all of them because it was all online and it was a great experience.” Brandon Stricklin
