BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

DENVER – Eagle Ridge Academy’s boys basketball team ran into a buzzsaw in the semi nals of the state 4A boys basketball tournament March 9.

e Tigers, the No. 17 seed in the tournament, won the game 65-41 and moved to the nals against No. 2 seed Resurrection Christian Saturday, March 9.

Eric Quintana led the Tigers with 16 points. Jaxon Grable tossed in 15, Rocco Bridges had 13, and Gabe Tafoya chipped in with 11.

Peyton Torres led the Warriors with 11 points. James “Kyren” Allen scored nine, and Cameron Seifert contributed eight.

ERA committed 15 turnovers in the rst half. ough the number came down in the second half, the Tigers were well in command by that point.

Opting for balance in Commerce City wards

New COVID-19 restrictions will prohibit indoor dining, personal gatherings

Council approves new Ward map for municipal election, second reading April 6

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Commerce City councilors had a choice to make about the future of their wards and voting districts: should the redrawn wards balance the city’s population as evenly as possible or should they try to follow metro district boundaries within the city?

Councilors opted to balance the population as evenly as possible, even though it splits one metro district down the middle between the new wards 3 and 4, using the Second Creek Open Space as a boundary.

“I actually think east of Second Creek is the ow line,” Councilor Susan Noble said.

A national manufacturer of the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles and wearable battery packs will locate its gigawattscale manufacturing plant in Brighton, at 18875 E. Bromley Lane. e plans for the 775,000-squarefoot facility were announced by the

Adams County’s 14-day test positivity rate was 15.9 percent, as of Nov. 17, according to Tri-County Health Department. Brighton and Commerce City’s test positivity rates were both higher than 13 percent. Forty- ve people in Brighton and 29 in Commerce City have died from COVID-19 related health issues. To limit the spread of COVID-19, at least 15 counties moved to tighter restrictions that prohibits indoor and personal gatherings.

“We need more batteries to power the future, and now we will be manufacturing more of them right here in Colorado. We are excited to welcome Amprius to Colorado, bringing over 300 new good-paying jobs, and joining Colorado’s innovative and collaborative business community,” Polis said in a written statement.

No charges for AdCo deputy in May shooting incident

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

BRIGHTON – District Attorney Brian Mason won’t le charges against an Adams County sheri ’s deputy in connection with a May shooting.

In a letter to Adams County Sheri Gene Clapps, Mason, the district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, said there was “no reasonable likelihood” of proving elements of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. e incident happened early May 24, according to the letter.

City’s population had grown from 45,913 people in 2010 to 62,418 according to the 2020 census. Most of that growth came in the northern part of the city, where Wards 3 and 4 are located.

Commerce City’s four wards are meant to be roughly equal in population — within a 10% di erence of each other, according to the City Charter. Results from the 2020 census show how unbalanced the wards have become since the boundaries were last adjusted in 2013. Gibson said the goal is for each ward to have roughly 15,605 residents.

According to the old con guration, Ward 4, in the far northeastern part of the city, is the most populous, with 21,239 residents, according to the census - 5,634 people above the goal. Ward 2, in the southwestern, has the fewest residents, 12,196. at is 3,409 below the goal.

e 9,043 resident di erence between those two wards represents a nearly 58% discrepancy - far beyond the 10% di erence required by the charter.

e nal maps need to have populations roughly equal to each other - at least within 10 percent. ey also have to balance racial equity.

Both of those are requirements by law, Gibson said, but there are other factors that might not be legally required but are important. ose include compactness, trying to preserve current boundaries as much as possible and protecting communities of interest -- such as neighborhoods and special districts.

Gibson said city sta hosted ve public information sessions in 2022 to nd out what residents wanted and reviewed 11 maps, narrowing those down to ve presented to City Councilors in February. Councilors narrowed it down to two maps at that February meeting and Gibson presented two new versions to councilors based on those maps at the March 6 meeting.

special district

e neighborhoods east of Chambers Road between 104th and 96th avenues were the main di erences between the two ward maps present-

ed March 6.

Plan A, the one councilors ultimately chose, follows Second Creek through the area, dividing the Fronterra Village 2 and Buckley Ranch metro districts between wards 3 and

4. Everything west of Second Creek Open Space would be in Ward 3, and everything east of the creek would be in Ward 4.

at balances the districts’ populations roughly equally, with a statistical deviation of about 5% between the most popular Ward 4 and the least populous Ward 1.

Plan B would have extended Ward 3 east past Second Creek and Reunion Parkway to Tower Road, moving 184

residents from Ward 3 to the already biggest Ward 4.

Either plan satis ed the city’s criteria and is legal, Gibson said.

Councilor Noble said she was open to either option until the meeting Monday night, but looking at the differences convinced her that balancing the wards was the best decision.

“Two hours ago, I could have gone either way, but in looking at it now, I do think east of Second Creek is a good ow line and that folks who live in East Point see themselves as part of that continuous line that goes down Tower Road. ey would be separated from that.”

Councilor Craig Hurst agreed.

“I do think having a de nitive landmark like Second Creek makes it much easier for us to communicate as a city and to call out where the boundaries are going to switch,” he said.

Councilor Oscar Madera said his concern was how future population changes in Commerce City could skew the ward populations more quickly.

“I guess, I’m worried if we have to come back and redistrict again in three years because that deviation expands, based on where growth is happening,” he said. “ at’s why I lean towards Option A to keep that deviation number down.”

Archuleta red his weapon and wounded Jones, who went to an area hospital for treatment of injuries. Charges are pending against Matthew Jones.

Because the case is ongoing, Mason’s letter to AdCo Sheri Gene Clapps did not include all relevant facts, and it said “the record of this investigation will remain restricted from public access” until the end of the criminal proceedings.

energy to start the game. We didn’t run our plays at all, and that is the best way for us to score the ball.”

With the exception of an early rst-quarter lead, ERA played from behind.

“ ey came out with a little more energy,” Torres said. “ ey started hitting shots.

When you fall behind early, it’s hard to dig yourself out of that hole. It’s unfortunate. We didn’t get out of that hole.”

“ ey put a lot of pressure on us, and we didn’t take it well,” added Hunter Hill, who was held to three points. “We have to get to the rim as a team. We didn’t.”

“It snowballed,” hill said. “Shots we normally would make weren’t falling.”

Quintana hit three baskets from long range in the third quarter en route to his 16-point performance.

“If we play together, no one can stop us,” he said. “We’ve played together for so long. We know how to play o each other.”

“We honestly like having

that chip on our shoulder,” said the Tigers’ Rocco Bridges. “It makes us try a little harder. We just have come out here and compete every night and get the win.”

ERA nishes with a mark of 21-6. e Warriors will need to nd replacements for Hill, Torres, Allen Eli Garcia, Daniel Olivas-Rey, Michael Mignogna and Cameron and Christian Seifert.

“It shows we were a good group of seniors,” Hill said. “We played hard. We played as a team.”

“I’m proud of this whole season,” Allen said. “We worked hard this season, and we all wanted the ring this year, too, especially because of the school’s past and how ERA had a losing record ever since they started. It’s good to see how much we have grown from freshmen to now.”

“We have a good culture here,” Torres said. “At one point, we had three wins (in a season). We showed we can build a program. We’re about to graduate, and we’re getting back-to-back 20-win seasons. We care about each other. I only see this program going up from here.”

Hunter Hill of the Warriors sizes up matters against Holy Family’s Grayden Harkness during the semifinals of the state 4A boys basketball tournament March 9 in Denver.

Shongolo, former ACHS athlete, giving back to area

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Adams City High School athlete Liban Shongolo had a pretty good prep career.

In 2017, he played quarterback for the Eagles and threw for more than 1,500 yards and 12 touchdowns. In 2018, Shongolo was a running back who scored three touchdowns and caught one for a score. at was more than enough to get him on the football team at Mesa State University in Grand Junction. In 2021, he recorded 11 tackles and one interception. He earned a spot on the honorablemention squad of the National Football Foundation all-Colorado all-academic squad.

His bio on the Mesa State football web page says he “enjoys bodybuilding and mentoring.” And that’s exactly what he’s doing through Box State Boys, an organization that refers to the state’s shape. Shongolo created the vision, and does the hiring, recruiting and event planning. is year’s annual summer football camp at Adams City High School, 7200 Quebec St., is June 17. More information at https://bsbyouthfootballcamp.wixsite. com/bsb-youth-football-c.

“Summer is a time for student-athletes to develop their game,” Shongolo said. “Personal training is at an all-time high in

the metro area, but not all student-athletes can a ord to attend. I was that student during high school, therefore I wanted to give local young men and women the opportunity to receive elite and individualized training from former Colorado athletes who are now playing collegiate and professional football for absolutely no cost.”

e tradeo is simple.

“In return, we hope our campers leave, equipped and educated enough to compete in the fall with their peers who have had the privilege to attend paid training and camp sessions,” he said.

His rst camp was a year ago.

“ e most rewarding thing I saw at last year’s camp was student-athletes from across the metro area being introduced to techniques/drills/skills that I wish someone took the time to teach me when I was in their position,” Shongolo said. “ e only thing I get out of hosting this camp is a full heart. To inspire, motivate, and teach the future of my community means a great deal to me. I simply want to lend a hand, the same way so many men and women did for me.”

e camp also helped Shongolo learn to be a businessman, a teacher and a coach .. “better preparing me for life after college.”

“We hope to bring out more athletes and receive the support of more local businesses,” Shongolo said.
