  • Diggers’ return is icing on the...

    “BOOM.” It’s what’s written on the back of the Clear Creek Lady Golddiggers’ volleyball team’s warm-up shirts. It’s also the sound they make as they explode away from their huddle after a kill. But it was the Fort Lupton Lady Blue Devils who were downright dynamite on Oct. 25 when they defeated the Diggers at home 25-17, 26-24, 22-25, 24-26, 15-10.

  • Miscues, injuries add up for CCHS

    IDAHO SPRINGS — Whether it was Clear Creek’s miscommunication on offense or the injuries adding up or just the smash-mouth brand of football Front Range Christian played, it all added up to the same result.

    Clear Creek turned the ball over six times — five times in the first half — and Front Range Christian’s Tanner Matoaba rushed for two touchdowns in the Falcons’ 27-7 victory Oct. 19 at Golddigger Stadium.

    “We’re still having movement from west to east down the I-70 corridor. Pockets are still showing up here and there,” Zimlinghaus said.

    For the Courant

    LAKEWOOD — Two possessions for Jefferson, two turnovers forced by Clear Creek and two scores later the Golddiggers couldn’t have asked for a better start.
