Dominic Williams drops 30 and drives #7 Lincoln past T.J. (02/05/10)
by MARTY CESARIO
Friday night here on Federal. The gym is dim. The fans are jacked. Denver Prep League hoops happenin!' The home team, Lincoln, is currently ranked 7th in our latest CET Sports poll. Thomas Jefferson is ranked in the top three of any Class 4A list that matters. This... is... serious.
Most of the kids played well. All of them played hard. Two of them excelled. T.J.'s Billy Sprague battled for 25 points, but it was Dominic Williams' 30 point showcase -- including 11 of his team's final 12 -- that shined brightest as the Lancers solved the Spartans, 70-66.

Once again, the annual D'Evelyn-Golden double bill was one seriously rockin' evening of roundball. The girls extended the opener into overtime with D'Evelyn finally winning after giving up a 16 point lead. And that intensity fed right into the fierce competition the guys showcased in the nightcap.
A colorful and pumped-up crowd at Golden High watched the Demons jump ahead on their home court with an early 10 point lead, but the Jaguars blew up the nets with 12 three-pointers -- four each from senior Mark Neely and freshman Luke Stratman -- while senior Alex Bervik piled up points in every way possible as D'Evelyn outscored their Jeffco rivals, 86-79, to stay on top of the league standings.

Dakota Ridge banks a big rivalry win over #8 Chatfield (01/22/10)
by MARTY CESARIO
The Chargers have the been the squad positioned in our Top 10 throughout the season. The Eagles, though, had been on my radar. The Dakota hoopers had 11 wins! But considering Jeffco isn't believed to be strong this season, Dakota's date with neighborhood rival, Chatfield, was the chance to validate that nice record.
Done. Nailed it.
In a tightly contested game at Dakota Rige High, the Eagles pestered their bigger opponents with pesky defense while senior Brandon Wilson's three-point shooting and clutch makes at the free throw line helped his squad take the lead and finish with a 20-9 run in the last seven minutes as Dakota Ridge upset 8th-ranked Chatfield, 51-42.
