ENLARGEGlenwood's Travis Whitman and Rifle's Ty Bergeron fight for the ball during a game in Glenwood on Oct. 11. Whitman, a sophomore on the team, was selected to the second team of the All-Western Colorado Sportswriters Boys Soccer Team.

Ten Western Slope high schools ranging geographically from Durango to Steamboat Springs are represented among the 22 players chosen by a panel of area sportswriters based in the region.

Glenwood Springs' forward Travis Whitman, who earned a spot on the second team, was one of three sophomores to make the squad and the only area player. Whitman played most of his time at forward in the Demons' 6-9-1 season and was a key piece in Glenwood making it to the first round of the playoffs.
Whitman's best games came against Palisade when the sophomore netted a hat trick in the Demons' 7-2 win and against Steamboat Springs when he scored a goal 20 seconds into overtime to give the Demons a 2-1 victory.
Cope, in his 14th season as Battle Mountain's head coach, led the Huskies to their fourth straight Class 4A Western Slope League title and second consecutive appearance in second round 4A state playoff game.
