Skiers rout Titans

ASPEN, Colorado — Nicky Ufkes ran for 234 yards, eclipsing 2,000 rushing yards for the season, as Aspen routed Coal Ridge, 54-0, on Friday.

“It's truly a humbling feeling,” a beaming Ufkes said afterward, pausing sporadically to exchange hugs with family and teammates. “At the same time, the offensive line did a great job. This has really been a team effort.”

“[Ufkes has] been a warrior all year for us,” said Aspen coach Mike Sirko, whose team clinched a third-consecutive 2A state playoff berth after last week's win in Gunnison. “Pound for pound, he's the strongest kid out there. … It's sweet to have a guy like him [accomplish this feat]. The kids pull for him, and he pulls for them. He's such a hard worker.”

Ufkes, Sirko and the Skiers improved to 8-2 overall with the win in the regular season finale. Coal Ridge finished up its year at 2-8.

Cards can't get past Olathe

OLATHE, Colorado — Grand Valley's season came to an end with a 56-14 loss at Olathe on Friday. The Cardinals needed a win and Basalt to beat Gunnison to be eligible to make the Class 2A playoffs.

Neither happened, as Gunnison edged Basalt, 37-36, to claim third place in the 2A WSL.

Olathe, which hopes to defend its 2008 state title as it embarks on the postseason, improved to 10-0 overall.

The Cardinals ended their season with an 7-3 overall record.
