Wrestling

The day after the first home basketball game, our wrestling team had their first duel against long time rivals, Loveland. Each year it goes back and forth, and the trend continued. A 40-35 win over Loveland, gave a perfect start for the Collins wrestlers, especially with all of the injuries we have. Two big injuries, are the Juniors, Jacob Fisher, and Riley McConnell who already have 2 years of varsity experience. These are also two guys that are ranked high in state. The wrestlers have the UNC tournement next week and a duel after Christmas break. It is January 5th against Fossil Ridge! Come support of wrestlers!

Basketball

Tuesday, December 6th our Fort Collins Lambkins played Silver Creek which is a new school located in Longmont. They opened the tournement 1-1  and came close yet again! Throughout the first and mid way through the second, it looked to be a one sided game for Silver Creek. However, they boys came back late and got up by two with about 30 seconds left in the game. Except one of Silver Creeks players threw down a three pointer with short time. Chase Thurgood, came up with the last shot and missed. It was an awesome game, so come out and support them Friday the 9th! Go Lambkins!

Basketball/Wrestling

December 2nd and 3rd the boys basketball team set out to start the season. Both of their games were away, and came up 1-1 through the weekend. It looks like the starting lineup for our lambkins is, Derek Dietrich, Mitchel Yancey, Ryan French, Chase Thurgood, and Austin Hunt! Only two Seniors, and very experienced Juniors. They played Green Mountain Friday night, and lost, by more than 10! However, they bounced back against Prairie View High School and won! So they are headed home this week to play Silver Creek Tuesday the 6th! Also, it looked like our wrestling team had a tourny this week where Devin Dunnum, Aaron Jesser, and Brandon Dunnum took first.

Cross Country

In the month of November the well know cross country girls took 2nd place at state while the guys took 1st! The girls just wrapped up the nike cross regionals down in Arizona where they were victorious. They are headed toward Portland, Oregon for nationals. (Erin Hooker won an idividual title) The boys and girls cross country team finished a geat year, especially with a young team still. I talked to Erin Hooker during math class, and she gave me a well explained reason why they didn't win state. She told me that her and another runner were sick and were thrown off on their pace of running and track of working out. It seemed like the smallest of details could do anything for the running these athletes put up with!

Football

Late October, and early November the football team set out to go against Fossil Ridge and lost, which was a hard breaking game. However, they still went to the playoffs and put up a fight against Columbine who were ranked in the top 5 in state. This ended yet another season in the first round for the Lambkins. The guys ended their regular season at 4-5. and 4-6 to their final record.It was a hash year for football this year, and some of the inexperience, however, look forward to the girls, and guys basketball, along with girls swimming/diving and wrestling for this winter!

Volleball/Soccer/Football

Sorry for the late update, but over Homecoming week, we had a victory against Fossil Ridge for Volleyball. It was an unbelievable game to watch, especially the two game deficit the girls overcame! We had a great showing over in their own house! The same night our soccer team played Fossil too, and had a 1-1 tie! Our Soccer team is one of the best in the state so come support them! To end Homecoming week, we had a dissapointing loss to Rocky for football. It was a close game, and fell to them in overtime. The final score was 16-19. All three, soccer, football, and volleyball play tomorrow, that are all in town! Have fun, we have a three day weekend!

Football

This past Friday night, our football team had a nail biter against Mountain Range. Within the last few seconds the Lambkins scored and went for two to beat them 21-20. It was a big comeback for a victory. One of our main defenseman, Jake Hanks went down with a shoulder injury.Our defense is still strong right now. This brought the Fort Collins Lamkins to a 3-2 record with four games remaining until playoffs. Stay tuned, and come support them at French Feild this Friday October 7th against Poudre around 7:00 pm! Come early to get a good seat, to cheer for the last half of the season.
