Solo golfer represents West at State Tournament
By Joel Marion
Staff Writer
Senior Derek DeNovellis will represent the
Greeley West golf team at the State Tournament
beginning today at 9:24 a.m. He qualified, tying
for fifth place, on September 21st at Regionals with
a score of 75 at Mariana Butte in Loveland.
The other members of the golf team, senior Sev
Stoffel, sophomore Eric LoVell, and Nate Drake (a
junior from University High School), missed the
cut at the tournament. CHSAA only takes twenty
individuals and two teams to state.
DeNovellis described the course at Mariana to
have “the fastest greens all year, (having the) pin
placement being tucked behind bunkers, and the
greens having many ridges so there were hardly
any straight putts.”
Knowing this, DeNovellis had his philosophy

set: he would not go straight for the pins but rather
try to hit the green and settle for a two-putt to get
away with easy pars. “If I made the green and got
a birdie, that was just a bonus,” DeNovellis said.
This year was the first that DeNovellis qualified
for State individually as last year the team qualified.
DeNovellis took his practice round at the
Rolling Hills Country Club in Golden yesterday.
This will give him an opportunity to map out
the course and find obstacles to avoid as well as
determining the speed of the greens. “The practice
round really helps me know which holes I can be
aggressive on,” he said.
He is not content with just qualifying for the
State tournament, though. “Now that I’ve made
it, I’m certainly going to go out and compete,” he
said, “If I just put two rounds together, then maybe
there is a chance (to win the tournament).”
Spartans offense comes up empty
By Jordyn Book

West (1-8) put up a good fight against the cross
town rival, Greeley Central (6-3) on Monday night
before the rain came. Even though Central came
home with the victory 2-0, West put forth great
effort though out the game.
During the second half, West had a good break
away with three minutes left. Aden Sadak was
heading down the field full force to score, but
unfortunately Central’s Antonio Chairez-Salazar,
the junior goal keeper made a dramatic save.
West goal keeper Able Castaneva was on top of
his game and had many great saves. He tried his
best to help his team stop Central from achieving
victory. Joel Hernandez was quick on his feet
and showed great determination and team work
which helped keep the score close at half time.
The Spartans had many great shots against the
Cats. Aden Sadak made it difficult for the Cats, as
he had many great shots against the goal keeper.
With one minute left in the game, West had a
two-on-one shooting opportunity, but the goalie
from Central saved it.
Luke Lordemann wasn’t going to allow Central
to score a goal and picked up a foul inside the box.
This left Greeley Central with a penalty kick that
was kicked in by Tyrus McLachlan from Greeley
Central. This provided the final tally, 2-0.
The Spartans will go for their second win of the
season at home against Frederick on Thursday at
District 6 Stadium.
Multiple injuries add to frustration for struggling football team
By Staff Reports
Thursday, September 20th, the Greeley West
football team faced Niwot. West was able to come
out strong in the first half with a 7-0 lead. However,
the Spartans were unable to hold them, losing 14-
10, due to several injuries.
West’s strong and effective defense took a
beating by the Cougars. Left tackle, Walker Brown,
and right guard rookie, Greg Wall, went unnoticed
while fellow linemen endured pain. Brian Halsey
suffered a season threatening knee injury and Leo
Salcido dislocated his finger. With these injuries,
quarterback Eric Seeley and standout David Eddy
had a hard time running their offense.
”All you can really do is take it and learn from
it. We’re going to do just that. We’re going to work
on a few things this week in practice and be ready
to go for Thompson Valley,” left guard Chris Harris
said. Harris played on a stitched up knee.
