Making a splash

By ANDY BOCKELMANM2 WRITER

There must be something in the water at the Moffat County High School swimming pool.

While there are only eight boys on her squad this year, coach Meghan Francone said what the roster lacks in quantity is more than made up for in quality.

“We’re known for always bringing our A game, and we may not have big numbers, but we definitely have the heart,” she said.

Francone said the new additions to the team have been a “wonder-ful asset” to returning swimmers like senior John Kirk, junior Matt Hulstine and sophomore Colter Tegtman, each of whom qualified for state last season.

“We graduated a lot of boys last

year, but I’m glad to have them back,” she said of the returning swimmers.

As the only senior in the pool this year, Kirk serves in a leadership role.

“I’ve been captain before, so I’ll be taking it up again,” he said. “It’s mostly helping the younger guys work on their strokes, and I’ve been doing this for long enough that I can help them accomplish it. We’ve got some younger guys who are doing well and a kid from Steamboat who’s going to be really strong.

“Overall, it’s going to be a building year, but it should be good,”

Kirk qualified in multiple relay events last season, including both the 200- and 400-yard freestyle.

“We didn’t finish that well last year, but I think if we really put our hearts into it, we can do better

this year,” he said. “I’ve been doing weight-training and cardio.”

Tegtman has also put special prep-aration in for this season. A shoulder injury last year prevented him from being at the top of his game.

“We’re still getting cleaned up and ready for the season,” he said. “I’d definitely like to improve on my times, and just make sure my shoul-der doesn’t hold me back. John’s really good as a leader and getting everyone to follow his example. He’s

just a good role model.”Tegtman said that while he always

strives to be at his best in the water, his main concern is more relaxed.

“I swim solely for fun,” he said. “It’s always a plus to place well, but I do it for fun.”

The team won’t swim at home competitively until May, when

the MCHS Invitational will bring teams from locations like Montrose, Glenwood Springs and Gunnison.

“We’ve never had this many teams come to us before, so I’m very excit-ed about that,” Francone said.

“I hear other coaches complain about problems within their team and I just can’t complain because I

have a very tight group,” she said. “We spend a lot of time in the pool

and on the road together, so we have to be close.”

In May 2011, Moffat County High School golfer Caitlin Harjes was in a sudden death playoff at regionals in Battlement Mesa.

A freshman at the time, Harjes was competing against a girl from Gunnison High School.

A trip to the state tournament at Elmwood Golf Course in Pueblo was on the line.

“I went to regionals and I did not do well during the playoff,” Harjes said. “I was freaking out that every-one was staring at me.”

Despite the nerves, Harjes guided her drive down the fairway.

Ann Marie Roberts, going into her 10th year as MCHS girls golf coach, met Harjes at her ball.

With her freshman safely in the fairway, Roberts walked off to help MCHS senior at the time, Nike

Cleverly, who was also involved in a playoff on the adjacent hole.

Harjes was instructed not to take her next shot until Roberts returned.

Harjes did as she was told, until the Gunnison coach pressured her to hurry up.

“The other coach came up to me and told me to go ahead and get ready,” Harjes said. “I told her I was waiting for my coach, but she pushed me to a point that I ended up hitting my ball and it went the wrong way.”

When Roberts returned she was livid.

“I was so mad about that, I couldn’t believe it,” Roberts said. “It was a really poor example of sportsman-ship.”

Harjes was unable to salvage the hole. She lost the playoff and an opportunity to compete at state.

But Harjes doesn’t dwell on how the 2011 season ended. She’s chalked

it up as a learning experience and something to build off of going into the 2012 season.

“It was a sad moment for me, but I think the playoffs taught me a lot about golf and how to handle those situations,” Harjes said.

When asked how she would con-duct herself when faced with similar circumstances in the future, Harjes replied, “don’t listen to other coach-

es, stand my ground and wait for my coach.”

Now a 15-year-old sophomore, Harjes finds herself in a unique leadership role as one of only two returning players.

In addition to building off her best score of last season — an 85 at Cobble Creek Golf Course in Montrose — and aspirations of com-peting at state, Harjes said her goal

is to build strong bonds with a slate of newcomers, the same way return-ing senior Sam Fox brought her into the fold year.

“I kind of get to be that senior because I’ve been there before and know the rulings and things. It also

makes me aware that I don’t want to shut those girls out because I knew how hard it was for me last year,” Harjes said. “Sam did a good job of bringing me in and now I feel like it’s my turn.”

In February, after just two days of practice, Roberts said the team was gelling faster than her teams in the past.

“Being a small team they’re really a tight-knit group,” Roberts said. “I think we have the potential to do really well this year based on what I know is out there and the improve-ment I’ve seen in just two days.”

Where Harjes is focused on build-ing a positive team atmosphere, lone returning senior Sam Fox, 17, knows it’s up to her to set the tone on the links.

Fox broke 100 a few times last season, which was one of her main goals, and competed in the state tournament.

The lessons she learned playing on high school golf’s top stage were indispensable, Fox said.

“State was really fun,” Fox said. “I enjoyed playing a course I had never

played before and seeing how other people, like from the (Front Range), play.

“I feel like I have a good advantage going into this season and its nice to have everyone else look up to me.”

Fox plans to make 2012 her best season because it’s her last at MCHS. She’s set high expectations for her-self and hopes to consistently card rounds in the high 80s.

With her most seasoned player dedicated to such a high level of play, Roberts is confident her young-er players will follow Fox’s lead.

She expects to be a serious con-tender in May when the team travels to Dos Rios Golf Club in Gunnison for the 4A regional tournament.

“We won it in 2010 and could have taken the trophy home last year,” Roberts said. “We won all of our matches but one. The match we lost was to a girl who was on a totally different level. She was 13 strokes lower than the rest of the field, and we just couldn’t make up the points.”

Although her two freshmen are new to competitive golf, Katie Rice, 14, and Katelyn Peroulis, 15, have

taken private lessons from Roberts in the past.

Because of their previous relation-ships with their coach, neither Rice nor Peroulis are bashful about what they want to accomplish in their rookie seasons.

“I want to shoot low scores and go to state,” Rice said. “That would be so cool.”

“So do I,” Peroulis added. “Going to state my first year would be awe-some.”

David Dempster takes a look around the comfortable living area in the Craig house he and wife Julie have called home for 11 years.

“We will definitely miss this place,” he says.

He’s not the first to say those words. He’s not the first to realize a chapter in life closes even as another begins.

Yet, the words are apt.On the wall near him hang photos

of he and Julie and their two chil-dren, Brynnae, 14, and Ethan, 11, who were born and raised in Craig.

The walls of their home — which Julie has repainted more than once — speak to the life they’ve created here in Moffat County.

Tomorrow, Julie will cull garage sale items from the belongings they’ve collected in the nearly 15 years they’ve lived in Craig.

A few days later, David will be on his way to Mankato, Minn., and a new job as senior vice president of United Prairie Bank.

But right now, on this early March day, they are content to look back.

David, 43, talks about his career at Bank of Colorado in Craig, where he worked his way through the ranks from lender to branch president.

Julie, 38, talks about trying her hand at an assortment of jobs in Craig, the last as a substitute teacher for the Moffat County School District.

They both talk about their volun-teer work — David was an active member of the Craig Kiwanis Club, while Julie was media liaison for the Craig Concert Association.

And they talk about the people they will leave behind.

Ties that bind

fILE phoToDaviD anD Julie Dempster, pictureD here in December 2011, came to Craig nearly 15 years ago. they and their children — Brynnae, 14, and ethan, 11 — are leaving for Mankato, Minn., but not without fond memories of the friendships they made in Craig.

bridget manley/m2Julie and david dempster, center, pause for a photo with their children Ethan, 11, and Brynnae, 14, in their Craig home. David and Julie moved to Craig nearly 15 years ago and are embarking on a new chapter in life in Mankato, Minn., where David has accepted a position as senior vice president of United Prairie Bank.

They remember the Bunco games with friends, the casual conversations in the gro-cery store that blossomed into friendships, and the way the community shaped them.

“We’ve really grown and evolved as individuals and as a family here,” Julie says with tears in her eyes.

The relationships they built here “real-ly formed, I think, who we are as people,” she said.

When David and Julie moved to Craig on Memorial Day weekend in 1997, their first child was on the way and they were far from their families.

In the absence of family, they found a community that welcomed them with open arms, they said.

“The people that we’ve gotten close to have been definitely … extended family for us,” David said.

As new parents, they found support, encouragement and no shortage of neigh-bors and friends willing to help.

“Everybody says, ‘Call me if you need something,’” Julie said. “You just don’t know how comforting that is.”

Their move to Mankato will be gradual — Julie will stay behind with Brynnae and Ethan until the school year ends — and it will eventually lead them back to a place where family isn’t far.

But, in this moment, David and Julie are content to reflect on their adopted family of friends and neighbors here in Craig.

David won’t be the first to say the words, but they too seem apt, convey-ing in simple terms the bonds that have woven their lives together with the life of a community.

“Over the years, we’ve gotten to know … a lot of good people,” he says. “That makes it very hard to leave, for sure.”

Bridget Manley can be reached at 875-1793 or [email protected].

David and Julie Dempster and their two chil-dren, Brynnae, 14, and Ethan, 11, expressed their gratitude to the community in a letter published in the March 2 Craig Daily Press. The full text of the letter, meant for their many friends in the community, is included below:We tried to let as many people as possible

know about this in person, but we learned how fast news can travel in Craig.We are moving to Minnesota.It was a monstrous decision, and not in one

bit made lightly by the four of us. We looked at it from every angle possible over and over, and made lists of pros and cons, but the answer kept coming back the same.It’s the kind of opportunity we’ll forever

regret if we pass it up.What was evident right away and what will

be the reason for us driving away with lead in our hearts is that we will never, ever be able to replace all of the wonderful people who have been a part of our lives the past 15 years. David and I came here as kids, really. Fresh

out of college and hours away from our own family, we brought babies into the world here.We have worked alongside you and

explored the county’s vast landscapes with you. You have taken care of us and made us a part of your own families. We have grown into who we are today in this town because of you.Craig is very far removed from what other

people take for granted. Some of us like that aspect of living here while others don’t. Craig makes people tough, resilient, resourceful and proud.And that makes this town unique in one

undeniable way: no matter what, every single person here relies on one another. No one is faceless. The person you crashed carts with at the grocery store you will see again, sooner or later, I promise.So yes, after slowly sinking into the com-

fortable familiarity of all your faces, we must let go. We must learn to find our way around a new town, landscape, and people.But you will forever be with us. We have

grown up in our time here, and every single one of you have helped make us who we are today.We can’t thank you enough.

— David, Julie, Brynnae and Ethan Dempster

joe moylan/m2A CrAig resident poses A question to Tisha Casida, an Independent candidate running for Colorado’s Third Congressional District, during a March 1 meeting of the Bears Ears Tea Party Patriots at The Center of Craig, 601 Yampa Ave. The local chapter is a grassroots group focused on educating local residents on candidates and issues facing the nation.

By joe moylanM2 wrITEr

There’s an old adage — don’t believe everything you read or hear.

Yet news reporters and anchors have continually reported the demise of the national tea party movement, portray-ing organization members and chap-ters around the country as being little more than gun-toting, conservative extremists from the far radical right.

This isn’t the impression one gets when sitting down and discussing pol-itics and political views with members from the Craig tea party chapter — the Bears Ears Tea Party Patriots. Most members go against the grain of negative stereotypes.

“There’s a huge misunderstanding of what the tea party is all about,” said Carol Haskins, a Bears Ears chapter member. “People think we are all a

bunch of radicals, but we have worked really hard to build a reputation in this community.

“We’re just concerned and pretty well informed citizens that want other people to be informed so they can make educated decisions on candi-dates and the issues facing our coun-try.”

Although it shares a loose affilia-tion with the national party and other chapters around the region, state and country, Bears Ears is not an official organization.

The local group has never filed paperwork with state or federal gov-ernments. It does not elect officers, collect dues, or operate a budget. You’re not likely to find a roster of active members of the political group, either.

Bears Ears is a grassroots move-ment, Haskins said.

The group, which was founded in 2007, hosts monthly meetings at The Center of Craig, 601 Yampa Ave. Meetings generally begin with a read-ing of an amendment to the U.S. Constitution and also generally fea-ture at least one guest speaker.

In its infancy, the local tea party experienced rapid growth and was

widely supported.But, a decision to publicly support

certain candidates during the 2010 midterm elections caused a rift in the group’s membership and a number of once dedicated members walked away.

Remaining members said they learned from the mistake and the group now prides itself as being unaf-filiated from any political party.

“We’re not Democrats and we’re not Republicans,” said Matt Winey, by most accounts the unofficial leader of the Bears Ears Tea Party Patriots. “We’re just concerned citizens that believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility and Constitutionally-based government decisions.”

Although the group discontinued its policy of endorsing candidates, it continues to engage in the vetting, or public evaluation, of people vying

Would the Founding Fathers recognize today’s U.S. government? Would those who lived in the 13 states that ratified the U.S. Constitution?I’ve become a better student of American history

since the 2008 national elections than I was during my high school years, and my answer to these questions is a resounding NO.To explain my answer, I

think it’s necessary to see what the American mind was like that caused us to declare our independence from the British, fight the Revolutionary War, and come

up with the form of government they did.The form of government they came up with had

to support the words and statements that were contained in the Declaration of Independence.I believe, as you study the grievances Americans

of that time period had against the British, you will see a British government similar in many ways to the government we have now. Our Founding Fathers opposed this form of government so vehe-mently they were willing to lose life and property and go to war against it.Here are a few grievances from the Declaration

of Independence and perhaps their modern day equivalents:• He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of

immediate and pressing importance, unless sus-pended in their operation till his ascent should be

obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. (AZ immigration laws)• He has called together legislative bodies at

places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. (Obama Care)• He has dissolved representative houses repeat-

edly, for opposing with manly firmness his inva-sions on the rights of the people. (Agenda 21 and the Environmental Protection Agency)• He has erected a multitude of new offices, and

sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. (Czars)• He has combined with others to subject us to a

jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unac-knowledged by our laws; giving his ascent to their acts of pretended Legislation. (United Nations)• For imposing taxes on us without our consent.

(When more paper money is printed, the value of each dollar goes down, in effect the same as a tax to pay our enormous national debt.)Thankfully, times are different from when America

went to war against the British. We indeed have the right to vote given to us by

our Founding Fathers. But, I believe our country is at a crossroads. Are we going to try and gain back the form of

government the Founding Fathers created, or will we keep progressing into a form of slavery that was detested by them?

America at a crossroads

for office. In this regard, the group is perhaps Moffat County’s most active, exceeding or at least match-ing both the local Republican and Democratic parties.

In February, the organization hosted an open forum featuring all five candidates campaigning for the Moffat County Commission’s District 1 and District 2 seats.

More recently, the tea party hosted Tisha Casida, an Independent can-didate running for Colorado’s Third Congressional District seat, and Ron Roesener, a Republican candidate vying for Colorado House District 57.

A slate of candidates are also scheduled to make appearances before the group in coming weeks, including District 8 State Sen. Jean White, R-Hayden; HD 57 Rep. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs; and Bob Rankin, Republican candidate running to replace Baumgardner in HD 57.

Winey said the group has also extended invitations to CD 3 Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Colo., and his Democratic opponent, Sal Pace.

“It goes back to our philosophy of trying to be welcoming of peo-ple and candidates of all views and political affiliations,” Haskins said. “Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings.”

“And we don’t have any delu-sions, either,” added Rick Barnes, a Republican candidate for the county commission’s District 2 seat and a tea party member. “We realize we may be wrong about some things, but the only way you can come to a reasonable decision is by listening to all sides.”

Barnes is credited by many as being the Founding Father, of sorts, of the local tea party. He organized the first Bears Ears Tea Party Patriots rally with his wife, Tami, in front of the Moffat County Courthouse on Tax Day in 2007.

Many chapters around the country, including Bears Ears, continue to organize annual rallies in honor of pre-Revolution colonials who pro-tested King George III’s author-ity to execute a tax on exported British East India Company tea to the colonies, while barring the right of early Americans to duly elect officials to represent them in British Parliament.

Their historic protest of “no taxa-

tion without representation” con-tinues to resonate with tea par-tiers to this day and the Boston Tea Party is credited with initi-ating the convention of the First Continental Congress, the American Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, and ultimately the U.S. Constitution.

Today, tea party members are unit-ed by a the common theme of “take our country back.”

Although the interpretation of that theme varies from chapter to chapter, for Bears Ears members it simply means returning to ideals defined in the nation’s two found-ing documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

“The Constitution is the foundation of this country,” said Dave Haskins, a Craig resident and tea party mem-ber. “We’re literal Constitutionalists. Our feeling is the Constitution is what made America great and it is still pertinent today.”

JOSHUA GORDON/M2CARLOS MALDONADO, a Moffat County High School senior, will try to help lead a young MCHS varsity baseball squad back to the playoffs this season. Maldonado said he thinks his offseason training will pay dividends this year as he moves to shortstop.

Big shoes to fill

By JOSHUA GORDONM2 WRITER

The Moffat County High School varsity baseball team’s trip to the 4A state playoffs last season was no fluke.

Four seniors, including 4A Western Slope League co-player of the year Ben Williams, anchored the team.

The Bulldogs scored double-digit runs in six games and routinely saw the ball fly out of the park at the hands of multiple batters.

But this season, head coach Justin Folley said how his players fill the roles of the four departed seniors will determine if the Bulldogs make it back to the playoffs.

Williams and Dylon Camilletti were named to the WSL first team

last season and Graig Medvesk was an honorable mention.

Kulen Turner routinely made big plays both offensively and defensively.

Folley, who is entering his third

year as skipper of the Bulldogs, said it would be up to seniors Carlos Maldonado and Ivan Nielsen, as well as junior Bubba Ivers, to push the team to perform.

“It is going to take a lot of hard work and patience to get back to the play-offs,” he said. “Last year was a good season, but I don’t want the guys to think the playoffs are guaranteed. We are going to have to work hard with the young group so they can help us get back in.”

Ivers was also named to the WSL first team last season and Maldonado garnered an honorable mention selection.

Maldonado said the first order of business is to get younger players ready to contribute.

“We are going to have to help the younger players more with the funda-mentals and just playing the game,” he said. “They need to learn about getting a good angle on the ball in the

coach Justin Folley’s third year at the helm of the Bulldogs. In his first year, Folley led MCHS to five more wins and in his second year helped the

team return to the playoffs.4: The Bulldogs lost four

seniors from last year’s squad — Dylon Camilletti, Kulen Turner, Ben Williams and Graig Medvesk. Williams was named Western Slope League co-player of the year as well as a first-team all-conference player along with Camilletti.

32: After a two-year hiatus, the Bulldogs returned to the playoffs last season as the 32nd and final seed. MCHS struggled at the plate in an 8-0 loss to No. 1 Palmer Ridge.

field and how to read the ball coming off the bat.”

Maldonado will adjust to his role of filling in for the graduated seniors by stepping in for Camilletti on both sides of the plate.

The senior will make the move to shortstop and be the leadoff hitter for the Bulldogs.

Maldonado had to work through a back injury last season, but rarely left the field.

“Carlos is a kid who can play any position on the field because he knows the game that well,” Folley said. “At shortstop, he will be my leader on the field and I have no doubts he can suc-ceed there.

“As leadoff batter, he doesn’t neces-sarily have the speed Dylon had, but I think he will step up and get on base and start us off strong.”

Maldonado said he worked hard in the offseason to get in the right shape to succeed at shortstop.

“As shortstop, I am going to have to take control of the whole baseball dia-mond,” he said. “I think I got faster in the offseason and that is going to help me get to more balls and be able to help teammates.

“I’m ready to do what is needed out there.”

Folley said Nielsen and Ivers can both contribute at the plate as bat-

ters, but their biggest contribution will be stopping opposing batters.

Williams was the Bulldogs’ ace last season, but MCHS also lost its No. 2 pitcher, Hayden junior Mark Doolin, who didn’t return to the team this season.

“Our main concern this season is going to be pitching,” Folley said. “We have Bubba at No. 1 and Ivan at No. 2, but there are some kids here who will compete for those spots as well.”

Folley said he feels Ivers is ready to be the team’s ace, and while Nielsen

didn’t get as much time on the mound last season, the coach believes he is ready for the challenge.

“Ivan worked a lot during the sum-mer trying to develop more of a rou-tine on the mound,” he said. “Coach (Matt) Ray worked with him on build-ing some more stability and the abil-ity to find what works for him when he steps on the mound.”

With such a young squad, Folley said team unity would be a big factor this season.

And, while the team lost some key players, he said he feels the Bulldogs

have the right parts to make it back to the playoffs.

“I think team unity will be big this year and I expect our defense to step it up,” Folley said. “We struggled on defense last year in spots, but we have worked on filling those weaknesses.

“If the guys can push each other to work hard, I think we can be a tough team to beat.”

Alfredo Lebron said he has grown accustomed to the expectations placed upon him.

Lebron, a Moffat County High School senior, was expected to be the top 4A cross-country runner in the fall and in October, fulfilled his goal of a state title.

Now with track and field season here, Lebron again is expected to be the runner to beat in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter races as the top return-ing placer from last year’s state meet.

“I’m not really nervous and I try not to sound cocky, but you get out there with a different mindset that you can do good if you put in the work,” he said. “I know a bunch of people will be going for me, but I will go out there and do what I can do and hopefully that is enough to get an undefeated season.”

Gunning for historyAt last year’s state track meet,

Lebron finished third in the 1,600-meter run and fourth in the 3,200-meter run — each time finishing behind only seniors.

Lebron said winning the state cross-country title has only made him raise expectations he has for himself on the track.

“It feels like I should be able to win track as well because of winning the cross-country state title,” he said. “That is my goal and I don’t want to settle for anything less than winning state because I know I have what it takes.”

A state title, however, isn’t the only thing Lebron will have on his check-list this season.

Last year, he broke the school 800-meter record.

This season, he is after two more individual records in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter races. Clint Wells set both records in 1993.

Lebron’s best times in each race is only a second off the respective

records — 4 minutes, 20 seconds in the 1,600, and 9:33 in the 3,200.

“If I peak at the right time around state, I want to be able to crush those records,” he said. “The records are 18-year-old records so it would be a good feeling that if I got those records, it could be a long time until someone can beat mine.”

Todd Trapp, the girls head coach and distance coach, said the records

are set high, but Lebron has what it takes to knock them off.

“Clint Wells was a very accomplished runner and he ran in the Olympic Trials,” he said. “When I first got here, I wasn’t sure if his records could be broken. He set the standard high at Moffat County with his records, so if Alfredo can break those he will set the standard even higher.”

Return to the topBoth the boys and girls track and

field teams took fourth at last year’s Western Slope League meet.

However, Trapp said he feels both teams have athletes in each event that can make a push toward the front of the pack.

“Both teams have a lot of depth, with a good number of sprinters, jumpers and we basically cover all events,” he said. “I think we have individuals in each event that can succeed.”

Along with Lebron, the boys team returns four other state placers from

last year.Seniors Johnny Landa, Miguel

Molina and Rene Molina competed with Lebron on the 4-by-800-meter relay, taking fifth at state.

This season, Trapp said the relay team would push for a state title.

“All four of these guys are tal-ented and work hard,” he said. “I think they trust each other, so they are able to consistently push each other in workouts and push each other to believe in one another.“If they put in the work, they can achieve their goals.”

Senior Garrett Spears made a run at the end of last season, moving from the 23rd ranked position in shot put before the league meet to placing sixth at state.

Lance Scranton, the boys head coach and throwing coach, said Spears should be in a position this season to place in both shot put and discus.

“Garrett really managed to about perfect his rotation in both shot put and discus,” Scranton said. “He put a lot of time in on his own in the ring and is motivated to do good this season.”

While the girls team lost both of their state qualifiers from a year ago, Trapp said junior Eryn Leonard will be a leader for the team.

“At the end of the cross-country season, I don’t think (Leonard) was where she expected to be,” he said. “Early this season, we want to devel-op her speed by having her run the 400, 800 or mile and speed can be a strength in her races.”

In the end, if both teams want to push for a league title, Trapp said everyone would have to be at their

peak at the league meet in May.“The goal for everyone is to kind of

work into the season and not do too much at the beginning of the year,” he said. “The first month may not be the best performances for everyone, but we want them to perform their

best when it counts at the end of the season.”

By JOSHUA GORDONM2 WRITER

The Moffat County High School girls varsity soccer team has one num-ber in mind this season, and that is five.

With Harry Tripp at the helm the past two seasons, the Bulldogs have won a school-record five games each year.

Not only do Harry and his players want to break the school record, but getting over five wins means the team

can make a push for the playoffs.“We definitely want to make a push

for the playoffs this year, and I think we have the group of girls to do it,” Harry said. “Once we can get the whole team on track, we have a shot at winning games. The girls are friends, so they can work better together on connecting with passes and knowing what each other should be doing.

“This season, we want to break the record.”

The key, Harry said, is going to be the offensive attack.

Led by seniors Kelly Ciesco, Karen Bolton, Frida Meijer and junior Kelsie Pomeroy, Harry said the Bulldogs are going to have to score more goals this season if they hope to win more games.

“We have more power for us in our forwards, and that was something we lacked last year,” he said. “I think we have a strong outside and inside game and we will be able to run the ball down and get some through balls to connect so we can score.

“It really just comes down to scor-

ing more so we can build up our con-fidence early in games.”

Ciesco, who was a captain last sea-son and the only Bulldog player to be named to the Western Slope League all-conference team, said she plans to take on a bigger leadership role this season.

“I want to try and set a positive example for all my team members and make sure we all have the same goal of winning,” she said. “We have less girls this season, but it feels like we are all closer and we have all

played on the same team for years, so I think being very familiar with each other is going to help.”

Harry said it wouldn’t be hard for Ciesco to win over the team as a leader because she always leads by example.

“Kelly is always pushing on the field and she has speed and finesse to take a goalie one-on-one,” he said. “In warm-ups, she is always pushing to the max and all the girls look up to her as a leader, and I think she will fill that role beautifully.”

The Bulldogs also will have to look to fill some voids on the defensive side of the ball with some of the top players graduating last year.

Harry said players like junior Rose Howe will be counted on to step up on defense, but the team will rely a lot on a new goalie, junior Skylar Tripp.

“Skylar got a big confidence boost over the summer at the camps we

attended,” Harry said. “She learned so much at the camp and she took what she was taught and became a more aggressive goalie. She comes out and attacks with the defense to make stops.”

For Ciesco, a trip to the playoffs and more than five wins would be the ultimate prize in her final year, but she said she also has personal goals.

One in particular, Ciesco said, is beating Delta, to whom the Bulldogs fell twice last season.

“We couldn’t beat Delta last year and we were so close,” she said. “I think we have the right chemistry as a team and the right players to have

one of our best seasons yet. And if we can get past Delta, I think we can get to the playoffs.”
