![On Oct. 30, 24 Eco Club members took a tour of the school’s solar panels on the roof. They were guided and taught by an employee from E Light Electric, the company that maintains the school’s solar panels, and learned about how the panels are maintained and cared for. “I was definitely very excited about being on the roof in general,” Eco Club member Olivia Fang ‘26 said. “[It was exciting to] learn more about solar panels and how they work and how they supply energy to our school.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/RCH_2632-1200x800.jpg)

During snowstorms, drivers have poor visibility, and frozen roads make it difficult to stay in control. “Driving home from Denver [on Friday], the neighborhoods weren’t plowed. By the time we got back they were only plowing highways. We spun out, nearly got stuck and fishtailed a few different times,” Connor Pugh ‘26 said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Untitled_Artwork-e1732045465987.jpg)

During Senior Night, seniors were given flowers and the opportunity to walk out and take pictures with their family as their future plans and favorite memories were announced over the speakers. The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)

The last game.
Heading into the final regular-season game of the year, the Jags prepared to face off against the first-ranked school in MaxPreps’s 5A/4A Continental Soccer Standings: Legend High School. Scheduled for Echo Park Stadium Oct. 17, the game was also Senior Night.
Before the game, the team honored nine seniors by sharing favorite memories, taking pictures with family and giving them flowers. After celebrations and the national anthem, players took to the pitch.
The game resulted in a 5-0 W for the Jags.
“[The game] meant a lot because it was a deciding factor in what seed we get in playoffs. It’s pretty sad that it’s my last year playing high school,” center back Owen Creeden ‘24 said. “[My favorite memory] was beating Cherry Creek last year. But, now it’s beating Legend 5-0 on Senior Night.”
With regular season games completed, Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) released the brackets for State Playoffs. The Jags were placed as seed 17, with their first Playoff game scheduled against seed 16, Liberty High School at D20 Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 25.
The final score was 1-0 L, ending the season for the Jags, who left with a win-loss-tie record of 7-6-3.
