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)

Catcher Dexter Wenger ’22 crouches as the Varsity team reacts to a hit from the RMHS Lobos at Coors Field June 8. In the 5th inning, the game neared a tie and the tensions were heightened. “I have played for nine years and plan to continue playing until I’m told to stop,” Wenger said. “As a catcher, being able to command the game is thrilling.”
June 16, 2021
With bluebird skies and soaring temperatures nearing 100 ℉, the morning of June 8 was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the Rock Canyon Varsity Baseball team. This year, the team had been selected as one of the honorary Colorado high schools to play a game on Coors Field.
“The experience at Coors Field was amazing. It was really cool to play on the field I always grew up watching, and play where the pros have played,” 2nd and 3rd baseman Eric Hagner ‘23 said. “I’ll never forget it.”
The boys played about a two-hour game against the Lobos of Rocky Mountain High School and lost 8-3. Family, friends, and fans alike received free admission to front row seats, and many younger baseball players from RCHS came to support the team as well.
Players had the opportunity to explore the stands, dugout, and field to a further extent.
“From the field to the stadium, playing at Coors Field was overall just a great experience,” shortstop Chase Jaworsky ‘23 said. “I’ve been playing baseball for 11 years and I want to play as long as I can.”
