Aspen High School Boys Lacrosse Team Kicks Off Season with a Bang!

This past Saturday, the boys lacrosse team at Aspen High School celebrated a *spectacular* start to their season. On March 11, 2025, they faced off against Eagle Valley, and boy, did they show what they were made of! The final score? A staggering 17-1, showcasing that the Skiers mean business this year.

First Half Frenzy

From the get-go, it was clear that Aspen came prepared to play. The team *raced ahead* right from the whistle, establishing a dominant 9-0 lead by halftime! If you were there, you could feel the energy in the air as fans cheered on their boys, fully aware they were witnessing a *remarkable performance*. It was more than just good play; it was teamwork at its finest as the Skiers executed their game plan with precision.

Eagle Valley’s Lone Bright Spot

While Eagle Valley managed to snag one goal in the early moments of the third quarter, bringing the score to 10-1, it was hardly enough to dampen Aspen’s spirits. The Skiers kept their foot on the gas, finishing the third quarter with a comfortable 14-1 advantage. By the end of the game, it was clear: Aspen High School was *not holding back* this season!

Hailing the Roster

The excitement surrounding this victory isn’t just about a single game; it reflects the *deep talent* within the Aspen roster this year. Coach Tommy Cox is optimistic, noting that the current lineup might just be one of the best he’s seen in a long time. With a healthy mix of seasoned seniors and players who’ve been honing their skills together for years, there’s a lot of confidence in this year’s squad.

Aiming for Postseason Glory

Last spring, the Skiers finished with a respectable record of 9-8 and were hoping to capitalize on that momentum to make a more significant impact in the postseason this year. In 2023, they went 10-6, and even held their own in the Class 4A postseason, defeating Grand Junction before falling to the highly-ranked Cheyenne Mountain team in the second round. Their sights are firmly set on improving their performance from last year and making a *serious* run in the playoffs. With teams like Erie, last year’s 4A champion, to compete against, the challenge is on!

Upcoming Game Plans

Aspen High School is not taking a breather! They are set to host Summit High School, who is currently 0-0, at 6 p.m. on Friday. Fans will surely flock to support their boys and see if they can continue to build on this incredible momentum.

Eagle Valley’s Struggles

Aside from Aspen’s shining moment, it’s worth noting that Eagle Valley is currently 0-2 in the season after also falling to Crested Butte 9-8 in their opener. There’s clearly room for improvement in their game, and they will be looking to bounce back in their next matches.

This Year’s Girls Team Raring to Go

As the boys’ team hits the ground running, the girls lacrosse team at Aspen High School is gearing up for their own season opener. They’ll be facing off against Summit in a home game this Thursday at 6 p.m. Last spring, the girls finished with a solid record of 11-6, and with head coach Kaely Wolf at the helm, they’re eager to hit the field and show off their skills.

With the season just starting, there’s a buzz among the teams, the fans, and the entire Aspen community. It looks like it’s going to be an *exciting* lacrosse season ahead!
