State playoffs wrap-up: Battle Mountain denies Northfield’s bid for a Class 4A boys soccer repeat

The Northfield boys soccer team’s bid for a Class 4A three-peat fell one match short.

Leo Martinez and Cooper Skidmore scored goals in the first and second half, respectively, as Battle Mountain avenged a title-game loss to Northfield last fall with a 2-0 victory for its first state championship in 11 years.

Top-seeded Northfield (19-1) had lost just once — 4-0 at eventual 5A champion Denver East in 2022 — over the past three seasons entering Saturday’s championship match at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs. But the third-seeded Mustangs (18-1-1) shut them out for just the second time since 2021.

3A final — Colorado Academy 3, Coal Ridge 1: Senior Simeon Woldeyohannes scored the go-ahead goal in the 60th minute, Christoff Zimmerman added a score after that, and Colorado Academy (17-1-2) claimed its third state title in four years.

Junior Caleb Mengistu scored the Mustangs’ first goal in the sixth minute. Isaac Thompson knotted the game at 1-all for Coal Ridge (12-5-3) early in the second half before Colorado Academy answered to win its seventh state crown.

2A final — Crested Butte 1, Bishop Machebeuf 0: Sawyer Barney buried a breakaway goal off a feed from Marin Gardner with 25:30 to go as the Titans (14-2-3) claimed their fourth state title. Fourth-seeded Machebeuf (16-3-0) reached the 2A final a year after getting eliminated in the semifinals.

No. 3 Montrose beat No. 14 Pueblo West, 35-28: Gage Wareham scored one TD and found Austin Zimmer for another as part of a 28-0 first half to lift the Red Hawks (9-2) to their sixth straight quarterfinal trip. Blake Griffin’s rushing score put Montrose ahead 35-7 late in the third quarter before the Cyclones (7-5) mounted a desperation rally that fell short.

No. 4 Broomfield beat No. 13 Fruita Monument, 30-14: The defending 4A champion Eagles (9-2) beat Fruita Monument (8-4) for the second time this season to advance to the quarterfinals and a matchup with No. 5 Mesa Ridge. The Wildcats pulled within two at 16-14 in the third quarter, but that was as close as they would get.

No. 8 Heritage beat No. 9 Golden, 31-18: Heritage (7-4) punched its ticket to the quarterfinals for the second year in a row, answering a Demons TD in the first quarter with 17 unanswered points to close out the first half. A Luc Chevalier scoring run brought Golden (9-3) within a score in the third quarter, but Heritage answered with two straight TDs to put the game away.
