Ride for the Brand Riders - Bring home the State Title!

Roosevelt High School has extended Remote/Virtual Learning through January 5th.   Please contact the High School if you have any questions.

This weekend, RHS made the decision to go full-time virtual/remote learning through Nov. 27, 2020, as a result of 3 RHS faculty members, and several RHS students testing positive for COVID-19. This will NOT impact practices/games for the RHS football team and will NOT impact open gyms for out-of-season athletics. Daily temperature checks and COVID-19 health questionnaires will be conducted prior to each practice/game/open gym. If any student-athletes test above 100.4 degrees or answer any of the COVID-related questions in the affirmative, they will not be allowed to participate that day. Masks are required to be worn at all times by student-athletes, coaches, managers and trainers during the practices/open gyms/games, with the exception that the football players do not need to wear masks while on the field competing. Any student-athletes who are feeling sick at all (including cold and flu symptoms) are asked to stay at home and update their head coach as to their health status. For any questions, please feel free to contact RHS AD Jeff Neal at jeff.neal@weldre5j.org or 970 473-4568.

RIDER WEEK IN REVIEW

Week of October 5th

RHS Athletics was busy this week as the first round of fall sports was coming to a conclusion. Sophomore Dylan Bigler competed in the 4A state golf championships and more than held his own on a very tough Country Club of Colorado course in Colorado Springs. On Tuesday, RHS softball hosted the first round of the CHSAA 4A softball state playoffs and beat Northfield to move onto the Elite 8. Yesterday, in the Elite 8, the Riders lost 10-4 to a really good D’Evelyn team who was the #2 seed in the tournament.

Also yesterday, the RHS cross country teams competed in the Regionals at Lyons High School, where the boys finished 10th and the girls finished 6th. On the girls’ side, Allison Beard finished 12th, Gracie Leal finished 13th and Lili Leal finished 14th. All three girls earned all region honors. Congrats to all of our Rider athletes in boys’ golf, softball and boys' and girls' cross country for a terrific season and for staying disciplined and safe through all of the Covid protocols!

Tonight, we move into the second phase of the fall sports season with the return of Friday Night Lights! RHS football will be taking on #4 ranked Frederick on the road at 7 pm. The Riders are ranked #9 to start the season. Tickets are very limited for this game, with only 50 tickets being allocated to RHS for sale to families of our football players. The game is being live streamed at https://youtu.be/gRnEcuGdG20. #RidefortheBrand

On October 16th, the Riders will be hosting Mead High School at 7 pm at Peterson Field. Early next week, plans will be announced for the sale of tickets on GoFan. If you are interested in purchasing tickets, please download the GoFan app and look for details next week.

RIDER WEEK IN REVIEW

Week of September 14

The RHS softball team had a big week as they went undefeated in the Berthoud tournament with wins over Northridge (13-4), Berthoud (15-0), Adams City (15-0) and Loveland (6-5). Over the weekend, Malaya Coleman, Maerron Lovern, Alex Cantu and Bridget McNeil all hit big home runs to help lead the Riders. Malaya Coleman also handled most of the pitching duties. The Riders are currently 8-2 on the season, and are ranked #9 in 4A in the state of Colorado. This week, the Riders play Tuesday at Mountain View at 4:00 pm and will then take on #8 Frederick at home on Thursday at 4:00 pm at Nelson Fields.

Cross country is off to a good start, and has hosted a couple of conference meets at Lake Park in Johnstown. It’s the first time that the cross country program has hosted meets since 2000.  Thanks to Coach Joiner and his staff for setting up and handling the logistics of these races as many other districts are having a difficult time hosting events amid the Covid restrictions.  On the season, Freshman Lily Leal is off to a terrific start, including a top 10 at the Erie Invite and the 6th fastest freshman time in school history! The Riders have also received strong performances from Allison Beard, Gracie Leal, Kevin Smith, Andrew O’Brien, and Noah Zander.

The boys’ golf team is in full swing and has already competed in several conference matches. Last week, the Riders finished 9th out of 19 teams at the Fort Morgan Invitational, where sophomore Dylan Bigler tied for 5th overall with a score of 81. The Riders have also gotten solid performances from Will Loecke, Michael Wall, Ian Fenn and Matt Loecke this year on varsity. The Riders will be competing at Boomerang Links Golf Course in Greeley on Tuesday and at Todd Creek Golf Club in Brighton on Thursday.

RHS Dance Team recently participated in the NDA Dance Camp where Avery Stratton, Chloe Sauer and Adriana Tori were honored with the NDA All-American Award by exemplifying dance technique excellence, superior showmanship, spirit and leadership. These 3 girls will now be given the opportunity to take part in performances hosted by NDA all over the country.

Athletics:   Pursuant to COVID-19 related modifications to the CHSAA calendar, the only three sports that are currently in season are softball, boys’ golf and cross country. Off-season sports are allowed to have workouts per CHSAA guidelines and per the RHS COVID-19 related protocols on a schedule to be determined and communicated by the coaching staff. The full CHSAA season calendar is attached below:
