It will be a busy week and weekend for participants and fans for Ridgway High School sports.
Both the boys' soccer team and girls' volleyball team will enter their respective regional playoffs and tournaments this week
For the first time in recent memory, the Ridgway High School boys soccer team will host the first round of a region 3A contest against Aspen High School at the Solar Ranch soccer field. The game begins at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22.
The Demons ended the season with a record of 9-1-3, undefeated in league play as they were led by coach Chuck Siefken.
The Ridgway team is now among 32 teams going into the state tournament, with Ridgway ranked 16th by the Colorado High School Activities Association. Should it defeat 17th-ranked Aspen on Wednesday afternoon, the Demons will most likely play top-ranked Colorado Springs Christian in that city on Oct. 25.
"We are definitely one of the smallest schools going into the tournament," said Ridgway Athletic Director Keith McCurdy.
The girls volleyball team, with a 7-10 record in league play, will compete in a regional shootout on Friday and Saturday, beginning at 3 p.m. (with the Ridgway game beginning most likely at 4 p.m.) at the Olathe High School gym.
The Ridgway volleyball squad is fourth-ranked in the six-team field in the Division 1A tourney.
