MOHI BOOSTER BRIEF

The Monarch Marching Band proudly hosted the Monarch Festival this past Saturday, October 10th, welcoming 18 bands for a fantastic day of competition. A huge thank-you to all the parents, families, and supporters whose hard work and dedication made this event possible!

Then, without missing a beat, the band hit the field again on Monday, October 12th for the Northern Regional State Qualifier — tying for 1st place in 4A with Centaurus and proving they’re more than ready to take on States next week!

Upcoming Competitions:

• Friday 10/23 - State Quarterfinals @Airforce Academy
• Saturday 10/24 - State Semifinals and Finals @Airforce Academy

Varsity:

The Monarch Coyotes football team kept their incredible momentum rolling with a dominant performance under the lights, blanking the Dakota Ridge Eagles 21-0 to secure their fifth consecutive victory!

Key Highlights from the Win:

• Lockdown Defense: The Coyote defense was unbreakable from start to finish, pitching a brilliant shutout and completely keeping the Eagles off the scoreboard.

• Defensive Surge: Over their last four games, the Monarch defense has been exceptionally stingy, allowing a mere 36 total points.

• Streak Extended: With this victory, the Coyotes improve their stellar record to 6-1 on the season, maintaining their impressive No. 19 ranking in the MaxPreps Colorado football standings.

Looking Ahead:

Monarch will look to keep the win train moving as they return to inter-league action. The Coyotes take on conference rival Boulder this coming Friday, October 16th, at 6:00 PM.

Let's pack the stands and bring that Coyote energy! Go Monarch!

Junior Varsity

The team fought hard and almost pulled off the comeback in a 14-21 loss at Dakota Ridge.

Cavan McCurdy ran in a touchdown, and Lucas Broussard added another for the 'Yotes offense.

Congratulations to Apollo for a great first performance at the Academic Awards!

The Monarch Girls Rugby team turned in another impressive performance this past Saturday at the Regis Rugby 7s Tournament. Throughout the fall 7s season, Monarch has earned strong results against respected programs including the Summit Tigers, East Angels, Regis Jesuit and several other opponents. The team took second in the Rugby Colorado State 7s Finals last season and is looking to continue that momentum.

Rugby is one of the fastest growing sports for girls, offering a unique combination of athleticism, teamwork, strategy and physicality and we are always looking for new members. No previous rugby experience is required and athletes from all backgrounds and sports are encouraged to participate.

Practices are held Mondays at Scanlon Field from 5:30pm-7pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm at Williams Field.

Anyone interested in joining the Monarch Girls Rugby program is invited to come out to a practice, meet the team and see what the sport is all about. With a strong foundation already in place and an exciting season underway, there has never been a better time to become part of Monarch Girls Rugby.

What a week for Monarch Girls Varsity Volleyball! The Coyotes delivered one of the biggest upsets in program history, taking down No. 2-ranked Niwot in a thrilling five-set battle (25-21, 18-25, 22-25, 25-21, 15-8). Trailing two sets to one, Monarch rallied with determination, confidence, and team chemistry to secure a statement victory. The Coyotes delivered an outstanding all-around performance, recording 51 kills, 94 digs, and 14 service aces.

Several players stepped up in a big way. Petra Rohlinger led the offense with an impressive 44 assists, 19 digs, and 8 aces, while Maya Singh anchored the defense with 21 digs. Maddie Barak contributed 13 kills and 2 blocks. Adding to the excitement was Jordan Towns' first varsity match, and what a debut it was! Jordan delivered a remarkable 17 kills and 11 digs, bringing tremendous energy, enthusiasm, and a competitive spark that helped fuel the Coyotes' historic victory.

Monarch carried that momentum into Thursday's matchup against neighboring rival Centaurus, earning a hard-fought 3-0 sweep (25-22, 27-25, 25-22) and avenging an earlier loss this season. Despite three tightly contested sets, the Coyotes remained composed, executed in critical moments, and demonstrated the confidence and resilience that defined their week.

Two victories, a historic upset, a rivalry redemption, and an exciting varsity debut made this a memorable week for Monarch Volleyball! The Coyotes are finding their rhythm, raising expectations, and demonstrating what they are capable of when they compete together with confidence, intensity, and purpose.

The momentum is building. SKO Yotes!

This amazing group of girls wrapped up the regular season this week with a 11-12 record (6-8

league record). Monday, October 12 can’t come fast enough as the girls wait to hear if they get

the opportunity to battle in the state playoffs for the first time in 20 years. Be sure to stop

these girls if you see them and congratulate them on their great season!

The last three games of the season didn’t play how the team wanted, but they should be really

proud of their hard work and push to wrap up the regular season. Here are some highlights of

the last three games:

vs. Loveland (L – Layla DiCarlo (Sophomore) had a great day on the mound striking out 10

batters and led the team with two hits in three at bats.

vs. Mead (L 6-7) – The Yotes strong hitting (9 hits) was not enough to beat Mead. Izzy Woodruff

(Freshman) had a great day at the plate with three hits. Kate Church (Senior) went 2-for- 4 at

the plate and led the team with two runs batted in. Layla DiCarlo showed her pitching strength

on the mound again striking out 11 batters this game.

Vs Smoky Hill (L 10-14) – The Yotes had chipped away at a 12-run deficit to come within two

runs in the fifth inning. The game was unfortunately called due to a lack of daylight in the 6 th

inning while the Yotes had runners on first and second with no outs. Six runs were scored on

five hits in the fifth inning with doubles by Layla DiCarlo and Kate Church and singles by Maya

Brubaker (Junior) and Abi O’Neill (Junior). The team collected 11 hits in the game with Maya

Brubaker, Kate Church, and Hailey Paddock (Junior) each collecting two hits each.

Varsity battled Silver Creek in an evenly matched game, with Gage A. scoring on an assist from Mark T. before falling 3–1 on set plays. The Yotes move to 4-4-3 on the season and look to bounce back with two home games next week: Tuesday vs. Longmont at 6 p.m. and Thursday vs. Frederick at 7 p.m. Thursday is Senior Night, celebrating our eight seniors in their final home game. Come out and support the boys! Sko Yotes!!!

JV put on an absolute show against Silver Creek, earning a convincing 5–1 victory! Defender Blake B. stole the spotlight with two goals — an impressive performance from the back line. Granger M., Greyson B., and Titus T. also found the back of the net with assists from Itay and Jack. The win keeps JV unbeaten at an impressive 9–0–2 on the season. Keep it rolling JV!

C Team continues to put together a strong stretch, earning wins over Peak to Peak and Wheat Ridge! The Yotes opened with a commanding 4–0 shutout of Peak to Peak, with Julian S. coming up with several fantastic saves. The boys followed with a 3–1 victory over Wheat Ridge before narrowly falling to Boulder High, 2–1. Across the three matchups, Adam F., Dean J., Aarush A., and Marshall T. found the net. C Team will look to close out the season strong!
