Athletics

Mullen Stadium was a cold place Thursday night as our Freshman Football Warriors played a well fought game from opening kick off to the final whistle.  The loss puts us at 3 and 3 on the season. Next up is Lakewood as they come to our house, Saturday October 13th at 9 AM.

Congrats to the JV softball team for their great performance in the JV League tournament on Saturday.  Despite the chilly weather, the Lady Warriors played hard and were first and second in the tournament, beating Cherry Creek for the third time this season.  Nice Job ladies, way to finish the season strong!

For further details on any announcements see the Arapahoe web site. 
Warriors always take care of one another.
