Last week, on Wednesday May 3, the Fossil Ridge baseball team played Boulder High School and unfortunately lost to the Panthers (6-7) in a close game. The next day, Thursday May 4, the boys took on Monarch High School beating the Coyotes (4-3), ending their season on a well-deserved win.

Over the course of the season the team didn’t reach their full potential, as junior Aj Artis and senior Dayton Williams expressed a week before their final game. The players on the team were very talented; however, the SaberCats couldn’t figure out how to effectively use their individual skills to reel in good results as a team.

Overall the boys ended the season with a (5-14) record and a league record of (3-9), needless to say, it wasn’t the most successful season for Fossil Ridge. The team will be saying goodbye to a handful of seniors this spring including: Dayton Williams, Noah Watters, Jake Grillo, Alex Paul, Bridger Keally, Ted Neimann, Evan Bergerson, and Ryan Smith.

We wish all of the seniors luck in the next chapter of their lives, and thank them for their hard work, and commitment to Fossil’s program.

About the Contributor

Emily Brey, Sports Editor

Emily Brey is a senior at Fossil Ridge High School who is in her third year on the Etched In Stone staff and is Co-Editor of the Sports BEAT. Emily plays varsity soccer for Fossil and also plays for Arsenal Colorado on the ‘00 Academy team. She is committed to play soccer at Colorado State University - Pueblo and plans to study business and law in college. After attending CSUP, she hopes to attend CU where she will go for her MBA.

Between taking on a full schedule and all of her extracurricular commitments, Emily is a very busy bee this year. Emily is serving as Vice President of FBLA here at Fossil, and is a member of Key Club and NTHS (National Technical Honor Society). She is an ambitious young lady whose reliability, organization, and work ethic has helped her achieve many goals in her time thus far at Fossil Ridge. She is a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and the bands, All Time Low, SWMRS, Waterparks, and The Wrecks. She enjoys spending time outside and organizing things, which relaxes her. When she isn’t covering a story or playing soccer, Emily enjoys being a homebody and watching movies.

The friendly, family-like environment that the journalism program at Fossil encompasses has been something she has valued since freshman year. She would love to be able to continue journalistic work after high school. Emily looks forward to leading the Journalism 1 writers, no matter if that’s in journalism or just life in general. Plus, she hopes to inspire the younger writers to report on other topics besides sports, just because that’s something that she wishes she would’ve done the past two years. Her main goal for the year in journalism is to get better with her coverage, especially with using multiple media platforms. Emily wants to try and expand from her comfort zone of sports writing, hoping to experience writing different journalistic topics.
