The baseball program at Pueblo County, aiming for its third straight 20-win season, and perhaps more, is starting to pile up the wins this spring. Among the six major high schools in Pueblo, the Hornets (11-2) are one of three that haven’t won a state title on the diamond. They were close last year but bowed out on the final day of the season to Class 4A champ Holy Family. They look capable of a similar run this spring.

Prairie View left-handed pitcher Favi Gaeta has started the 2025 season much like he has in each of his last two varsity seasons: with a plummeting ERA. The senior’s latest gem on the mound came Tuesday, when he tossed six strong innings in a win over Riverdale Ridge. Finishing the last two seasons with a sub-2 ERA — a 1.65 mark over 72 1/3 innings in 2024 and 0.96 in 36.1 IP in 2023 — he’s started this spring 5-1, allowing just five earned runs (1.24 ERA) across 28 1/3 innings.

It’s been seven years since Boulder High School’s girls soccer program last won a game in the state postseason. Even longer since it raised a league title banner. Five games into 2025, still not enough is known about these Panthers to predict what will happen in May. But at 4-0-1 — and ranked second in the state by MaxPreps — while the future is unclear, the present sure has been a kick for them. On Tuesday, they’ll look to remain unbeaten when they host Silver Creek (4-2).

DENVER – Sienna Betts has a favorite of her three state titles. It wasn’t the 61-39 win she helped Grandview author over Legend in the Class 6A state title game on Saturday at the Denver Coliseum. But, rather the one she claimed in 2023, the year after her sister, UCLA center Lauren Betts graduated. The younger Betts, the record setting Grandview forward owns the state record for double-doubles, has racked up 2,000 points and almost 1,500 rebounds to go along with three state titles.
