Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:29:50 GMT

GOLDEN – In the ultimate revenge of a computer science nerd, John Matocha pulls on his Orediggers super-hero uniform on Saturday morning and turns into a full-grown brute of a Groot.“I’m not the biggest guy. But I’ve got a big heart,” said Matocha, his eyes twinkling with mischief.And every time this 5-foot-11, 180-pound quarterback takes off with the football, he stares a would-be tackler in the eye and thinks: “I can truck him!”On a frightfully snowy Halloween weekend, Matocha and those nerds from Colorado School Mines did it again, plowing previously unbeaten Western Colorado 42-7 to keep on truckin’ as the No. 1-ranked team in NCAA Division II football.During a frigid afternoon when Matocha did the remarkable, accounting for a record 172nd touchdown of his college career, he also did something almost unthinkable for a dude who plays with such I-am-Groot ferocity that he’s tougher to tackle than the trunk of an four-ton tree.Late in the fourth quarter, with Mines’ seventh victory...

COLORADO SPRINGS — When Rosie Mucharsky’s signature “Beast Mode” takes over, good luck trying to catch her.The Denver East junior surprised a loaded Class 5A field Saturday at the CHSAA cross country state championships at the Norris Penrose Event Center to claim her first cross country crown. With the phrase painted on the back of her legs and pointing to a bracelet on her wrist with it after a winning time of 17 minutes, 28.8 seconds, Mucharsky dug deep in the final mile to earn an emphatic win.“You just get a boost of energy when you do something you do not expect to do at all,” Mucharsky said. “All of it (was a surprise). I was hoping to get top-five. There’s some incredible girls running in this race, and I love running with them. I had literally no idea that that was going to happen.”It was noticeable in just how much she beat the rest of the field: a 17.3-second gap over Air Academy’s Tessa Walter, who took second wi...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:29:50 GMT

After a long and at times controversial process, the Titanic-era S.S Keewatin finally arrived at its new home at a dry dock in Kingston on Thursday afternoon. The massive ship is over 330 feet long and weighs close to 3,000 tonnes, and was in service from 1908 to 1965, transporting cargo before primarily being used as a tourist vessel. For years the ship was kept at Port McNicoll since 2012 before being donated to the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes in Kingston, finally making the trip this past week after months of anticipation. It’s not the first time the ship has been in Kingston, after being transported in two pieces in November 1907. On Thursday, employees and volunteers from the museum along with the many spectators who came to view the ship upon its arrival said it was surreal to see the ship finally arrive in Kingston. Director and Chair of the Museum, Christopher West, said it’s amazing to see the ship finally arrive in the museum’s dry dock, but there...
