Fellow Centennial League competitors Allie Freiwald and Kelsey Freeman, both sophomores at Mullen were named to the Second Team. Rachel Gillcrest, a sophomore at Lakewood,was named to the JeffCo League's Second Team. Alysa Birdsall, a sophomore at Cherokee Trail, was named to the Skyline League's First Team.

Christmas? Already?!?
The 2007 Front Range Holiday Party is nigh! Saturday, December 1st at 7pm at Front Range, the club will host our annual holiday gathering. All Front Range families are welcome, including from the Boys team as well as the Mountain Division.
Coaches Michelle Hoffner and Jennifer Pokraka will be presenting the second annual Christmas Competition during the festivities.
Front Range will provide beverages. Families are asked to bring an appetizer to share as well as canned food for donation to the Food Bank of the Rockies. The canned food collection will continue after the holiday party as well.
Food Drive dates: November 26th through the last day of practice before the holiday break. Here are a few types of canned and dry goods that make nice donations: Tuna, ham, beef stew, chili, baked beans, fruit, vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, soup and pasta. Non-glass containers are preferred.
