There is a philosophy that I speak to our players about, “The best players around, make those around them better.” This past week in the CHSAA state championships, 18 of our Colorado Rush players did exactly that, helping their high school varsity teams to victories in the state championship Tuesday and Thursday night. The night started off with Jefferson Academy dominating play from start to finish against Manitou Springs in the 3A finals. The scoring started with a great pass from Allie Jo Kirckpatrick (05 DPL) into the path of one of her teammates who finished the play off with a good strike on goal. The skills of Ella Pajor (08 GA) shined all night as she took players on and created chances for JA to score as well. As time winded down, Kirckpatrick found herself open 25 yards out and finished her HS career off with the last goal of her last HS game and sealing the deal for her Jefferson Academy team.
