Last month I wrote one of my Prep Playbook columns about players or teams that could impress this fall, and I led that list with Aspen High School\u2019s Jack Pevny. A senior on the AHS boys golf team, he\u2019s the lone returner from last year\u2019s 3A state championship team and should be on everyone\u2019s short list to compete for the individual state championship next month.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s been a somewhat slow start to the season for Pevny, it\u2019s all starting to come together for him. On Monday, the Skiers sent a group to the Air Academy Kadet Invitational at Eisenhower Golf Course near Colorado Springs. This is significant, as Eisenhower will host the Oct. 7-8 state tournament.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s results will hardly matter come October, but how can you not get excited? Not only did Pevny win the Kadets\u2019 tournament by shooting 2-under 70, Aspen won the team title by shooting 8-over 224, beating 4A powerhouse Montrose by eight strokes.<\/p>\n

AHS coach Mary Woulfe said it was the \u201cbiggest win of the season for us\u201d and it certainly was. Montrose\u2019s Micah Stangebye was second, two shots behind Pevny, while AHS sophomore Nic Pevny tied for third at 2-over-par. Nic, Jack\u2019s younger brother, has been more consistent as of late, which bodes well for the team as a whole.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still not sure if Aspen can defend its state championship from a year ago, but with both Pevnys playing well they\u2019ll just need a third to step up and that\u2019s very much a possibility. They have plenty of guys who can shoot mid-70s \u2014 the tough part for the coaches is to pick the right two when it comes time for regionals.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that Aspen will host its regional tournament Sept. 25 at Aspen Golf Club. The Skiers have won the regional title every year for the past decade.<\/p>\n

RANKINGS UPDATE<\/p>\n

The Basalt High School softball team wasn\u2019t ranked to start the season. After starting 4-0, the Longhorns came into the Sept. 2 CHSAANow.com poll at No. 6 in Class 3A, a substantial jump. In the latest poll released Monday, Basalt is now No. 5 and receiving two first-place votes (seriously). I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d put them that high, but the Longhorns are worth paying attention to. They are 6-0 and have outscored their opponents by a collective 69 to 15. They crushed a good Montezuma-Cortez team in a doubleheader this past weekend. All I\u2019m saying is Basalt softball, you have the stage. What a start.<\/p>\n

The only other rankings of note are football. Aspen dropped out after its 37-20 loss to Bayfield on Saturday, which jumped back into the rankings at No. 10. Basalt is effectively No. 11 this week after taking care of Olathe on Friday in its season opener. Aspen is essentially No. 13. The 2A Western Slope League is sitting good as a whole, however, with Rifle (2-0) jumping up to No. 2, including five first-place votes, and Delta (1-0) sitting at No. 3 with one first-place vote. No doubt the Rifle-Delta game on Oct. 11 will likely decide the league title, but Basalt and Aspen can certainly provide some chaos in an unbelievably tough league. Aspen hosts Meeker on Friday night while Basalt faces Battle Mountain on Saturday afternoon in its home opener.<\/p>\n

LAST BUT NOT LEAST<\/p>\n

More than a week into September and we\u2019ll finally get to see the AHS volleyball team play. The Brittany Zanin-era begins Thursday when the Skiers host Roaring Fork at 6:30 p.m. The team lost a deep senior class from a year ago, so who knows what to expect this fall. Basalt volleyball (1-3) hosts Moffat County on Tuesday night in its home opener.<\/p>\n
