Jefferson Academy Secondary

Two rounds in. Two big wins.

Last night, the Jags made it look easy against Lamar in the 2nd round of the 3A State Playoffs, winning 4-0. Senior Troy Brown led the Jags with a HAT TRICK and Luca Arroyo (Sr) knocked in a goal to ice the win. Big thanks to Pinnacle Charter School for welcoming our community and giving us a place to play under the lights!

Lamar came out playing hard, and unfortunately, it ended up being to the Jags' advantage. The game was marred by hard fouls and a handful of yellow cards, which allowed the Jags to take over early. Once Brown netted his second goal on a PK, the team never looked back.

Once again, the Jags' defense held the opposing team at midfield for the majority of the game, only allowing a couple of shots to make it to Junior Goalkeeper Trevor Chichirico.

In other games, top-seeded Colorado Academy defeated Roaring Fork in a shootout, and The Academy (8-seed) took out The Classical Academy, 2-0. Both Peak To Peak (5-seed) and Kent Denver (4-seed) won their games, setting up two huge Metro League clashes in the top half of the playoff bracket.
