Golden Boys Soccer Wins First Jeffco Title Since 2007

GOLDEN, CO – By Dennis Pleuss for CHSAANow.com/JeffCo. It’s been more than a decade, so winning the Class 4A Jeffco League boys soccer title was special for Golden on Tuesday night at Lakewood Memorial Field.

“It feels pretty damn good,” Golden sophomore goalie Brandon Shull said of the Demons winning their first boys soccer conference title since 2007. “We worked hard all summer. We worked hard this season. I’m just glad we did it as a team.”

The Demons defeated rival Wheat Ridge 4-1 in the regular and league finale for both squads. Next, Golden (12-3 record, 5-1 in league) waits to see where it will be seeded for the 32-team 4A state tournament that begins Wednesday, Oct. 24.
