Golden HS Lacrosse Team Takes 4A Boys Title

GOLDEN, CO — By Dennis Pleuss and Ryan Casey for CHSAANow.com/Jeffco. Joe Brock scored the winner two minutes into overtime, and Golden boys lacrosse captured the program's first-ever championship by beating Cheyenne Mountain.

“We went to overtime I told the guys on the bench that we were due because we had two overtime losses this year. We were due on our side and sure enough," Golden coach Mike Thumim said. "I didn’t even see Joe’s ball go in. I just saw the guys reaction and I lost my mind.”

The goal capped off an amazing rally from the Demons, who trailed 7-2 late in the second quarter of the Class 4A title game.

“This was unbelievable,” Brock said. “Coming in as a No. 7 seed, we beat one, two and three (seeds). I can’t describe this feeling. It’s incredible. We worked our butts off for this.”
