Boys Soccer in 2014 won against Westminster which sent them into the fourth-place finisher for the 5A Jeffco League which sent them into the quarterfinals. According to CHSAANOW, the game was like a Cinderella story, the game-winning goal was made by Ben Overholt who scored with 3:56 left in the first 15-min overtime period. Ben was a senior in the 2014 season and Jacob Cabot (a junior at the time) made the “perfect pass” (according to Overholt) to Ben.

Girls Soccer in the 2019 season won against Columbine’s winning streak of 24 games in which they beat the undefeated Rebels. The Rebels had gone 3 seasons undefeated. The girls tried their hardest and played the Chatfield way. To use our heart and soul. The junior at the time Madi Reszetucha scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory over the Rebels.
