In an instant preps classic, Cherokee Trail beat Broomfield 1-0 in eight innings at Aurora Sports Park on Saturday to capture the program’s first 5A title. Senior Chloe Knapp’s solo home run in the top of the eighth broke the tie, and Emily Bell threw a four-hit, complete-game shutout to give the Cougars (22-3) the win over the top-seeded Eagles (22-3). “We just felt like we had nothing to lose, so we just went out there and played our game,” Cherokee Trail coach Caley Mitchell said.
