After the dust of the first round of boys lacrosse playoffs settled, two teams from the Douglas County league remained.

Chaparral and Mountain Vista made their way to the quarterfinals round after Vista earned a spot through the preliminary round and upset No. 10-seeded Mullen.

The Wolverines earned a bye from the preliminaries and awaited No. 9 seeded Air Academy to arrive for a 1-point polishing.

The post-season road ended for Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch, however.

Chaparral, the tournament’s No. 8 seed with a 12-3 record coming into the bracket, played host to No. 9 Air Academy May 11 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker and handed the Kadets a 9-8 final, sending them home for the season.

Chaparral’s Eric Haines had four games and two assists in that game. Trevis Thompson had two goals and one assist. Keenan Foshe also had two goals. Goaltender Derek Kopp finished with 15 saves.

With the win, Chaparral advanced to the quarterfinals, where they faced No. 1 Regis May 14 in Aurora. There, the Wolverines didn’t meet with the same success as Regis beat Chaparral 13-1. Foshe scored Chaparral’s only goal of the game. Kopp had 13 saves in goal.

The Wolverines finished their season with a 13-4 overall record.

The No. 15 seed, Highlands Ranch made the second round of action, where they met No. 2 Cherry Creek May 10 at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village. The Falcons saw the end of their season after the Bruins won 19-7.

Grant Arthurs finished with three goals and two assists for Ranch. Jordan Smith also had a hat trick. Eric Arthurs finished with 10 saves between the pipes.

Ranch finished the season with a 10-7 record.

Mountain Vista made the second round of action as the No. 10 seed. No. 7 seeded Mullen played host May 10 in at the school in Denver, but the Golden Eagles closed the book on the Mustangs with an 11-8 final.

With the win over Mullen, Vista moved on to face the No. 2 seed Cherry Creek May 14 at Regis High School in Aurora. The Golden Eagles’ season came to an end there after the Bruins won 10-5.

No Mountain Vista highlights were reported by press time. Vista ended the season with a 13-4 overall record.

Rock Canyon also earned a place in the second round of the playoffs as the No. 16 seed, but they had a tough one ahead of them facing the No. 1 seed Regis. The Raiders played host to the Jaguars May 11 at the school in Aurora and ended Canyon’s season with a 12-2 final.
