Buena Vista Girls' Soccer Ends Season as State Runner‑Up
The Buena Vista girls' soccer team concluded a remarkable campaign by finishing second in the Colorado 2A State Championship, falling 2‑0 to Forge Christian in the title match.
The championship game, played under bright lights at a packed stadium, saw Forge Christian dominate possession early but the Demons held firm defensively, keeping the score tight until the final whistle.
Coach Maria Hernandez praised her squad's resilience, noting that the runner‑up finish reflects the program's steady growth over the past few years and sets a strong foundation for future success.
Throughout the season, the team benefited from the generous support of local sponsors and the unwavering enthusiasm of the Chaffee County community, whose backing helped cover travel costs and equipment needs.
The season also served as a highlight reel for regional sports coverage, with Heart of the Rockies Radio providing weekly updates from Fall through Spring, chronicling each milestone and standout performance.
Looking ahead, the Demons are already planning for next year's campaign, aiming to build on the experience gained in the state final and return stronger in the upcoming fall season.
The club extends heartfelt thanks to all partners, families, and fans whose contributions kept the spirit of the game alive across the county.
