  • Former Jeffco high school psychologist convicted of sexual assault on a child

    Former Jeffco high school psychologist James Michael Chevrier was convicted Monday of five charges, including sexual assault on a child, according to the Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

    He was acquitted on two other charges.

    Chevrier, 39, was found guilty of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance involving ketamine ,contributing to the delinquency of a minor involving alcohol and contributing to the delinquency of a minor involving marijuana.

    He was found not guilty of soliciting for child prostitution and attempted sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust.

    The jury began deliberating late Jan. 9 after a five-day trial. Deliberations resumed on Monday morning, and the jury reached a verdict after noon.

    Chevrier had been out on bond and living out of state while the case was pending. He was remanded into custody following the verdict.

    He is scheduled to be sentenced at 8:30 a.m. April 2.

    Chevrier was tried for crimes police said happened while he was employed as a staff psychologist at Green Mountain High School and Bear Creek High School. The charges involved three students, as well as separate drug-related offenses.

    The Lakewood Police Department arrested Chevrier last year in May after the school district received a Safe2Tell report that a Green Mountain school psychologist had sexually assaulted a female student.

  • 8 Colorado high school football games to watch in Week 8

    CLASS 5A

    No. 9 Fountain-Fort Carson (6-1) vs. No. 5 Legend (6-1)

    When/where: 7 p.m. Thursday at EchoPark Stadium

    Last meeting: Legend 42, at Fountain-Fort Carson 7, Oct. 18, 2024

    Streaming: NFHS Network

    Fountain-Fort Carson is pounding the rock again, and looking dangerous doing it. The Trojans took down Regis Jesuit a week ago, with Da’kari Releford Jr. going off for 170 yards and two TDs to top 1,000 yards for the season. The Trojans will need more of that from the junior tailback if they want to keep pace with Boston College QB commit DJ Bordeaux and a Legend offense averaging 47.1 points per game.

    Columbine (3-4) vs. No. 2 Ralston Valley (7-0)

    When/where: 7 p.m. Thursday at NAAC Stadium

    Last meeting: Ralston Valley 35, at Columbine 34 (OT), Oct. 18, 2024

    Streaming: NFHS Network

    Always a circle-the-date game on the Jeffco prep football calendar, this year’s edition appeared to lose a little luster when Columbine started the season 0-3. The Rebels have rebounded since, however, and were a last-minute touchdown away from upsetting unbeaten Arvada West last week for their fourth straight win. As it is, Andy Lowry’s Rebels stand as a gritty test for a Ralston Valley program that has won three of four against Columbine since 2022.

    Eaglecrest (6-1) vs. No. 1 Cherry Creek (7-0)

    When/where: 7 p.m. Thursday at Stutler Bowl

    Last meeting: Cherry Creek 44, at Eaglecrest 0, Oct. 18, 2024

    Streaming: NFHS Network

    Can someone, anyone, challenge Cherry Creek in the 5A Centennial League? Eaglecrest is the next team up with the unenviable task of trying to slow down the Creek juggernaut. The Raptors have won five straight since a Week 2 loss at Fort Collins, but now they face a significant step up in class. All but one of Eaglecrest’s six wins have been against teams that currently sport a losing record. Hang with Creek on Thursday, though, and the Raptors are for real.

    Mullen (3-4) vs. No. 8 Erie (5-2)

    When/where: 6:30 p.m. Friday at Tiger Stadium

    Last meeting: Erie 48, at Mullen 13, Oct. 18, 2024

    Streaming: Erie Tiger Network

    Mullen spent its nonleague schedule hanging with 5A giants. Sooner or later, the Mustangs gotta take one down. They get another chance Friday with a trip north. The matchup features a pair of D-I tight ends in Erie’s Gabe Sema (Northern Arizona) and Mullen’s Mason Bonner (Michigan), as well as Oregon State commit Braylon Toliver (670 rush yards) going up against a salty Mullen defense headlined by future FBS edge rusher Troy Mailo. This should be fun.

    Westminster (5-2) vs. Mountain Range (5-2)

    When/where: 7 p.m. Friday at North Stadium

    Last meeting: Westminster 28, vs. Mountain Range 15, Oct. 18, 2024

    It’s been 10 years since Westminster won a league title, but former pro QB Chris Helbig has the Wolves atop the 5A Metro North in his first year leading the program. Cross-town rival Mountain Range has already won more games this season than any Mustangs squad in the last 11 years and has allowed just 23 total points over the last three weeks. Can they limit Westminster’s freshman wunderkind Santana Soriano (1,378 yards, 15 TDs passing) and a talented group of senior pass catchers?

    CLASS 4A

    Bear Creek (6-1) vs. Heritage (4-3)

    When/where: 6 p.m. Thursday at LPS Stadium

    Last meeting: Heritage 61, at Bear Creek 23, Oct. 17, 2024

    Streaming: NFHS Network

    Two teams coming off losses in the hyper-competitive 4A South Metro League meet looking to get back on track. Bear Creek saw its unbeaten season slip away in a disastrous second half against Golden, while Heritage was the latest victim of the Dakota Ridge powerhouse. Both teams can put up points in a hurry. Expect fireworks.

    Mesa Ridge (3-4) vs. No. 2 Montrose (7-0)

    When/where: 6 p.m. Friday at Montrose HS

    Last meeting: Montrose 53, vs. Mesa Ridge 21, Nov. 23, 2024

    Streaming: NFHS Network

    Mesa Ridge took a big step forward with an upset of Pueblo West last week. The Grizzlies can take an even larger one this Friday with a trip to the Western Slope. The Red Hawks have beaten Mesa Ridge four times over the last three seasons, including a season-ender last fall in Montrose. Just staying within reach of the Red Hawks, who’ve taken double-digit leads into the third quarter in six of seven wins, is hard enough. Beating them? No team has done that in the regular season in the last 24 tries.
