02/13/15 Longmont Times Call Longmont claims league crown; Trojans dispatch Thompson Valley "Our two seniors on our team didn't play tonight," Kloster said.

You just don't go to sleep on him. That's carried over to the basketball court for the Class 4A No. 1-ranked Longmont boys basketball team. One of the area's premier ball-hawking defensive players on the gridiron, Rothe showed on Saturday night against Skyline that he translates a lot of that quickness to the hardwood. When that's your 6th man, you know you've got something good... Rothe came off the bench to score seven points in the first half, but more importantly was a spark plug for the Trojans with his passing and defense as Longmont blew the game open very early. "Cooper, he's got such quickness and lateral movement. It's fun to watch him move his feet, stay in from of his man and defend the way he does." (Longmont Coach Jeff Kloster) |
