• Preps: Aspen football beats Lyman (with photos) while volleyball continues to dominate (aspentimes.com) — Basalt athletes have a busy stretch ahead, with Longhorns football hosting Coal Ridge on Friday and Delta on Oct. 8, plus key home dates in volleyball, soccer, golf, cross-country, tennis, and softball. If you follow Basalt High, this roundup lays out when and where to catch your teams, how they're faring in league play, and which Longhorns are heading to state golf.
• Roaring Fork Schools Board of Education hears academic outcomes update (postindependent.com) — Roaring Fork Schools leaders say new state data show solid momentum in math but uneven reading results, with Basalt Elementary notably outperforming the statewide average in English language arts. District officials told the board they're pushing ahead with adopting a stronger K-8 literacy curriculum and aligning support so every school, including Basalt's, can match the gains seen in top-performing campuses.
