Sofka's nine-year run: Ranked No. 25 and on the way to the Front Range for a regional playoff matchup in 2011, expectations were high but leveled internally for Olathe's baseball team. Led by first-year head coach Darren Sofka, the Pirates were set to play host Kent Denver, a top-10 ranked team in 3A. The memory serves as one of dozens for Sofka, who resigned as head coach of Olathe High School's baseball team last month, opting to take advantage of opportunities to watch his son, Dayton, play baseball at Norwich University in Vermont and visit his daughter, Morgan, who is also attending college. Prohibited uses at Shavano: Under an ordinance approved Wednesday, no overnight use or camping will be allowed on the public land the county is leasing to create the Shavano Gateway Recreation Area. After hearing from a community member, Montrose County commissioners decided to address for-profit uses on the to-be-developed site as they come up, rather than amend the ordinance right now.
