Northern Colorado softball suffers disappointing 10-1 home loss to Colorado State
In-state as well as cross-town competitions frequently highlight the most effective in sports groups out of the large need for boasting civil liberties. That’s what the College of Northern Colorado wished to take place on Tuesday, however it didn’t.
UNC (17-24, 5-4 Huge Skies) was up to Colorado State (14-20, 5-7 Hill West) in Greeley. As opposed to revealing battle as well as durability, the group shed, 10-1. There weren’t sufficient excellent bet an emphasize video clip.
“Among one of the most vital points that we believe we need to do is have the ability to take on our cross-town opponents, since in order to be where we wish to be, we need to have the ability to play those video games with them,” UNC head trainer Ben Garcia stated. “I believe that’s the most difficult point for me to be able to remove; they appeared, they punched us in the face as well as we didn’t react.”
The group’s only run can be found in all-time low of the 2nd when student assigned gamer Hannah Knox attracted a stroll and after that got home after jr appropriate fielder Alyssa Wenzel tripled.
North Colorado had a couple of various other hits, however it couldn’t string with each other adequate favorable plays to include any type of go to the scoreboard.
Protection had concerns, also. The Bears videotaped 5 mistakes, 3 of which got on fresher 3rd baseman Peyton Windstorm. Before the competition, Windstorm had actually logged simply 5 mistakes the whole period.
She wasn’t the just one that battled, however. The group in its entirety didn’t look as hostile as CSU, which was making the diving plays, fielding easily as well as tossing joggers out. UNC simply wasn’t doing that continually.
Just fifty percent of the Rams’ runs were made, suggesting several of the racking up was self-inflicted by North Colorado.
Furthermore, the pitching team wasn’t on top of its video game. Fresher Meghan Golden obtained the begin however was drawn midway via after quiting 7 runs. Golden set out simply one batter, strolled one as well as struck 2 – though there was a little dispute on among the struck by pitch phone calls.
Junior Erin Caviness came in for alleviation, starting out 4 as well as strolling one. She still surrendered 3 runs, 2 of which were made.
“We’re comparable to CSU, we actually are. We simply not have actually not played because capability to obtain that,” Garcia stated. “We’ve reached do some inner excavating as well as attempt as well as find out just how we bring it out this weekend break … We’ve simply reached have the ability to find out just how we come back on the right track.”
Garcia thinks the group’s incongruity originates from the frame of mind. It’s not having fun with sturdiness. He kept in mind the current Huge Skies competitions. The group begins well as well as wins the very first video game however goes soft in the rest of the collection.
“We appear to shed our power, our circulation. Possibly it’s my mistake. It’s actually tough to remain to keep up, however in some way I’ve reached have the ability to find out just how to do a far better work to maintain them there,” Garcia stated. “In some way they’ve reached be coachable to approve it. It’s a hard formula, however, as an instructor, that’s my obligation, I’m mosting likely to need to do a far better work to attempt as well as place that with each other.”
UNC has a huge collection versus Weber State this weekend break, which is presently unbeaten as well as leading the organization. After that, the group will certainly play Idaho State the adhering to week in the house.
Garcia stated these 2 weekend breaks are very important to establish the collaborate for an excellent area in the Big Skies Competition in May. With any luck the group can take lessons from Tuesday as well as use them moving forward.
The very first video game of the Weber State collection is established for 1 p.m. Friday. The 2nd video game of the doubleheader is arranged for about thirty minutes after the verdict of the very first video game.

Colorado authorities shut down low-income housing developer
The Colorado Division of Securities is pursuing legal action against a man whom it claims deceived investors and used the ownership of federally supported low-income housing projects to line his own pockets.
Securities Commissioner Tung Chan announced its civil court filings against Michael Dale Graham, 68, on Nov. 12.
Chan’s office filed civil fraud charges against Graham, and also asked for a temporary restraining order and freezing of Graham’s assets and his companies’. A Denver district court judge immediately granted both. Since then, two court dates to review the those orders have canceled; a third is scheduled for mid-January.
Graham operates Sebastian Partners LLC, Sebastiane Partners LLC, and Gravitas Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund I LLC (“GQOZF”), all of which were controlled by Graham during his “elaborate real estate investment scheme,” as described by the securities office in a case document.
The filing states Graham collected more than $1.1 million from eight investors to purchase three adjacent homes in Aurora. The Denver-based Gravitas fund and its investors purportedly qualified for the federal Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) program with the homes. Qualified Opportunity Zones were created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed by Congress in 2017. The zones encouraged growth in low-income communities by offering tax benefits to investors, namely reductions in capital gains taxes on developed properties.
Graham formed Gravitas in early 2019 and purchased the three homes located in the 21000 block of E. 60th Avenue two years later. He quickly sold one of them with notifying investors, according to the case document. While managing the other two, Graham and Gravitas transferred the fund’s assets and never operated within QOZ guidelines to the benefit of its investors or the community, according to the state.
Gravitas also transferred the titles for the two properties to Graham privately. As their owner, Graham obtained undocumented loans from friends totaling almost $600,000. The two loans used the two properties as security.
Gravitas investors were never informed of the two loans, according to the case document. Also, Gravitas never sent its investors year-end tax reports, the securities office alleges.
Graham used the proceeds of the loans for personal use. No specific details were provided about those uses.
“Effectively, Graham used Gravitas as his personal piggy bank,” as stated in the case document, “claiming both funds and properties as his own. Graham never told investors about the risks associated with transferring title to himself. On September 1, 2023, he sent a letter to investors, stating that the properties ‘we own’ are doing well and generating growth due to record-breaking home appreciation. But Gravitas no longer owned the properties.
“Gravitas no longer had assets at all.”
Furthermore, the securities office said Graham failed to notify investors of recent court orders against him in Colorado and California. In total, Graham was ordered to pay more than $1 million in damages related to previous real estate projects.
Graham’s most recent residence is in Reno, Nev., according to an online search of public records. He evidently has previously lived in Santa Monica, Calif., and Greenwood Village.
