FOUNTAIN – Finding consistency and rhythm in football can be challenging at certain points of the season. For Fountain-Fort Carson, it was near impossible a week ago. One game split between two days (and two trips to Highlands Ranch) resulted in a loss to the Falcons.
Things weren’t necessarily getting easier with Class 4A No. 3 Pueblo West coming into Guy Barickman Stadium. The Cyclones had been on a roll since taking down Dakota Ridge in Week 1 and sophomore quarterback Gavin Lockett hasn’t been short on confidence.
That’s why it was so important for Tai Faavae and the Trojans defense to make him uncomfortable. They did just that and kept the Cyclones out of the end zone altogether in a 40-0 win.
“Last week was really funky,” Faavae said. “It was like playing a Madden where you just pause it and play the next day. But today, I’m proud of everyone on defense.”
