LONGMONT — Silver Creek football coach Mike Apodaca got the chills when he heard it out loud: the team is an undefeated, more-than-likely league champion.
After finishing the last two seasons a rough 3-7, Silver Creek has climbed to the top ranks of Colorado high school football standings, and made a huge statement with a top-10 takedown over a Northern League rival.
This week’s Class 3A No. 3-ranked Raptors maintained their undefeated record on Friday night with a 10-3 victory over No. 7 Longmont at Everly-Montgomery Field.
“This group has persevered through the rough seasons and hung in there with each other and their coaches,” Apodaca said. “I’m so proud they get to experience the fruits of their labor.”
Offensively, Silver Creek didn’t put up a ton of points, but the Raptors still scored when they needed to. The team took an early lead in the first quarter on a 15-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Dylan Ordway to senior wide receiver George Ramirez. Sohpomore kicker Coltan Grabau booted a good extra point for a 7-0 lead.
“I don’t think offensively we’ve yet hit our stride, but I think we have so much more and Ordway is going to captain that ship,” Apodaca said. “We were outstanding on defense, and our defense gave us a chance to stay in the game.”
The senior defensive players took charge on the Raptors’ senior night, led by clutch pass rushing efforts from the sack attack: defensive end Tyler Gibbs and lineman Karl Olson, who each had one sack apiece. The defensive backs also provided excellent coverage and stayed with the Longmont offense.
“When Longmont got into passing downs and tried to throw, Gibbs and Olson on the edge put the pressure on them, and we knew if we brought the pressure, we’d have a chance to defend. But if you give Longmont all day to throw, they’ll make the play.”
Longmont junior Avery Peterson had an interception early in the second quarter, but the Trojans didn’t capitalize and missed a field goal attempt five minutes after the pick-off. But Peterson booted a good FG right at the end of the first half for a 7-3 score.
“Having only three points scored on us in the whole game, that says something about a really good team,” Gibbs said. “Longmont is a really good team, it has a really good offense, and they’re known for scoring a lot of points. We just shut them down.”
Grabau kicked a third-quarter field goal for the Raptors for the final 10-3 score in a very defensive battle.
Longmont has a 6-3 overall mark now and heads into another tough matchup next week against No. 6-ranked Fort Morgan.
The Raptors rolled to 9-0 and have one more game against Thompson Valley (1-8) next week that will be part of determining the 3A Northern League champion.
“Our last two seasons we went 3-7, so losing a lot of those games just pushed us to be better, and we have a ton of great leadership from 22 seniors,” Gibbs said.

Chatfield, the second-ranked team in Class 4A football, pulled off a late rally to avoid an upset at the hands of Dakota Ridge on Friday.
The Chargers — who trailed 12-10 at halftime, and 29-24 after the third quarter — got a big 10-point swing early in the fourth quarter to change the game.
“We had to kick a field goal where we wanted to score a touchdown, and the ensuing kickoff, they fumbled it,” Chatfield coach Bret McGatlin told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We were able to put it in the end zone. Those 10 points right there just changed the complexion for us. After that, it just got us going.”
Ultimately, Chatfield scored the game’s final 19 points to win 36-29.
“It was a little scary there for a while,” McGatlin said. “Dakota Ridge came out and played really well. I have a lot of respect for that team.”
“We were shell-shocked in the first, second and most of the third quarter, because they came out and they smashed us in the mouth early,” the coach added later. “All of a sudden, we started playing our game. It was fun.”

Arickaree/Woodlin scored the game’s final 34 points after trailing 45-19 in the third quarter, and advanced to the 6-man quarterfinals as a result.
It was the lone 6-man playoff game of the night.
No. 2 Fleming beat No. 15 Otis 62-14 on Thursday. The remaining six games are all on Saturday.
Arickaree/Woodlin has reached the championship game each of the past two seasons, winning the title in 2014.

Burlington scored the winning touchdown with six minutes to play to seal a league title.
“It was definitely defensive-minded,” Burlington coach Glynn Higgs told the Scoreboard Show. “I think when you play eachother as long as we have, and we’ve both had some pretty good teams in the past, you kind of know each other. And it was a very physical game, as we expected.
“We made one more play,” Higgs added. “We kicked our extra point, and they weren’t able to” convert a two-point conversion.
The win clinched the 1A North Central for the Cougars (7-2, 5-0 in league).

Weld Central got a late touchdown to secure a huge win and improved to 8-1 this season.
“Our kids played absolutely phenomenal tonight,” coach James Canaday told the Scoreboard Show. “They were very composed.”
The Rebels called a timeout just prior to the winning score.
“It was do-or-die, so we started talking about what we needed to call,” Canaday said. “Our offensive coordinator came up with a great play, and one of our better players, Alex Ries, was wide open and he caught it. … It was absolutely incredible. It was one of the neatest things I’ve ever been through.”

COLORADO SPRINGS — All week, TCA coach David Bervig got his team prepared to face Manitou Springs’ gritty rushing attack and single wing offense. What he saw on the field Friday night surprised him.
The injury-depleted CHSAANow.com No. 10-ranked Mustangs opted to attack through the air and the it took the No. 3 Titans by surprise. Luckily, they got more than they needed on the ground to come away with a 59-34 win over Manitou Springs.
With the win, the Titans (8-1 overall, 4-1 Tri-Peaks) finish second in league play but are very much in line to host their first game of the Class 2A playoffs.
“We have a lot of respect for them,” Bervig said. “And the way they executed was great. They were in spread and they kicked our butts. Good on them.”
That’s not to take anything away from what TCA was able to do. Austin Weingart was a beast in the ground game, going for 258 yards and scoring two touchdowns. After the Mustangs (6-3, 2-3) starting finding a touchdown scoring connection of Cole Sienknecht throwing to Lucas Rodholm, it was Weingart who killed the momentum.
“We just had to calm down and play our game,” Weingart said. “Because they clearly weren’t as good as us, so we just had to calm down, play our game and we were good to go.”
Manitou’s biggest struggle on the night came with depth. The Mustangs had 18 players suited up at the start of the game and ended up losing wingback and cornerback Uriah Waters to a migraine headache that forced him out of the stadium in an ambulance.
But the Mustangs continued to fight despite the loss of Waters and not having Davyn Adamscheck and Atticus Fredrickson in the lineup.
“I honestly don’t care about the score,” Sienknecht said. “I’m so proud of my team right now. I wouldn’t want to be out here battling with anyone else.”

The Titans were up 10-0 before the Mustangs started finding their rhythm. Sienknecht found Rodholm for a 55-yard touchdown pass to make it a 10-7 game.
But a good return and a 32-yard scoring run by Weingart once again made it a two-score game. Sienknecht once again found Rodholm after a fumbled snap which forced him to scramble out of the pocket.
Even after TCA had regained the momentum, the Mustangs kept finding a way to stay in the game.
But Weingart was able to answer once again, proving to be too much for Manitou.
“This is the most fight we’ve had in a battle of one of the top two or three teams in the state,” Manitou coach Cory Archuleta said. “I can’t be any more proud of a group of 18 kids that came out to fight the way they did.”
TCA just needed one break to add some padding to the scoring gap and got it when the ball was snapped over Sienknecht’s head and Alec Day recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown.
“That was huge,” Bervig said. “We just had to get one or two (more) scores for a cushion because we did not have an answer.”
The offensive output slowed in the second half, but the Titans were able to continue to pound the ball on the ground and control the flow of the game, without necessarily controlling time of possession. They only held the ball for 15 minutes and 32 seconds for the game.
The Mustangs held the ball for the well over the majority, even when attacking by the air. Sienknecht finished with 270 passing yards and five passing touchdowns on the night.
Now both teams await their playoff fate. The Titans know they will be in the 2A state playoffs, but are anxious to see if they will host their first game.
The Mustangs are at the mercy of RPI numbers. They came in ranked No. 10, which would put them in the field of 16. But Archuleta doesn’t want them thinking about that until Monday.
“We’ll figure it out,” he said. “If we get in, we get in. But if we don’t, then we just move on.”
The final RPI numbers will be released Saturday night and the 2A football bracket will be released on Sunday.
COLORADO SPRINGS — No. 3 Pine Creek jumped out to a 41-0 lead after the first half, then cruised to a 41-7 win over Widefield on Friday night.

PARKER — Pomona football continued its mastery of the Class 5A Mt. Evans League on Friday night.
The Panthers, No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com 5A football poll since early September, rolled to another conference victory. Pomona (8-1, 4-0 in league) defeated No. 10 Chaparral 40-7 on the road at EchoPark Stadium.
“We needed a big game like this to get us back in that, ‘Pomona Football’ mindset,” Pomona senior defensive end Brandon Micale said.

“They come to play every night. They aren’t worried about who they are playing. They just come to play and that is what we need to do,” Pomona coach Jay Madden said with one week left of the regular season before playoffs begin. “There are a lot of good teams out there. We are going to have our work cutout for us. We are going to enjoy this one.”
Pomona’s defense enjoyed itself Friday night in spoiling senior night for the Wolverines. If not for a 72-yard touchdown pass from Chaparral senior quarterback Taden Blaise to junior Peyton Ross that included a rare miss tackle by the Panthers, Pomona would have likely shut out Chaparral.
“It was a missed sack on a scramble play, besides that, the defense played great,” Madden said of the Wolverines’ lone score.
Helping Pomona to the victory was touchdowns on defensive and special teams. Senior Uriah Vigil intercepted Blaise on the opening drive of the game and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown at the 7:39 mark in the first quarter.
“We manned up on them. We had watched it on film and sure enough, it was there,” Vigil said of his interception when he jumped a route in the flat. “It was a momentum change right off the bat.”
A two-yard touchdown run by Pomona senior Cameron Gonzales and a pair of field goals by senior Tyler Thimsen pushed the Panthers’ lead to 20-7 at halftime.
Junior Max Borghi made his presence known in the third quarter. After sending several punts out-of-bounds with Borghi as the returner in the first half, Chaparral decided to punt to Borghi after the Wolverines’ first offensive possession stalled in the third quarter.

After Borghi initially dropped the punt, he eluded a few defenders and returned the punt 64 yards for a touchdown with 7:28 left in the third quarter to put Pomona up 27-7.
Pomona quarterback Ryan Marquez connected with sophomore Billy Pospisil for a 28-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-down play in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter to make the score 34-7.
The defense came up with one last big play with Vigil grabbing his second interception on the night. Take out the 72-yard pass play in the first quarter, Pomona’s defense held Chaparral to under 150 yards of total offense.
“We know our defense needs to be a big factor in every game,” Vigil said. “As soon as we get rolling and then our offense gets rolling, it’s all over after that. We are hard to stop when we get some momentum.”
Pomona’s back-up quarterback Colten Muller put the icing on the cake with a 36-yard touchdown run with under two minutes to play to make the final score 40-7.
The victory over Chaparral marked the third victory over a top-10 team in the ranking this season for Pomona. The Panthers had already defeated No. 2 Mullen and No. 7 Valor Christian. Pomona’s lone loss this season was to Georgia’s Glynn Academy in a game that was played in Florida.
Pomona will attempt to run its winning streak to eight and more importantly clinch an automatic postseason berth when the Panthers face Cherokee Trail at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at the North Area Athletic Complex. Pomona would win the Mt. Evans League title and earn one of the automatic bids given to the seven 5A conference champions.
Chaparral closes out its regular season on the road against Hinkley next Friday night before learning its playoff fate when the 16-team state field is released Nov. 6.
