  • Football roundup: 6-man No. 6 North Park tops No. 10 La Veta

    Austin Bertron threw three touchdown passes and Blayden Fletcher ran for another three as 6-man’s No. 6-ranked North Park hung on to get a 41-36 win over No. 10 La Veta on Saturday.

    Bertron totaled 240 yards through the air with Bryce Carlstrom on the receiving end of all of them.

    The Wildcats (2-1 overall) jumped out to a 28-12 lead in the first half, but the Redskins (2-1) battled back in the second half. They trailed 41-20 entering the fourth quarter and put 16 points in the board in that span.

    But it wasn’t enough. The Wildcats didn’t even need to score as their 41 points were good enough to hold up for the win.
