  • Football roundup: Niwot football wins for the first time in two years

    (@niwotathletics/Twitter)

    When Niwot football grabbed a 12-7 lead over Fort Lupton at halftime on Friday, it was the first time they’d led in a game since 2016.

    The Cougars weren’t satisfied with that.

    They went on to win 26-13 for the program’s first win since September 2016. The victory snapped a 19-game losing streak.

    Liam Flanagan rushed for three touchdowns and 154 yards on 43 carries for the Cougars. Cory Rathburn led the defense with five tackles.

    Niwot is in its second season under coach Jeremy Lanter.

    PrepsCast recap

    A recap of the night from Colorado Preps:

    [divider]

    4A/3A: (4A 8) Montrose 41, (3A 8) Durango 36

    The two teams traded scores all night, but it was Montrose who got the final points.

    Montrose’s Emmert Kastendieck scored on a four-yard run to give his team the lead for good with 41.2 seconds to play, according to the Durango Herald.

    Chris Eckerman had 220 yards and two touchdowns for Montrose, per the paper.

    The game was delayed in the third quarter due a lightning in the area.

    [divider]

    6-man: (3) Kit Carson 50, (5) Arickaree/Woodlin 8

    Kit Carson controlled the game from start to finish in moving to 2-0 this season.

    “We ran the ball really well,” coach Curt Connelley told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “Our special teams really got us on the board quickly.”

    Joe Bryan returned a kickoff for a touchdown, and his brother, Chris Bryan, returned a punt for a score.

    [divider]

    8-man: Fowler 28, (4) Akron 20

    Fowler knocked off the previously-unbeaten Rams with a late score. The Grizzlies recovered a kickoff after a fortunate bounce to set up the touchdown.

    “It was a lot of smashmouth football. Akron had a couple of big plays on us. They did a great job defensively,” coach Mark Van Sickle told the Scoreboard Show. “We were three- to four-yards and a cloud of dust. It was great to get back to what I think Fowler football is.”

    6-man: (3) Kit Carson at (5) Arickaree/Woodlin

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick.

    Station: KAT Country 98.3 FM

    On the call: Marc Romero

    Romero on the matchup: “Two teams that return a ton of experience from 2017. Arickaree/Woodlin doesn’t have any stats posted, but the names are basically the same for a group that has experience playing together in all sports. Kit Carson showed just how much offense they have (nearly 1200 returning passing yards and over 1900 rushing yards return from 2017) with the 73 points posted in week one.”

    4A: Grand Junction Central at Grand Junction

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick

    Station: The Team 1340

    On the call: Jim Davis (Play by Play), Nate Primrose (Color)

    Davis on the matchup: “The Tigers are coming off a 31-12 loss at Montrose, with the Warriors beating previously 6th ranked Fruita Monument 13-9. It was Central’s first win against the Wildcats since 2009. Grand Junction beat Central last year 21-0.”

    Hear the game on 1340 The TEAM, 102.1 Delta, 100.1 Montrose and streaming at theteam1340.com.

    Rocky Ford at Lamar

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick

    Station: KLMR 920

    On the call: Ethan Denton

    Denton on the matchup: “Both teams are coming off losses in their opener. The host Savages look to take care of the ball much better, as four first-half turnovers doomed them at Limon last Friday. Rocky Ford’s spread offense had a hard time getting started two weeks ago against Florence and so this game may simply come down to who executes better for four quarters. Whoever can control field position will be in a good position to win.”

    4A: (3) Windsor at Ponderosa

    Game time: 7 p.m.

    Station: Orange and Blue 760

    On the call: Chad Andrus (Play by play), Matt McChesney (Color)

    Coloradoan’s Kevin Lytle on the matchup: “Windsor will continue to pound the run game like always. They had six different guys carry the ball last week. Ponderosa has to break through a Windsor defense that completely shut down Vista Ridge a week ago.”

    Hear the game on Orange and Blue 760 or through their stream via iHeartRadio.

    2A: Weld Central at University

    Game time: 7 p.m.

    Station: 1310 KFKA

    On the call: Clark Johnson (Play by play), Mike Danson (Color)

    Preps director Tanner Schwindt on the matchup: “Weld Central will be looking to bounce back after a tough opening loss against Englewood and look to find a quarterback in the process. University on the other hand is 1-1 and if they want to try and put together back to back wins they need to rely on that running game and an aggressive pass rush.”

    Hear the game on 1310 KFKA or at 1310kfka.com.
