And though No. 3 Windsor had its chances deep in Pine Creek territory, the Eagles’ defense held firm. The last big play came with 3:57 remaining when Pine Creek intercepted a pass at its own 6-yard-line.
“Our defense stood the test, and had two great stands inside our 20,” coach Todd Miller told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “They kind of bowed their necks and were able to dig in. … Right now, we’re living on our defense.”
This matchup marked the fourth time in the past five seasons that the two teams have met, including twice in the postseason. Pine Creek has won all four matchups.
Pine Creek is now 2-0 after beating 5A ThunderRidge last week. The Eagles host Fountain-Fort Carson next week.
Windsor drops to 1-1, and plays at Broomfield next week.

5A: (9) Mullen at (3) Regis Jesuit
The Mustangs stunned their rival with a comeback that saw Mullen take the lead for the first time with three seconds left in the game.
Regis Jesuit had led the entire game, and the Raiders were up 39-26 with 2:56 remaining, but Mullen recovered a late fumble on the 47-yard-line, scored on a pass play, and then got an onside kick with 50 seconds remaining.
That set up the winning touchdown, with quarterback Dominic Depizzol throwing a 6-yard touchdown to Alonzo Moon on fourth-and-2. The point-after was good, and that gave the Mustangs the win.
Depizzol had six passing touchdowns, four of which went to Wind Henderson.
Regis Jesuit quarterback Justin Lamb threw three touchdowns. Kiahn Martinez had a rushing TD.

4A/3A: (10) Pueblo West 36, (5) Pueblo East 14
Pueblo West handed Pueblo East its first in-city loss since 2014.
“They’re a quality program. We knew we were going to have to play a good game,” Cyclones coach Monte Pinkerton told the Scoreboard Show. “We were able to finish a little bit stronger than we did last year, and were able to pull it off.”
The Cyclones were led by their defense on Friday night.
“We’ve got a bunch of guys that just like to fly around,” Pinkerton said.
