Lutheran stunned third-ranked Green Mountain with a 19-15 upset victory in Class 3A.
Brandon Belgrave had an 85-yard kickoff return for a score to open the game, and he added an 80-yard rushing touchdown later in the second quarter.
After Lutheran went up 6-0, Green Mountain and their star QB Trey Towndrown responded with a 10-yard TD on the ground to take a 7-6 lead.
It stayed that way until Belgrave’s second-quarter touchdown, which allowed Lutheran to take a 12-7 lead into halftime.
Towndrow struck again for Green Mountain in the third, this time on a 3-yard rushing touchdown, and the Rams added a two-point conversion to go ahead 15-12.
But Lutheran wasn’t done. The Lions’ Max Rivkin found Andre Norman for a 30-yard touchdown with four minutes left in the third quarter, giving their team a 19-15 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
Eaglecrest rallied from a 17-7 halftime hole, and down 24-7 in the third quarter, to win the back-and-forth contest — thanks in large part to 20 unanswered points.
Max Marsh had for three total touchdowns, including two in the final quarter, to help the Raptors rally and win.
Eaglecrest, led by Marsh, grabbed an early lead on a 2-yard run by Marsh in the first quarter. Legacy kicked a field goal to make it 7-3 going to the second.
In the second, Brayden Harris hit Jacob Duran for a 33-yard passing touchdown, and then Braelon Tate rushed for a 2-yard score to put Legacy ahead 17-7.
The Lightning pushed their lead to 24-7 when Harris hit Jaiden Peterson for a 2-yard touchdown with about five minutes to play in the third quarter.
And yet Eaglecrest was unfazed. David Creal rushed for an 8-yard score in the third to make it 24-14 going to the fourth.
And then Marsh did his thing with a 63-yard rushing touchdown, cutting the lead to 24-21, and then a 55-yard passing score to Ty Robinson, to give his team the lead — and the win.
The Raiders rallied to beat their rival after trailing 21-14 at halftime.
“Anytime we play Mullen … both teams come ready to play,” Regis Jesuit coach Danny Filleman told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “It’s just a rivalry where no one is going to give up and no one is going to give in.”
“We just stuck with it and our kids just kept playing,” Filleman added. “They kept fighting until the end. It shows the character of this team.”
Castle View beat Douglas County 28-3 to win their rivalry game for the fifth consecutive season. The Saber Cats are now 4-0, their best start since 2011.
“Our kids really work hard in Basalt, and I think it really shows on Friday nights,” Basalt coach Carl Frerichs told the Scoreboard Show of his team’s 3-0 start. The Longhorns, No. 9 in 2A, beat Pagosa Springs 39-19.
Silver Creek upset 4A No. 9 Windsor 17-14, and is now 3-0 after winning three games last season. “We’ve got a group of kids that have bought in,” coach Brian McGee told the Scoreboard Show. “They’ve worked hard all summer, they’ve done everything we’ve asked them to do, and they’re committed to what we’re trying to accomplish.”
Two 2A top-10 teams fell to out-of-state opponents. No. 2 Sterling lost to Scottsbluff, Neb., 36-13, and No. 10 Bayfield lost to Aztec, N.M., 16-14.
Lamar knocked off 1A No. 8 Burlington 43-27.
In 8-man, Vail Christian upset No. 7 Rangely 34-22.

“It was a tough battle,” Palisade coach Joe Ramunno told the Scoreboard Show.
Palisade had a few long drives in the second half which helped them keep Durango’s offense off the field.
“We were able to put some long drives together,” Ramunno said. “Early in the game, we turned the ball over and it cost us a couple of scoring opportunities. But that’s all part of it. We really rallied in the second half, and held on to the ball, and had some long drives that ate a lot of clock — we were having a really hard time stopping them, because they’re very explosive.”
Harrison was in the game because Tucker injured his ankle, Ramunno said, adding that he wasn’t yet sure how serious it was.
“It was a tough deal, but our team rallied to finish it off,” Ramunno said.
The Eagles ended Loveland’s 14-game losing streak, knocking off the defending champions.
“We really got off to a fast start in the first half,” Broomfield coach Blair Hubbard told the Scoreboard Show. “We returned a kickoff for a touchdown, and our defense really played well in the first half, as well.”
“Defensively, it’s just a total team effort,” Hubbard said. “Tonight, against an offense like Loveland, it has to be a total team effort. And the guys really worked hard through the week. … It’s very difficult to stop their offense
The four-time defending champions made quite a statement as they pushed their early-season record to 2-0.
Despite leading just 6-0 at halftime, the Cougars scored 22 points in the third quarter to go ahead 28-0.
Sedgwick County had three rushing touchdowns, and two passing touchdowns in the win.

3A/4A: (3A 3) Mead 42, (4A 7) Skyline 14
Mead raced out to a big lead in the first half and never looked back in a big win.
The Mavericks led 27-0 at the half thanks to a 20-0 second-quarter advantage, and extended that lead to 42-0 with three minutes to play in the third quarter.
“It was a fun night,” Mead coach Jason Klatt told the Scoreboard Show. “I’m proud of our guys.”
Skyline’s potent offense didn’t get on the board until the fourth quarter.
“It really shows the effort that our defense gave tonight,” Klatt said. “They’re not going to get the credit they deserve, but, man, it was one heck of an effort.”
Discovery Canyon built a 21-7 halftime lead, and then went on to secure the top-10 victory.
Marshall Pike rushed for three touchdowns, and Jonah Isakson hit Ethan Hall for a passing score.
“The guys stayed calmed and focused, and we were able to move the ball pretty well,” Discovery Canyon coach Shawn Mitchell said. “The offense did a really nice job putting together some good touchdowns.”
“Just overall really happy with the way we played tonight. It wasn’t perfect, but we did a lot of things right.”

1A: (5) Holyoke 21, (2) Colorado Springs Christian 6
Holyoke built a 14-0 lead at halftime, and then added a fourth-quarter touchdown after CSCS cut the lead to 14-6 in the third.
“We played a great team defense, and played together,” Holyoke coach Dusty Sprague told the Scoreboard Show. “That’s what it takes. CSCS is a great team, and those backs are great backs.”
Holyoke is now 2-0 this season.

2A: (8) Sterling 7, (10) Eaton 0
(Adam Bright/CHSAANow.com)
Scoreless through three quarters, and much of the fourth, Sterling scored the game’s lone touchdown with 2:34 to play in the final quarter.
Quarterback Brock Shalla scored on a 6-yard touchdown as the Tigers captured the top-10 victory, and improved to 2-0 this season.
With losses by Loveland and Valor Christian on Friday, the longest winning streak in the state now belongs to La Junta and Limon, who have each won 14 consecutive games dating back to last season.
Don’t look now, but Pueblo South is now 2-0 after two top-ten wins in 3A. The No. 8 Colts beat No. 4 Erie on the road Friday, 28-10.
A top-10 matchup in 1A: Strasburg 19, Burlington 6.
In 2A, No. 9 Resurrection Christian knocked off No. 3 Faith Christian 27-19.
Silver Creek, 2-8 a season ago, is now 2-0 following a 49-0 win over Centaurus on Friday.
Riverdale Ridge has won the first varsity game in program history. The Ravens, who went 0-8 in their inaugural season last year, beat Jefferson 23-6.
Lutheran, a 3A program, beat 2A No. 1 Platte Valley 26-7.
In 8-man, No. 4 Fowler beat No. 10 Sargent 50-27. The Grizzlies are now 2-0. “If the boys keep working, I think we’ll be a pretty good football team towards the end,” coach Mark Van Sickle told the Scoreboard Show.
In 6-man, No. 3 Stratton/Liberty beat No. 4 Prairie 60-34. “It was better, but still a long way to go,” said Stratton/Liberty coach Toby Kechter, whose team dropped an opening game to Kit Carson last week.
A cross-town rivalry matchup between Fossil Ridge and Fort Collins went to overtime, and Fossil won, 28-21.
Alamosa beat rival Monte Vista. “It’s huge. It gets the boys believing, and gets the town behind me a little bit,” first-year coach Drew Sandlin told the Scoreboard Show.
