  • Football roundup: Windsor clinches league title with OT win over Skyline

    Windsor broke up a two-point conversion attempt in overtime to seal a wild 56-55 win over Skyline and wrap up the Northern League championship on Friday.

    The fifth-ranked Wizards had led 49-33 with 5:47 remaining, but Skyline came storming back to tie the game at 49 following two touchdowns and two-point conversions.

    Windsor scored first in overtime — quarterback Connor Apodaca faked a handoff up the middle and ran to an open end zone to his left — but No. 10 Skyline again responded. The Falcons’ Nathan McGregor hit Austin Robison on a play-action pass on fourth-down.

    Skyline then went for two, its fourth such attempt of the game. This time the pass was broken up in the left side of the end zone. According to the Fort Collins Coloradoan, it was senior Bryce Kellum who had the big play.

    The result was a Windsor win, and a conference championship. The Wizards are now 8-1 this season, and 4-0 in their league. Every other Northern team has at least two league losses.

    Skyline is now 7-2, including 2-2 in the Northern.

    “It was awesome,” Kellum told the paper of the win. “Just awesome.”

    Windsor led 35-20 at halftime, a lead secured by a key interception from junior Tayt Gallatin in the end zone.

    Noah Montague had two rushing scores for the Wizards, including a 91-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Isaiah Salazar also rushed for two touchdowns, according to the Coloradoan’s Kevin Lytle.

    Skyline’s star running back Jeremy Hollingsworth had two touchdowns. McGregor had four total touchdowns, including a pass to Jack Wathen with 15.7 seconds left in regulation that helped tie the game.

  • Football roundup: Erie makes a statement with another top-10 win

    (Steven Higgins)

    A week after beating sixth-ranked Silver Creek, Erie football has another top-10 feather in its cap.

    On Friday night, the Tigers, now ranked No. 3 in Class 3A, beat No. 4 Berthoud 33-7.

    “Playing in the Tri-Valley (League), it doesn’t get any easier,” coach Chad Cooper told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show after the game. “I told our kids to enjoy this one tonight, but tomorrow morning we’re back to work and getting ready for Holy Family.

    “It’s kind of similar to a playoff run where you can’t let down,” Cooper continued. “It’ll be good to kind of prepare us for the playoffs. You can’t have any let downs in the playoffs. It’ll be a great test for us.”

    Erie’s Jacob Mansdorfer hit Alex Mathis with a touchdown pass just before the end of the first half to push the Tigers’ lead to 20-7.

    Noah Roper rushed for two second-half touchdowns, and also recovered two fumbles on defense. He returned one of those for a touchdown. Roper had 165 yards rushing.

    “Noah, obviously, is a talented kid. He kind of does it all for us,” Cooper said. “He runs extremely hard and is able to grind on people, too, with the style that we have on offense.”

    6-man: (5) Prairie 44, (1) Peetz 41

    Prairie got the go-ahead score with 11.8 seconds remaining to secure the upset of previously unbeaten Peetz.

    “It was just a dive to the right to Trenton Holzworth, one of our seniors, and he was able to power through a couple of kids and was able to get the ball in,” coach Justin Kerns told the Scoreboard Show of the winning score.

    Prairie is now 6-0 this season.

    “The players here are excited, the kids are excited,” Kerns said.

    Tied at 21 at halftime, Platte Valley reeled of 21 unanswered points in the second half to secure a big win and move to 6-0 this season.

    “It was one heck of a game up here for homecoming week, that’s for sure,” coach Troy Hoffman told the Scoreboard Show.

    Hoffman praised his team’s effort on defense, which forced four turnovers.

    “The kids created some opportunities and some turnovers,” Hoffman said. “We just needed to do that, play a little more aggressive in the second half, and when you get four turnovers, a lot of times good things happen for you, and it sure did for us tonight.

    Senior Zach Waite had four touchdowns, including runs of 55 and 50 yards, and Ernseto Rios and Trevon Wehrman also score the the Mustangs.

    Platte Valley had more than 400 yards of total offense.

  • Paonia girls basketball complete undefeated 2A title run

    Paonia girls basketball champions
    (Cannon Casey/CHSAANow.com)

    LOVELAND — The perfect season is finally complete after Paonia girls basketball topped Wray 59-42 in the Class 2A championship game.

    Even sweeter was a shot at redemption that didn’t go to waste.

    An entire year has passed since the Paonia girls basketball team last suffered defeat, but the 2016 runners-up held on to that memory until it was finally made right on Saturday night at the Budweiser Events Center.

    Back in the Class 2A state championship game for the second straight season, this time the Eagles brought home their first title since 2010 with the win over Wray.

    “It’s an unbelievable feeling that’s hard to describe because it hasn’t all set in yet,” said senior forward McKenna Hartigan. “It was a full team effort and I couldn’t have done it without them. We were done with silver and ready for gold.”

    Paoinia (25-0) and Wray (19-7) exchanged offensive strikes in a tight first quarter that finished tied 13-13 after senior Brittany Kendall hit a half-court shot to beat the buzzer.

    In the ensuing quarter is when Paonia started to distance itself from its opponent when Hartigan began to find her groove. She poured in nine of her team-high 16 points in that frame to help her team build the 11-point cushion they entered halftime with.

    “That was big. I feel that McKenna (Hartigan) is the one who bailed us out there in the first half. She played a fantastic game,” coach Scott Rienks said. “We also had a lot of the other experienced players step up and help that effort later on.”

    Continuously adding to its lead, Paonia spread the wealth among its senior-heavy lineup.

    Sophia Anderson finished the game with 16 points to join Hartigan’s team-high mark. Emily Peiper also reach double figures with 11 points of her own, while McKenna Palmer contributed seven.

    “It was such an amazing experience to share with all of my teammates,” Hartigan said. “This is what we’ve always stayed working for.”

    Wray’s campaign at adding to its seven program titles, which ranks third among all classifications, fell short, but also had its share of high moments. The Eagles knocked off their rival and defending champion Yuma the day prior to earn a berth in the title game.

    Leading Wray on Saturday was 24 points from Morgan Smith, which led all scorers from both teams.

    Paonia’s undefeated 25-0 mark was the exclamation point to end it all, standing as the program’s best-ever record just in front of the 2010 team that finished 25-1.

    “That 2010 team sent messages and flowers to the girls before the game,” Rienks said. “It’s just special because we’re all still family.”
