  • Football roundup: Fairview’s Aidan Atkinson tosses 100th career touchdown; Phil Bravo wins No. 300

    Fairview Boulder football
    (Steve Oathout)

    Fairview quarterback Aidan Atkinson threw his 100th career touchdown pass during his team’s win over Legacy on Friday night.

    Atkinson, a senior who is committed to Northwestern, threw seven touchdown passes (and 349 yards) in the win, including four in the first half. When the night was over, he ended up with 102 career TDs.

    Atkinson becomes the fifth quarterback in state history to throw 100 touchdowns in his career.

    It was the seventh time in Atkinson’s career that he has thrown at least seven touchdowns. In last season’s game against Legacy, Atkinson broke the 11-man football record with nine touchdowns.

    The Knights beat Legacy 49-31 on Friday, thanks in large part to a 28-3 halftime lead. Legacy came out first in the second half, with a touchdown, onside kick, and another touchdown — but Fairview, when it finally got the ball back, responded right away with another touchdown from Atkinson.

    Four of Atkinson’s TDs went to Henry Blackburn. Fairview, ranked No. 9, is now 5-1 this season.

    Monarch beat Gateway 32-6 on Friday, giving their coach, Phil Bravo, the 300th win of his career.

    Bravo has a head coach in Colorado at Centaurus and later Monarch since 1991, and was at Whittier Christian (Calif.) from 1986-90 prior to that.

    1A: (4) Florence 38, (9) Rye 6

    In the lone matchup of top-10 teams on Friday night, Florence made a statement as the Huskies remained unbeaten at 5-0.

    Florence running back Owen Busetti rushed for 294 yards and four touchdowns in the win, according to Austin White of the Pueblo Chieftain.

    “He’s a great kid. And he’s the type of kid that’s done everything right in the offseason,” Jeremy Nix told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show after the game. “He’s special. He makes the coaches look good at times, and he does good things, he makes good cuts, good decisions. And the O-line is doing a heck of a job for him, too.”

    Florence will continue its tough league schedule as the season rolls along, including contests against St. Mary’s, Buena Vista, Centauri, and Colorado Springs Christian.

    “This is the grind part of our season,” Nix said, “so we’ll know what we’re made of, and our character will get tested.”

    Here’s a full story from the Chieftain.

  • Football roundup: Palisade wins top-10 3A showdown at Durango

    Quarterback Cam Tucker had two rushing TD as No. 2 Palisade rallied from down 11-10 at the half for a big win over No. 10 Durango.

    The Bulldogs won, 25-18.

    The game was tied at 18 with seven minutes to play, according to the Durango Herald, when Tucker led his team down the field again, and Palisade took a 25-17 lead with 3:23 to go when backup quarterback Gabe Harrison scored on the ground.

    “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 Durango Herald has a complete game story from this matchup.

    4A: (4) Broomfield 38, (2) Loveland 12


    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

    8-man: (1) Sedgwick County 34, (2) Hoehne 0

    The four-time defending champions made quite a statement as they pushed their early-season record to 2-0.

    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.”

    3A: (7) Discovery Canyon 35, (5) Roosevelt 21

    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.
