  • Football roundup: Rifle wins No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup over Delta; top-10 games all around

    (@riflefootball/Twitter)

    A 27-point second quarter sparked the win as Rifle won the battle of the top two teams in Class 2A football.

    The top-ranked Bears (6-0) beat No. 2 Delta, 47-29.

    “It was a really neat environment, and I couldn’t be more proud of our kids,” Rifle coach Damon Wells told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “It was a close football game, and that’s what you would expect with a team like Delta. Their kids are tough, and I know Ben Johnson is going to have them prepared.”

    Rifle trailed 3-0 early, but then scored 21 unanswered points to go up 21-3 late in the second quarter. The Bears led 27-9 at halftime.

    Delta narrowed the lead to 27-17 with five minutes to play in the third quarter, but Rifle had an answer, going up 33-17 a minute into the fourth.

    Rifle had six rushing touchdowns in the win.

    “We ran the football, but we were able to throw it in some pretty high-leverage situations,” Wells said. “I was pretty happy with how our kids responded throughout the night.”

    The Bears held a high-scoring Delta offense well below its average of 45.6 points.

    “Our kids played hard, and our defensive staff really put together a great plan,” Wells said. “We were a little more exotic with our blitzes than we had been, and I think that paid off.”

    5A: (6) Regis Jesuit 39, (10) Legend 21

    The Raiders flexed their muscles in a big top-10 win.

    David Dody rushed for five touchdowns for Regis Jesuit in the game, and the Raiders are now 7-0. Nicco Marichiol also had a 35 yard TD pass to Bryce Sloan in the first quarter.

    The game was tied at 7 midway through the second quarter before Dody scored two rushing touchdowns in the final five minutes of that quarter to go up 19-7 at halftime.

    3A: (1) Palmer Ridge 42, (7) Lutheran 20

    Palmer Ridge (5-1) picked up yet another big win, this time in league play, as it improved to 5-1 this season.

    Raef Ruel had three rushing touchdowns to lead the Bears, Noah Brom also rushed for a score, and Luke McAllister threw a TD pass to Anthony Roberson II.

    The game was tied 14-14 following a 95-yard kickoff return from Lutheran’s Brandon Belgrave with three minutes to play in the half. But Palmer Ridge, after punting away the ensuing possession, took the lead when Roberson II scored on a 50-yard fumble recovery.

    It was 21-14 at halftime.

    The Bears extended their lead with a 49-yard rushing score from Ruel in the third quarter, and then pushed that lead to 35-14 with a 42-yard touchdown by Ruel.

    1A: (1) Strasburg 35, (9) Highland 14

    Strasburg (6-0) jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter, fought off a Highland rally, and then secured another top-10 win.

    “It was a pretty hard-fought win,” Strasburg coach Brian Brown told the Scoreboard Show. “That’s a very good football team we played tonight, and a very good football team, and we were fortunate to come out on top.”

    With the game tied at 14, Collin Russell found Jayden Zacher for a 5-yard touchdown pass to give his team a 21-14 lead just before halftime.

    Strasburg extended its lead to 27-14 on a 15-yard rushing score by Zacher late in the third quarter, and Russell put it out of reach with a 30-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Hemphell with eight minutes left.

    Russell had three touchdown passes, and another on the ground. Jack Swanson had a receiving touchdown.

    8-man: (7) Sanford 52, (3) Mancos 24

    Kelton Gartrell was a human highlight reel for Sanford (6-0), accounting for four total touchdowns, including three rushing.

    Included in Gartrell’s haul was an 87-yard rushing score, a 93-yard rushing score and a 78-yard punt return for a score.

    “Our kids did a super job. They got off an they got their blocks,” Sanford coach Joe Cary told the Scoreboard Show. “We had a big run game from Kelton Gartrell. He just lit up the field tonight. I just can’t say enough about our boys. They came out and played a really good game tonight.”

    Mancos led 6-0 and 12-6 in the first quarter, but Sanford took the lead as the first quarter closed, and never looked back. It was 26-12 at halftime.

    Chase Moore had three rushing touchdowns in the loss for Mancos, and he now has 22 this season.

    Sanford’s defense played really well in the win.

    “Every time we had a tackle, we had 5, 6, 7 guys in the ball,” Cary said.

    8-man: (1) Sedgwick County 56, (4) Dayspring Christian 16

    With the game tied 8-8 in the first quarter, Sedgwick County (7-0) scored twice in the second to built a 22-8 halftime lead, and then put up 20 points in the third quarter to take a 42-16 lead going to the fourth quarter.

    The Cougars, four-time defending champions, scored twice more in the fourth to roll in the win.

    Sedgwick County had six rushing touchdowns, and two passing.

    “Early on, that game is a lot closer than that score shows,” Sedgwick County coach Chris Michel told the Scoreboard Show. “They’re always tough.”

    Of breaking open a tight game, Michel said, “We managed to find some seams later in the second quarter, and then in the second half.”

  • Football roundup: Pine Creek wins top-3 matchup vs. Pueblo West

    David Moore III rushed for four first-half touchdowns as top-ranked Pine Creek flexed its muscles in a win over No. 3 Pueblo West.

    The Eagles led 35-0 at the break, and went on to win 41-13. Pine Creek is now 3-1 this season, with the lone loss coming to 5A No. 3 Valor Christian.

    “David had a great game,” Pine Creek coach Todd Miller told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “He just keeps ripping off long runs. And our front is doing a good job of blocking and our receivers are chasing downfield and setting up long runs.”

    Officially, Moore rushed for 202 yards on 11 carries, with the four scores.

    “David, he’s got great vision, and he’s been doing this for a long time,” Miller added. “He’s one of the best young men I’ve been around, and one of the best football players, too.”

    4A: (4) Dakota Ridge 20, (7) Ponderosa 6

    (@DRHS_Athletics/Twitter)

    In a tight battle, Dakota Ridge held a potent Ponderosa offense in check to secure a top-10 win.

    The Eagles expanded a 7-0 halftime lead to 13-0 in the third quarter. Then when Ponderosa cut it to 13-6, Dakota Ridge put the game away with a 16-yard rushing touchdown from Ben Gulting with three minutes to play.

    “It was a great win,” coach Ron Woitalewicz told the Scoreboard Show. “Our kids played very well, and beat a very good Ponderosa team.”

    “We kinda kept the pressure on them, and we shut down the run game,” the coach added. “It’s always good to get a quality win against a good team. Sometimes it’s good to fly under the radar.”

    Dakota Ridge is now 4-0.

    A full recap of the game is available from the Denver Post.

    The Falcons, who have won at least six games each of the past three seasons, are now 4-1 so far this season.

    8-man: (5) Dayspring Christian 24, (4) Caliche 18

    In a league matchup, Dayspring Christian rallied from down 6-0 at halftime to improve to 4-0.

    “The boys really showed up tonight,” Dayspring coach Ben Fusco told the Scoreboard Show. “It was really fun to go up there and come out with a win.”

    Trailing at halftime, Fusco said, “the coaches rallied the boys, and they really responded.” Dayspring scored on its first possession of the third quarter.

    “Caliche is a physical football team, and you find that coming out here to play these Eastern teams,” Fusco said. “The boys really rallied and embraced that challenge this week. They went toe-to-toe with a couple of big boys on that Caliche squad.”

    8-man: (8) Vail Christian 12, (9) West Grand 6

    In a defensive battle, Vail Christian nailed down a top-10 win. The Saints scored both touchdowns following long drives in the second quarter.

    “Both teams played really well on defense,” coach Tim Pierson told the Scoreboard Show. “We’re grateful to get out of here with a win.”

    “We got some big tackles for losses,” he added. “The kids just played hard.”

    Vail Christian is now 4-0.
