  • 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.

    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.

  • Defensive lockdown in second half lifts Rye football to first 4-0 start in a decade

    Rye Rocky Ford football
    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    RYE — The last time that Rye football had started a season 4-0, Conner Pigg was wearing pads and helmet. On Friday night he was wearing a headset and watching his players match that feat from a decade ago.

    The Class 1A No. 10 Thunderbolts outlasted Rocky Ford 13-12 in a game that was much closer than the final score would indicate. Mistakes were made on both sides and big plays were made at key moments that can only leave Pigg wondering what this version of Rye football is capable of.

    “The sky is the limit,” Pigg said. “The question isn’t how good are we? It’s how far can we go?”

    After giving up a touchdown on the Meloneers (0-3 overall) first drive of the game, a 12-yard run from Isiah Garcia, Rye (4-0) got on the board thanks to a 33-yard run from Kreed Rahl. But the Thunderbolts struggled to stop the Meloneers defensively in the first half, even if Rocky Ford couldn’t muster up the points to show for it.

    “We knew we had to turn it on,” Rahl said. “This was a better team than we had faced all year.”

    And it was going to serve as a vital lesson. It appeared that Rye was going to get out of the first half with a 7-6 lead, but the first place after the defense intercepted Garcia, the Thunderbolts fumbled the ball right back to Rocky Ford, setting up first down in the red zone.

    Rye Rocky Ford football
    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    Garcia found Jadon Baldonado in the end zone to put Rocky Ford up 12-7 at the half.

    “We had to come out confident (after that),” Krahl said. “We couldn’t come out sad or feeling sorry for ourselves.”

    Instead they came out motivated.

    The Thunderbolts defense forced a punt on the first Rocky Ford possession of the half of played much more precise than the first 24 minutes of the game.

    “We didn’t adjust anything, honestly,” Pigg claimed.

    They just tackled better. The head coach counted 10 missed tackles in the first half and told his team that it wouldn’t survive the second half with similar numbers. And on top of keeping the Meloneers out of the end zone, Rye had to find its way in.

    That’s when quarterback Hayden Polk made some magic happen. On fourth down, it appeared that Polk got swallowed up by the Rocky Ford defensive line, but out of nowhere he broke free and went for a 38-yard touchdown to make it a 13-12 game.

    “I don’t know how I broke away,” Polk said. “I just started spinning and praying that I could somehow get out of there. I just got lucky.”

    As evidenced by the last 10 years, a 4-0 start takes more than luck. This team is showing to have the right combination of personnel and execution, with maybe a friendly bounce mixed in here and there. But hey know one thing is for certain, if this team is going to make a special run it has to be willing to face tough competition and that trend will continue in two weeks when Florence rolls into town.

    “We’ve never been pushed to our limits this year,” Polk said. “Hopefully we can transfer this to Florence because they’ll be our biggest competition yet.”
