  • Football roundup: Palisade uses its ground game to win top-10 game vs. Green Mountain

    (NFHS Network)

    Palisade’s rushing attack held off a monster game from Allen Ortiz, and the Bulldogs beat Green Mountain in a 3A top-10 battle.

    Gabe Harrison had two scores to lead Palisade’s offense, while Franklin Barks and Julio Rodriguez also scored on the ground as the eighth-ranked Bulldogs beat seventh-ranked Green Mountain 31-24.

    “We knew we had to win to stay in the hunt,” Palisade coach Joe Ramunno told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show.

    The Bulldogs are now 3-1 this season, with tough games against Conifer and Eagle Valley remaining.

    “It’s tough, you’ve got to win to stay in, I know that,” Rammuno said.

    Green Mountain’s Ortiz had four receiving touchdowns, twice scoring from 80 yards out. He also had touchdown catches of 56 and 22 yards.

    “Boy, there’s a lot of talent on the field,” Rammuno said. “Green Mountain’s got a fine football team.”

    The coach added that his team’s own passing attack helped to open the ground game.

    “We were able to have some balance offensively,” Rammuno said. “We were able to get the ball in the air a little bit, which really opened up our option game. Tremendous effort by our guys.”

    Down 6-0 after the first quarter, Palisade scored twice in the second to go up 14-6 at halftime. The second score came via a 28-yard score by Harrison.

    In the third quarter, Rodriguez pushed the lead to 21-12 with his touchdown.

    Later in that same frame, the third of Ortiz’s scores cut it to 21-18, but Palisade, and Harrison, responded. His second TD made it 28-18 late in the third.

    The score stayed that way until Rudolfo Dexter made a 40-yard field goal with four minutes to play, pushing the lead to 31-18.

    Ortiz’s final score made it 31-24 with two minutes to play, but Palisade recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock.

    Palisade’s defense had two interceptions in the win.

    4A: (9) Fountain-Fort Carson 35, (8) Pueblo West 21

    A close game throughout, the Trojans get a key touchdown from Q Jones with 5:54 to play that made it 35-21.

    Fountain-Fort Carson led 20-7 after the first quarter, but Pueblo West slowly chipped away that that lead. It was 20-14 midway through the third quarter, and later 27-21 early in the fourth.

    But Jones’ 15-yard score seemed to put the game away:

    Fountain-Fort Carson is now 4-0 this season.

    8-man: (3) Sanford 36, (6) Dove Creek 12

    Sanford turned an 18-6 first-half lead into a big top-10 win.

    After the half, Sanford’s defense made a stop and the offense responded.

    “We came out and had a really good stop on their first possession,” Sanford coach Joe Cary told the Scoreboard Show. “Our offense started clicking a little bit better. We started figuring out some different things on how to go at them. The had two great, big linebackers that were really tough in the middle, so we had to figure out how to go around them. We had a few things that we did, and it seemed to work.”

    Sanford is now 4-0 this season, but Cary thinks they haven’t yet reached their potential.

    “I still don’t think we’ve seen our team play at the level that we want them to,” the coach said. “We’re not content with where we’re at. We’re going to keep pushing to try to get to that level.”

    6-man: (4) Granada 67, (7) Cheraw 60

    It was a shootout in a big top-10 matchup.

    Cheraw led 60-45 in the fourth quarter, but Granada was able to rally for the win.

    “It was a very, very wild football,” coach Traegon Marquez told the Scoreboard Show. “A fun one to be a part of. But ‘wild,’ I think, is a mild way to put it.”

  • Football roundup: Legend upsets Regis Jesuit in 5A top-10 matchup

    (Corey Guildner)

    Legend picked up a major top-10 win on Friday night.

    The Titans, ranked No. 10 in Class 5A, built on a hot start en route to a 31-7 road upset of No. 7 Regis Jesuit.

    The win was led by seniors Kalen Shoemaker and Connor Eise, who each had two touchdowns: Shoemaker with one throwing and one rushing, and Eise with two on the ground.

    Legend is now off to a 3-0 start for the second consecutive season, and the win marked a program first for the Titans, who had yet to beat Regis Jesuit. The schools met each of the past two seasons.

    Five minutes in, Legend took a 7-0 lead when Eise snuck in on the left side from 1-yard out.

    Then early in the second quarter, on third down, Shoemaker rolled to his right and threw back left, finding Carter Helfrich on a 10-yard score that made it 14-0.

    A few minutes after that, Shoemaker dashed 90 yards on the ground to make it 21-0.

    Regis scored just before halftime to cut the lead to 21-7 when Dervin Taylor scored up the middle from 10 yards out.

    Legend added a 25-yard field goal from Caden Smith, and it was 24-7.

    In the fourth, Eise capped the scoring with a 25-yard touchdown.

    6-man: (1) Fleming 32, (5) Prairie 8

    Scoreless at halftime, and a one-score game after three quarters, Fleming broke things open to come up with a major top-5 win on Friday night.

    “We did some things well, and there’s some things we definitely have to work on, but I guess we did enough well,” Fleming coach John King told the Scoreboard Show.

    A defensive struggle through the first two quarters, Fleming scored two touchdowns in the first minute of the third quarter to go up 16-0.

    “We finally kind of settled down and started executing better offensively, and then really had all the momentum in the world,” King said. “The next two possessions in a row, we turned the ball over. We could have really taken the game over, but we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot and let them hang around.”

    Prairie scored two minutes after that, making it 16-8 heading to the final frame.

    Fleming scored on the third play of that fourth quarter, pushing their lead to 24-8, and added a final score with 4:31 to play on fourth down.

    “It was a really nice battle for us,” King said. “We had some kids who are starting for us the first time this year.”

    2A: (3) Sterling 31, (5) Platte Valley 21

    Kaeden Sheets threw four touchdowns as Sterling held off a rally from Platte Valley to win the top-5 battle.

    Sheets’ big night started off with three first-quarter touchdowns, two to Tucker Myers, as the Tigers built an 18-0 lead.

    Sterling’s lead grew to 24-7 with 6:12 to play in the third quarter when Sheets found Jackson Keil from 6 yards out.

    Platte Valley rallied. McDaniel had a 2-yard run with 4:35 left in the third, and two minutes after that, McDaniel hit Lauer for a 12-yard score to make it 24-21.

    In the fourth quarter, Peyton Rose sealed the game with an 8-yard run.

    A week after dropping a tough game to Roosevelt in OT, No. 5 Mead rebounded in a big way with a win over No. 6 Fort Morgan.

    “It was a fun night to be a part of Mead,” Mead coach Jason Klatt told the Scoreboard Show.

  • Centauri football’s Mason Claunch among impressive stat leaders

    (Curt Wilson/North Conejos SD)

    It looks like whenever the Centauri Falcons need a touchdown, it’s as easy as handing the ball off to Mason Claunch.

    The junior running back has been more than impressive this season, scoring nine touchdowns on just 11 carries. He has also totaled 268 rushing yards, giving him an average of 24.4 yards per carry.

    He also has two receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown. He’s touched the ball a total of 13 times and has 10 touchdowns to his name.

    Of all the players in Colorado that are off to a hot start, Claunch could be off the the best. The Falcons are 2-0 on the year and head to Del Norte on Friday, hoping to remain unbeaten after three weeks.

    Among other significant running backs this year is Fountain-Fort Carson senior Q. Jones (476 yards, nine touchdowns) and Erie’s Mason VeVe (460 yards, six touchdowns).

    From a passing standpoint, Smoky Hill’s Leslie Richardson III is also adding to already impressive career numbers. Richardson has thrown the ball 66 times for 610 yards and nine touchdowns. Perhaps the most impressive part of his season is the fact that he has kept the ball out of opposing hands. He has yet to throw an interception and that includes in a loss to defending Class 5A state champion Cherry Creek.

    Richardson is just one of two quarterbacks in the state to throw at least 60 passes and not be intercepted. Fairview’s Liam O’Brien is the other.

    Summit’s Aidan Collins would be anyone’s favorite receiving target with the numbers he’s putting up this season. He’s hauled in 16 receptions for 445 yards and eight touchdowns in the two games the Tigers have played this season.

    Fossil Ridge sophomore Mac Busteed is the only other player in the state with at least 300 receiving yards. He has 310 yards on 14 catches, five of which have gone for touchdowns.

    A lot of players are finding ways to get to opposing quarterbacks, but Holoyoke’s Joey Beckner and Cheyenne Mountain’s Jake Boley are the only two in the state to have recorded four sacks.

    Banning Lewis junior Nate Early is quickly helping the Stallions become a defensive powerhouse as he leads the state with six interceptions. Five players behind him have picked off three passes, including Lamar’s Damian Ramos.

    With Week 3 games slated to start on Thursday night, more players will try to put together notable performances to help their lead their teams to a win.

  • Football roundup: Roosevelt knocks off No. 1 Mead in OT by stopping two-point conversion

    Roosevelt defense stepped up in a monster moment on Friday night.

    The fifth-ranked Roughriders, who had battled with Mead all night, held firm on a two-point conversion attempt to knock off the No. 1 team in Class 3A, 21-20.

    Roosevelt got the ball first in overtime, and took just one play to score: Quarterback Brig Hartson found Keaton Kaiser for the score. The extra point was good, and then Mead’s offense took the field.

    Likewise, the Mavericks needed just one play to score, when Brayden Keys dashed in for six. Mead coach Jason Klatt opted to go for the two-point conversion.

    That’s when Roosevelt’s defense stuffed a run up the middle, setting off a celebration in Johnstown.

    Roosevelt opened the game with a touchdown on its first drive, finished off when Brig Hartson found Tucker Peterson for a 19-yard touchdown pass.

    The game stayed 7-0 until the third quarter, when Evan Morris tied the game up for Mead with a 1-yard rushing score.

    Hartson, who ended the game with three touchdown passes, put Roosevelt up 14-7 with a 4-yard touchdown to Jadyn Herrera early in the fourth. But Mead responded quickly with a 74-yard pass from Porter Eastin to Corby Tecu, and the game eventually found its way to overtime.

    Roosevelt is now 2-0, while Mead moves to 1-1.

    2A: (3) Sterling 14, (5) Eaton 10

    The defending champions built a 14-3 lead at the break, and went on to win.

    The Tigers’ defense had an outstanding game, and even scored a touchdown.

    “It was a tough game, a hard-fought contest,” Sterling coach Rob Busmente told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “It kind of went back and forth there for a while. Teams were battling and putting together some drives. It was back-and-forth, back-and-forth, and fortunately we were able to make a couple of stops and get a couple of takeaways.”

    8-man: Haxtun 38, (3) Dayspring Christian 36

    Michael Gerk had four touchdowns, Owen Knode added three, according to KPMX Sports, and Haxtun came away with a monster win for its program.

    The Fightin’ Bulldogs established themselves with a scoring drive right out of the gate.

    “We jumped out pretty quick on a nice, long drive, and our offensive line kind of set the tone,” coach J.D. Stone told the Scoreboard Show.

    Haxtun rebounded from an opening-week loss.

    “We were really disappointed last week,” Stone said. “I think we grew a lot from that loss. The team really came together … and had a great week of practice.”

    3A: (10) Lutheran 57, (4) Discovery Canyon 17

    The Lions jumped all over the Thunder early and often, leading 28-0 after the first quarter en route to the big win.

    “Putting up the points early got us a lot of confidence,” Lutheran coach Stephen Robbins told the Scoreboard Show. “We just pounded it with tempo, and kept going at it. And our linemen up front. I’ll tell you: It’s one of the best O-line groups I’ve had in a decade. They got hungry and they kept going, and that just kind of propelled us.

    “I think that was the difference-maker, was how we came out of the gate.”

    Robbins said that the win could be “a program-changer.”

    “We felt like last year, we left quite a bit on the field, especially against Discovery Canyon,” Robbins said. “So like I said, it’s a program-changer. Kids believe a little bit more, and it gets the community excited as well.”

    6-man: (1) Stratton/Liberty 66, (7) Eads 27

    The Knighted Eagles came away with a big top-10 win, but coach Toby Kechter said they lost returning first-team all-state running back Jarret Lichty to an arm injury.

    “We got up 16-0, and our best player, and in my opinion, the best player in the state, Jarret Lichty, he dislocated his elbow and broke his arm. Our young kids stepped up and played awesome the rest of the game. Eads is a high-quality team. Our kids, they played for him. They stepped up and played with all their hearts. It was great to see.”
