  • Football roundup: 6-man No. 6 North Park tops No. 10 La Veta

    Austin Bertron threw three touchdown passes and Blayden Fletcher ran for another three as 6-man’s No. 6-ranked North Park hung on to get a 41-36 win over No. 10 La Veta on Saturday.

    Bertron totaled 240 yards through the air with Bryce Carlstrom on the receiving end of all of them.

    The Wildcats (2-1 overall) jumped out to a 28-12 lead in the first half, but the Redskins (2-1) battled back in the second half. They trailed 41-20 entering the fourth quarter and put 16 points in the board in that span.

    But it wasn’t enough. The Wildcats didn’t even need to score as their 41 points were good enough to hold up for the win.

    (1) Pine Creek 21, Fountain-Fort Carson 7

    Fountain-Fort Carson grabbed an early 7-0 lead, but David Moore III found the end zone three times to give the defending Class 4A state champions a 21-7 win on Saturday.

    Dreden Bryant scored the first touchdown of the game, giving the Trojans the lead, but that the only time they would put points on the board.

    1A: (8) Platte Canyon 22, Buena Vista 20

    Platte Canyon entered the fourth quarter down by six points, but were able to eight on the board to grab a win over Buena Vista.

    The Huskies move to 3-0 and travel to Center next week.

  • Volleyball roundup: La Veta bounces back to grab a win over Springfield

    La Veta got a scare in its first set against Springfield. The Class 1A CHSAANow.com No. 8-ranked Longhorns grabbed an impressive 11-point win in that set, apparently setting the tone for the match.

    But No. 6 La Veta bounced right back to win the next three and get a 14-25, 25-20, 25-21, 28-26 win.

    La Veta moves to 6-0 on the season and look to remain undefeated when it travels to Manzaonla on Friday.

    Springfield has another looming top-10 showdown on Tuesday when it heads to Holly.
