Football roundup: No. 5 Roosevelt gets a big win over No. 8 Berthoud in 3A

(@Spartans_BHS/Twitter)

Roosevelt football beat Berthoud on Friday night in a key Class 3A matchup.

For starters, it was a top-10 win, with the No. 5 Roughriders topping the No. 8 Spartans. Second, it was a win in the Class 3A Tri-Valley League, which is probably the best league in the state regardless of classification. Third, Roosevelt is now 5-2.

But most importantly: It helped the Roughriders move up in the 3A RPI standings from No. 13 to No. 8.

Roosevelt rallied from down 12-7 to take a 15-12 lead at halftime, and led 22-12 after three quarters.

3A: Fort Morgan 17, (6) Silver Creek 7

Fort Morgan not only pulled off the upset, but moved to 2-0 in the Northern League. Both conference wins followed a three-game losing streak.

“We changed it up this week,” Mustangs coach Harrison Chisum told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We had a lot of competitions and a lot more fun in practice, and it kind of helped with our energy level.”

Donovan Moya had an interception return for a score to help Fort Morgan win on Friday.

“He’s a competitor, and that was a huge pick-six to start the second half,” Chisum said.

Both teams are now 4-3 this season.

Football roundup: Ralston Valley knocks off 4A No. 1 Pine Creek

(NFHS Network)

Ralston Valley football picked up a huge win on Friday night, knocking off top-ranked Pine Creek and ending the Eagles’ state-best 15-game winning streak.

The Mustangs grabbed a 17-7 lead at halftime thanks to a field goal as time expired. They then held on in the second half, including one last stop with a minute left to seal the win.

Ralston Valley, a Class 5A program, is now 2-3 this season following an 0-3 start. Pine Creek, which plays in 4A, drops to 4-1.

Both teams begin conference play next week.

Blake Stenstrom threw two touchdown passes, Joshia Davis rushed for 118 and a score and caught a TD pass, and the Eagles got yet another big win in their non-conference slate.

Valor Christian is now 5-0.

“We feel like playing great teams helps us refine what we need to do,” Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We’re not scared to lose. This is the first time in five, six, seven years that we’ve actually been undefeated out of our non-conference. If you’re not scared to lose, then these games are really good, because it helps you grow.”

Sherman pointed to his team’s ability to run the football, and stop Cherry Creek from doing the same, as one of the differences in the game.

“With a team like Creek, they’re so talented and they do such a great job coaching, if you let them be balanced, you’re in trouble,” he said. “And ultimately we ran the ball really well and we stopped the run.”

1A: Aspen 34, Coal Ridge 28

Aspen entered 4-0, and Coal Ridge was 3-1, so their matchup on Friday was a good one. Ultimately, the Skiers won 34-28 to improved to 5-0.

Aspen won just two games last season, and hadn’t won five games in a season since 2013. It’s Aspen’s best start since opening 7-0 in 2010.

“We challenged (the kids) to understand what it takes to be successful,” Aspen coach Karson Pike told the Scoreboard Show about the team’s turnaround. “They did a good job this summer and this spring. … That’s really where we grew up.”

2A: (5) La Junta 21, (3) The Classical Academy 11

The Tigers picked up a big top-five win a week after dropping another top-five matchup.

“It was a big win for us to get back on the winning track,” La Junta coach Clint Buderus told the Scoreboard Show. “The kids played good. It was huge for us.”

La Junta, the defending 2A champion, had its 16-game winning streak snapped last Saturday in a loss to now No. 1 Kent Denver. So this win was a big bounce-back following that game.

“We played better tonight,” Buderus said.

1A: (1) Bennett 76, (10) Clear Creek 36

The top-ranked Tigers handed Clear Creek its first loss this season.

Bennett rushed for more than 600 yards in the game, including 515 in the first half.

Bennett, which reached the semifinals last season, is now 5-0 this season. Clear Creek is 4-1.

8-man (3) Haxtun 29, (8) Dayspring Christian 21

A fourth-quarter touchdown lifted Haxtun to the win and a 5-0 start this season.

Dayspring Christian is now 3-2.

Aguilar wins first football game since 2005, ending 30-game streak

Aguilar football won a football game for the first time in a decade on Friday, ending a 30-game losing streak in the process.

The Wildcats, a 6-man program which last won a game on Sept. 9, 2005, beat Antonito 25-6 to improve to 1-2 this season.

“The feeling was — there are no words that can express the feelings for us and the kids right now,” first-year Aguilar coach Joseph Porras said on Friday evening. “Those boys worked their butts off. They deserved it. It’s long overdue.”

Aguilar didn’t field a team from 2007-09, nor in 2011-13, so that accounts for their relative lack of games since 2005. The team went 2-5 in 2005, losing the final five games, then 0-8 in 2006, 0-8 in 2010, 0-7 last season, and lost its first two this year.

“We were aware of (the losing streak), but we were trying to keep the past in the past and trying to go forward into the future,” Porras said.

After the final whistle on Friday night, though, “It changed,” Porras said. “And it felt good.”

Aguilar has eight players on its roster, so it makes practices a little tough.

“It’s tough. It really is,” Porras said. “We can do our offense with the kids, and then we’ve got two defenders. When I put them in to defense, I don’t have anybody to run offense. So it is, it’s tough. These kids, like I said, they’ve been working hard since August.”

Ten years later, Aguilar has another W.

“It has been emotional all day, for the kids, for me,” Porras said. “It’s been something spectacular. Like I said, it’s been long overdue. It’s been 10 years.

“This is all about the kids,” the coach added. “And that’s why I’m here. It’s not for me, it’s not for anybody else. It’s for the boys. It’s for the school.

“They won’t forget it,” he continued. “And they deserve it because they did it themselves. I only gave them the direction.”
