Football roundup: Niwot football wins for the first time in two years

(@niwotathletics/Twitter)

When Niwot football grabbed a 12-7 lead over Fort Lupton at halftime on Friday, it was the first time they’d led in a game since 2016.

The Cougars weren’t satisfied with that.

They went on to win 26-13 for the program’s first win since September 2016. The victory snapped a 19-game losing streak.

Liam Flanagan rushed for three touchdowns and 154 yards on 43 carries for the Cougars. Cory Rathburn led the defense with five tackles.

Niwot is in its second season under coach Jeremy Lanter.

PrepsCast recap

A recap of the night from Colorado Preps:

[divider]

4A/3A: (4A 8) Montrose 41, (3A 8) Durango 36

The two teams traded scores all night, but it was Montrose who got the final points.

Montrose’s Emmert Kastendieck scored on a four-yard run to give his team the lead for good with 41.2 seconds to play, according to the Durango Herald.

Chris Eckerman had 220 yards and two touchdowns for Montrose, per the paper.

The game was delayed in the third quarter due a lightning in the area.

[divider]

6-man: (3) Kit Carson 50, (5) Arickaree/Woodlin 8

Kit Carson controlled the game from start to finish in moving to 2-0 this season.

“We ran the ball really well,” coach Curt Connelley told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “Our special teams really got us on the board quickly.”

Joe Bryan returned a kickoff for a touchdown, and his brother, Chris Bryan, returned a punt for a score.

[divider]

8-man: Fowler 28, (4) Akron 20

Fowler knocked off the previously-unbeaten Rams with a late score. The Grizzlies recovered a kickoff after a fortunate bounce to set up the touchdown.

“It was a lot of smashmouth football. Akron had a couple of big plays on us. They did a great job defensively,” coach Mark Van Sickle told the Scoreboard Show. “We were three- to four-yards and a cloud of dust. It was great to get back to what I think Fowler football is.”

Football roundup: Roosevelt beats No. 3 Silver Creek on game’s final play

(@SilverCreekLA/Twitter)

In a wild matchup, Roosevelt football scored on the game’s final play to upset Silver Creek on Friday night.

The Roughriders’ Noah Craig punched in a rushing touchdown as time expired to secure the 29-27 upset.

“Holy cow. It was a huge win,” Roosevelt coach Lane Wasinger told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show after the game.

To even get to that final play, though, Roosevelt first had to convert on fourth down with 25 seconds remaining.

“It was like, ‘You know what?’ Let’s just go for it. Let’s go for the end zone,” Wasinger said.

Roosevelt quarterback Trent Beall, a junior, scrambled for the first down â€” and got out-of-bounds.

“He’s so slippery and he’s so good with his feet, and he’s just a playmaker,” Wasinger said. “It gave us a chance to put it in the end zone.”

Craig, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound senior, did just that.

“The sideline went crazy,” Wasinger said. “We just won a big football game.”

Roosevelt had led Silver Creek 16-6 after three quarters, before both offenses broke loose in the final quarter.

“It got pretty crazy,” Wasinger said of the fourth quarter.

Silver Creek actually took the lead with seven minutes to play, but Roosevelt rallied and eventually won on the final play.

Both teams are now 3-1 this season.

3A: (2) Mead 38, (9) Longmont 14

Mead football continued its perfect start, beating No. 9 Longmont to improve to 4-0 this season.

The Mavericks, ranked No. 2 in Class 3A, jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter on their cross-town rivals, and went on to win 38-14.

Longmont did cut that early lead to 21-14 late in the second quarter, but Mead’s defense didn’t allow the Trojans to score again.

“Our defense had our back all night,” Mead quarterback Tyler Keys told BoCoPreps.com after the game.

Keys threw a passing touchdown and rushed for another for the Mavericks. Evan Hansen, Jake Wachter and Nathan Mackey also had rushing touchdowns. Dom Esters caught the touchdown from Keys.

Longmont quarterback Oakley Dehning rushed for a touchdown.

This was just the second-ever meeting between the two schools which are just 15 minutes apart. Mead won last season, 49-35, during its march to the semifinals.

2A/3A: (2) Bayfield 20, (8) Durango 13

For the first time in the history of the rivalry â€” which dates to 1924! â€” Bayfield beat Durango.

Bayfield senior Hunter Killough had a game-sealing interception in the game’s final moments, according to the Durango Herald.

“I wanted it bad,” he told the paper after the game. “Since last year, I had been stewing on this game. It’s good to get that victory.”

Rampart tops preseason 5A volleyball ranking

State volleyball

Lewis-Palmer, the defending 4A volleyball champion, heads the preseason ranking in that class. (Kevin Keyser/KeyserImages.com)

Rampart, Lewis-Palmer, Manitou Springs, Resurrection Christian and Fleming are the preseason No. 1 volleyball teams in their respective classifications.

CHSAANow.com’s preseason poll was released on Monday, and three of last year’s champions are atop the rankings. Those are Lewis-Palmer, Resurrection Christian and Fleming.

Rampart, which received eight of the 11 first-place votes, heads the Class 5A poll. The Rams made the state tournament last season, where they went 1-1 in pool play. They return a number of top players from that team.

Cherokee Trail is No. 2 to start the year, and is followed by No. 3 Fossil Ridge, No. 4 Grandview — the defending champion — and No. 5 Cherry Creek.

Pine Creek is sixth, Eaglecrest is seventh, Legend is eighth, Arapahoe is ninth and Mountain Vista rounds out the ranking.

Lewis-Palmer heads 4A. Ponderosa is No. 2, and Air Academy, last year’s runner-up, is third.

Manitou Springs is on top of the 3A ranking, just ahead of defending champ Eaton. Manitou was runner-up last season.

Resurrection Christian leads 2A, while Fleming is on top of 1A.

The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. During the regular season, polls will be released each Monday.

Complete rankings for all classes are below.
