Estes Park's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-4. Their offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Leading Estes Park to victory were Hadlee Rasmussen and Colby O'Brien. Rasmussen rushed for 129 yards and two scores on only 15 carries, while O'Brien rushed for 90 yards and one touchdown.
