Longmont is preparing for their first league matchup of the season on Friday. They will take on the Broomfield Eagles at 7:00 p.m. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 880 yards in their previous games.
Longmont barely beat Thomas Jefferson the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Trojans blew past the Spartans, posting a 41-13 win. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Trojans considering their seven-point performance the matchup before.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Longmont proved: they limited Thomas Jefferson to a paltry 3.1 yards per carry. The team can thank Jaden Ramirez for the heroic effort on defense: he. Longmont didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 8.7.
Longmont's defense also made the game a nightmare for Nick Radi, racking up eight sacks. Jaxson Russell was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up five himself. Longmont received some extra help from Liam Wright, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Meanwhile, Broomfield faced Erie in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. The Eagles were just a hair shy of victory and fell 26-25 to the Tigers. The Eagles gained 124 more yards on the day, but it was the Tigers that made the best use of them.
Despite the defeat, Broomfield saw an underclassman step up: freshman Kashus Clarvoe rushed for 269 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry. Clarvoe really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Longmont's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-4. As for Broomfield, their loss was their first of the season and makes their record 4-1.
Friday's contest might be decided on the ground. Longmont has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 184.8 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Broomfield struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 252.8 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Longmont took a serious blow against Broomfield when the teams last played back in October of 2024, falling 59-0. Thankfully for the Trojans, Colin Torres (who rushed for 110 yards and a pair of scores) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
