Football Preview: Englewood Pirates vs. Littleton Lions

Suggested Video

The Englewood Pirates will face off against the Littleton Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither Englewood nor Littleton posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.

Last Friday, Englewood was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 12-6 to Denver West.

Englewood wouldn't let Denver West keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Englewood can thank Kavin Mael and Anthony Sandoval for forcing both of them. Sandoval also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss).

Meanwhile, Littleton couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 36-12 to Jefferson on Thursday. The Lions just can't catch a break and have now endured eight losses in a row dating back to last season.

Englewood took their victory against Littleton in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 by a conclusive 29-6. Does Englewood have another victory up their sleeve, or will Littleton turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
