Fossil Ridge is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They came out on top against Loveland by a score of 24-17.

Fossil Ridge had a senior duo take command as Nick Kubat threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns and Marcus Mozer picked up 147 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Brayden Higgins did his part by putting the 'special' in special teams, booting in three field goals.

Meanwhile, Rock Canyon never let their opponents score on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Chaparral 28-0 at home. Given the Jaguars' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado football rankings (they are ranked 31st, while the Wolverines are ranked 94th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Rock Canyon's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Timothy Huette and Cooper Ueland.
