Daniel Mcfarland had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 147 yards. Those 147 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Jackson Dismang got in on the action as well, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Vista Ridge's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Leading the way was Devin Dettman with two. Jacob (Jb) Bourland was another major factor on D, forcing one fumble and making 14 total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, Broomfield never let their opponents score two weeks ago. They claimed a resounding 47-0 win over Skyline. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Eagles' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado football rankings (they are ranked 32nd, while the Falcons are ranked 111th).
Vista Ridge better keep an eye on Kashus Clarvoe. He was instrumental in Broomfield's win, rushing for 166 yards and one touchdown on only 15 carries. Clarvoe's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 166 rushing yards. The team also got some help courtesy of Gavin Montoya, who picked up 49 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.
Broomfield didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Skyline to a completion percentage of just 48%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from three players: Alexander Darby, Andrew Socia, and Nick Penfold, who each logged one passes deflected. Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Broomfield; they were averaging 58.7%completion percentage earlier this season, but in their last three contests they've fallen to only 58.7%.
Broomfield's victory bumped their record up to 8-2. As for Vista Ridge, their win bumped their record up to 8-3.
Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Vista Ridge has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 217.9 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Broomfield struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 267 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Vista Ridge took a serious blow against Broomfield in their previous meeting back in November of 2024, falling 49-7. Thankfully for the Wolves, Darien Jackson (who threw for 222 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also punched in a pair of scores on the ground) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
