The Flatirons Academy Bison are taking a road trip to face off against the Limon Badgers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Flatirons Academy can't be to happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They came up short against Highland, falling 30-7.
Meanwhile, Limon came tearing into Friday's contest with 13 straight wins dating back to last season (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 27.4 points) and they left with even more momentum. They strolled past the Lions with points to spare, taking the game 42-28. Given the Badgers' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado football rankings (they are ranked 26th, while the Lions are ranked 127th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Aiden Kollath was a one-man wrecking crew for Limon as he rushed for 82 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 161 yards on only nine passes. Another player making a difference was Jacob Jaklich, who rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns.
Jaklich wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Limon was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 324 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 157 rushing yards in 14 consecutive matches dating back to last season.
Flatirons Academy took a serious blow against Limon in their previous meeting back in November of 2022, falling 42-14. Thankfully for Flatirons Academy, Lohgan Bottjer (who rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
