Highlands Ranch couldn't quite get it done against Golden in their previous matchup back in November of 2024 as they fell 50-41. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Demons' Thatcher Matthews, who rushed for 128 yards and two scores while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 200 yards and a pair of TDs while completing 75% of his passes. Now that the Falcons know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
