Isaac Mccune's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Wheat Ridge over Conifer
Wheat Ridge was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Isaac Mccune did his best to prevent it. Mccune turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 300 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 83 yards and a touchdown.
Wheat Ridge is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. Mccune and Wheat Ridge will head out to square off against Skyview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Bennett Wilkes Makes It Two for Wheat Ridge
Keeping Mccune company is Bennett Wilkes, a fellow Wheat Ridge player. He picked up 144 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
If the past is any indication, Wilkes could be in store for another big game when he takes on Skyview on Friday. When Wilkes last faced the Wolverines back in October of 2023, he picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Effort from Solomon Bentrott Leads Evergreen over Skyview
Evergreen was led to victory by Solomon Bentrott, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Bentrott rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 64 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Evergreen, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Bentrott and Evergreen will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Wheat Ridge at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
Gamescore: 30.40
Big Game from Jodie As Evergreen Won 62-0
Keeping Bentrott company is Jace Jodie, a fellow Evergreen player. He rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown.
Jodie and Evergreen will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Wheat Ridge at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st. The Cougars had to take a loss when they last met the Farmers, but Jodie had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 100 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
