A Season-Best Performance from Jack Mckeon Leads Fort Collins over Horizon
On Friday, Fort Collins got the W thanks in part to Jack Mckeon playing the best football he has all season. Mckeon rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 61 receiving yards.
On the year, Mckeon has averaged 18.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to ten.

Marcus Mozer Delivers Best Effort of Season
Fossil Ridge was led to victory by Marcus Mozer, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Mozer picked up 168 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 58 yards.
Mozer is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Rocky Mountain on Friday. When Mozer last faced the Lobos back in October of 2023, he picked up 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

James Lawson and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
