Bear Creek better keep an eye on Daniel Schnittker. He was instrumental in Highlands Ranch's win, rushing for 161 yards and four TDs while picking up 10.1 yards per carry, and also catching one score. Schnittker's longest rush was for an incredible 74 yards.

Bear Creek might still be hurting after the 43-20 loss they got from Highlands Ranch in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Bears, Crew Gerig (who threw for 182 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and also punched in one rushing score) won't be suiting up this time.
