The Fort Lupton Bluedevils will take on the Wellington Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Fort Lupton is headed out to face Wellington after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Fort Lupton claimed a resounding 40-12 win over D'Evelyn at home. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 26-6.
Royce Guerrero had a dynamite game for Fort Lupton, throwing for 280 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes, and also rushing for 89 yards and two touchdowns. Guerrero didn't just play on offense: he also made two total tackles and defended two passes. Backing up that air attack was Christopher Galicia, who rushed for 150 yards and a rushing touchdown.
Fort Lupton's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Joshua Mu?oz. His also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Meanwhile, Wellington had to kick off their season on the road two weeks ago, but they showed no ill effects. They took their match on the road with ease, bagging a 42-12 victory over Colonial. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 73rd in Colorado, while the Grenadiers are ranked 475th in Florida), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Tanner Gray looked great while leading his team to the win, rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. The team also got some help courtesy of Cyle Kisner, who rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns.
Kisner wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Wellington was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 243 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Colonial only rushed for 80.
