Friday nights battle with Poudre had all the makings of a classic football high school football game. Two intercity rivals, a steady autumn rain and a rugged running game versus a high octane passing attack. It was only fitting that it would end up in overtime with one play to decide the outcome.
It was not a perfectly played game by any means. Defensively we were handled at the point of attack and Poudre could run the football at will. Offensively we didn't execute well and sputtered through the majority of the first three quarters. But NEVER underestimate the HEART OF THE SABERCATS!
You have had plenty of opportunities to stay down and quit this year. But you have battled back and the Poudre game was no exception. Regardless of the outcome Poudre now knows who the SABERCATS are. They know that whenever they see Fossil Ridge on their schedule they are going to be in for a fight, for 48 minutes (or more). In NO OTHER SPORT do you have to PICK YOURSELF UP AND WALK IT OFF, like you have to in FOOTBALL! You need to know that not everyone has that in them in to do that, BUT YOU DO!

UPON FURTHER REVIEW
- # 8 from Poudre is a workhorse
- Defensive players must know their assignments on every down, every block
- Every point during a game is HUGE
- CJ's TRUCKSTICK on the goal line was AWESOME
- Once again the RIDGE NATION was there, rain or shine
- The SaberCats play to WIN
