Rocky II

This is a rematch that needs NO HYPE!  Last years inaugural game was an INSTANT CLASSIC!  The ball flying through the air and over the cross bar and the SaberCats storming on to the field looking for someone to hug. I guarantee that the Rocky Mountain Lobos have NOT forgotten. The Lobos have a proud football tradition and I am sure were shocked to walk off the field with a loss. They will be READY.  This is where it all starts, the city rivalry games, the conference schedule. Everything you have worked for this football season is ahead of you. Prepare yourself for victory!  Be determined that you will leave with NOTHING LESS!!

Triumph at Thompson Valley

   There is no better feeling than celebrating a HARD FOUGHT  VICTORY with your fellow teammates. That was evident on the sidelines as the fourth quarter was winding down and the you knew that the victory was yours!  You came out and dominated Thompson Valley in all three phases of the game. The Eagles would have to wait for until next year to try and celebrate a happy homecoming. It was the first of a very important stretch of games that will determine the outcome of your season. Congratulations on an AWESOME WIN!!

There was an AWE INSPIRING SUNSET laid down on top to the Mummy Range in the late first quarter

Jace Horak's  KOR for A TD was EXPLOSIVE

TWO defensive Touchdowns for TWO RUSSELS in TWO days, Tyler on Thursday and Cody on Friday!

The QB from TV was a   SCRAPPER, he kept coming until the final whistle

Collin Beard has become THUNDER TOE sailing the KO's into the endzone

The Eagles knew they had been in a PHYSICAL BATTLE











 

SaberCats look to play Homecoming Spoiler at Thompson Valley

   There is a reason that a team schedules you for their homecoming game, because they THINK THAT THEY CAN BEAT YOU! Thompson Valley has designated you as their homecoming game. That fact should not sit well with you. The Eagles feel that you are their best shot. Your focus should be on doing everything you can this week in practice to make sure that you leave Loveland with a victory. It is time to go out and dominate the opposition. LEAVE NO DOUBT.

Tough Warriors

The Arapahoe Warriors proved to be all they were advertised on Friday night.  They executed well, played hard and came away with the victory.  There are reasons that the Warrior defense has not been scored on this season, they play tough,fast and fundamentally sound football. They are going to be a long night for anyone their schedule. The season is a series of tests, with each game giving you new results. You need to learn from these test and apply the lessons learned. The beauty of football is that you get a new test the next week.

French Field is a great place for a high school football game

The Arapahoe defense was a FAST unit

The Giant SaberCat Helmet tunnel was AWESOME

The Fossil Ridge Marching Band is THE BEST

Cory Peter had an OUTSTANDING night punting

Friday Night at French Field

  There is no place on earth I would rather be on a gorgeous September Colorado Friday night than at French Field with the SaberCats. The chance to suit up with your brothers on the team and battle with all your heart for VICTORY does not come along everyday. Take advantage of it!! Explode on to the field. Be brave, strong and confident!  The visitors are a strong football team, BUT SO ARE YOU!  The team that is more focused, disciplined and productive on the field Friday night will come away with the win. Make Friday a day you will remember for the rest of your lives.

Rough Night at Shea Stadium

  The Falcons of Highlands Ranch came out ready to play, took advantage of SaberCat mistakes and executed their game plan to earn the victory Friday night.  The Falcons have been a solid team that has made Shea Stadium a hard place for the visiting teams to earn a victory.  You must learn from every game and become stronger because of it. There is an opportunity to make improvements and take that attitude to the practice fields this week. Your season will be defined by what you do from here on out. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE! SaberCat football has always prided itself on the ability to battle through tough circumstances, and I know that is what it WILL DO AGAIN!

Congratulations to the JV team for a thrilling goal line stand and victory over the Falcons in Fort Collins. Also kudos to the Freshmen team for the first of what promises to be many VICTORIES, over the Falcons in Denver.

Highlands Ranch Falcons Await Visit From SaberCats

The Highlands Ranch Falcons football program will provide an outstanding test for the SaberCats this weekend. They have been ranked in and around the Top Ten for the past couple of years.  There is no better way to get on the winning track then against an outstanding team. You have have paid the price in practice and in the weight room to prepare yourselves for VICTORY. Now is the time to transfer that sweat equity on to the field and leave Denver with a win. BELIEVE IN YOURSELVES AND YOUR TEAMMATES.
Leave it all on the field, and rest will come.

Tough Loss in Season Opener

It was a perfect late Summer afternoon for a Season Opener, but the Trojans from Fountain Fort Carson had just enough to hold off the hard charging SaberCats at the horn. The Trojans commitment to the run proved to be the difference in the second half.  The game was hard hitting and filled with big plays from both teams. You had a chance to let the Trojans pull away in the fourth quarter but you dug in your heels and let them know what the heart of a SaberCat is all about.  If you learned anything from the game on Saturday, it is that you can compete with anybody on your schedule.  The Trojans may have left French Field with the victory, but they also left with a lot of respect for Fossil Ridge Football.

The catch that Jace Horak made on fourth down was CRAZY

You have to stop the run

Mike Harrison is a BEAST on either side of the ball

Fountain is the fastest TEAM I have ever seen. Freshmen through Varsity.

Dalton DeGroot blew up a Trojan on special teams

Number 9 from Fort Carson looks like he is going to be a heck of a player at the next level
