Fruita Monument vs Eaglecrest – Friday Night Lights High School Football Review

As the lights came up at Stocker Stadium this Friday Night (September 15) it was a great night for high school football where the Fruita Monument Wildcats hosted the Eaglecrest Raptors from Centennial, CO in a non-conference game.

The Wildcats started off hot, returning the opening kick-off 92 yards for the first score of the game just 14 seconds into the game. That was the end of the highlights for the Wildcats as the Raptors were in control for the rest of the game. The Raptors came out on top by the final score of 55 to 28 dropping the Wildcats to 1 and 3 for the season.

The Grand Junction Tigers were on the road this weekend, traveling to Arvada, CO for a non-conference game against the Ralston Valley Mustangs. It was a back and forth game as the teams traded the lead throughout the night, but the  final lead change came to the Mustangs on a field goal with less than a minute to go in the third. The Tigers were unable to regain the lead in the fourth quarter and the Mustangs put the game away for good in the fourth with the final touchdown, breaking a 3 game win streak for the Tigers.

The Central Warriors had Friday night off, and traveled Saturday down the road to Denver to play the D'Evelyn Jaguars. The Warriors did not fare well and remain winless, losing to D'Evelyn by the score of 38 to 29.

Just down highway 50, the Montrose Indians were hosts to the Cyclones from Pueblo-West. It was a tough night for the Indians and the final score was determined by who could score on the extra points.
