Class 5A
No. 17 Fountain-Fort Carson won at No. 16 Cherokee Trail, 14-7 : The Trojans (8-3) advanced in the state playoffs for the fifth time in six years, thanks in part to a critical fourth-and-short stop deep in their own territory in the second half. The Cougars (4-7) tied the game in the second quarter on a fourth-down touchdown from junior Nico Mavromat, but FFC opened the second half with a TD drive on its first possession and held CT at bay after that.
