Fort Collins football survives city rival to keep perfect season alive
Fort Collins football survived city rival Fossil Ridge to keep the dream of a perfect season alive and retain the Harmony Cup.
Fort Collins High School football maintained their perfect season by overcoming a tough challenge from their rival, Fossil Ridge, in a 21-12 home victory on October 16 at French Field. This win secured the Lambkins the Harmony Cup, a first in this matchup since 2018-19. Fort Collins finished the game with an 8-0 record (4-0 league), showing resilience despite some challenges.
Star quarterback Jace Garcia struggled to find the endzone, throwing no touchdowns and two interceptions. The Romero twins were instrumental in the Lambkins' success, with Diego scoring the opening touchdown and Vicente sealing the game with a fourth-quarter score. Despite Fossil Ridge's score of 14-6 at halftime, Fort Collins held on to keep their unbeaten record intact.
The Lambkins now face a critical Front Range League title game against Riverdale Ridge on October 23, with the winner set to advance to the state playoffs.
