The RCHS Jaguars rallied together at the half as they were down to the HRHS Falcons 14 to 3.

It was a warm Friday night at Shea Stadium on August 30 when the Rock Canyon High School (RCHS) Jaguars took on their crosstown rivals, the Highlands Ranch High School (HRHS) Falcons. The Jags were off to a rough start at the opening game of the varsity football season.

There was much anticipation for this game as the Jags prepared for the “black out” with the crowd all dressed in black. T-shirts were sold and worn by many students with the simple “#beatranch” on the front.

The Jags ended the first quarter down by 3 points with a score of 6 to 3. The Jags were scoreless in the second quarter, sending them into half time down and out with a score of 14 to 3. The third quarter saw both sides scoring a touchdown, bringing the tally to 21 to 10 with HRHS still in the lead.

But the Jags weren’t done yet and the canyon crazies got even crazier as their team came back to score two more touchdowns in the last quarter of the game, bringing the final score to 24 to 21 RCHS! Touchdowns were scored with a pass from quarterback Ryan Hommel to John Riley and with two rushing touchdowns, one by Austin Kortum and one by Jack Lamb.
