BOULDER, Colo. — A football season can be like a roller coaster ride.
Chaparral knows that feeling well.
After starting the year 2-0, the Wolverines were receiving votes in the CHSAA top-10 football rankings. But after two losses to fall to 2-2, that was no longer the case.
That's why their performance on the road at Fairview on Thursday night was so crucial, winning 28-13 and getting back above .500 at 3-2 on the season. The Wolverines led 14-0 after the first quarter, 21-13 at half and played stellar defense in the second half to secure the victory.
Fairview, ranked No. 11 in the CHSAA 5A poll entering the game, dropped to 3-2. The Knights will look to rebound next Friday night at Legacy.
Chaparral, fresh off the huge win, will look to get to 4-2 with a tough test at Regis Jesuit on the same evening.
