HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — 'Zero Week' games almost never have this much hype.
Ralston Valley, No. 4 in the preseason rankings, traveled to Mountain Vista on Friday (August 18) night for a clash between two teams that hope to be Class 5A football contenders this fall.
It was also a matchup featuring two of the state's best quarterbacks in Logan Madden (Ralston Valley) and Austyn Modrzewski (Mountain Vista).
In the end, it was Madden and his Mustangs who came away with a 13-7 victory over the Golden Eagles at Halftime Help Stadium.
"We're going to play a hard schedule this year. We just have to come out firing every single time," said senior Jack Wagner, who reeled in the game-sealing interception. "I knew it was game. I'm happy we won."
