Landis Admits Doping, Fingers Armstrong

PARKER — Lights out. Literally. Figuratively. Shockingly. No. 7 Fairview upset No. 2 Mountain Vista 49-45 late Friday night in the Class 5A quarterfinals in a game that was interrupted by a power outage, played in two stadiums, and required a 20-minute halftime bus trip from Halftime Help Stadium in Highlands Ranch to Echo Park Stadium in Parker. The Knights won the game on an 11-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Ki Ellison to senior Toray Davis with 27.5 seconds remaining.

FORT COLLINS — UC Riverside’s Barrington Hargress hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime, and the Highlanders then outscored Colorado State 12-10 in the extra period to win 77-75 and hand the Rams their second loss in a row Friday night at Moby Arena. Jalen Lake made what appeared to be the game-winning 3-pointer with three seconds left, but Hargress’s heave at halfcourt denied the home fans the chance to celebrate.

MONUMENT — The last time that Broomfield football made the trip down to Don Breese Stadium for the Class 4A state playoffs, the Eagles left battered, bruised and defeated by Palmer Ridge.

Class 5A No. 1 Cherry Creek beat No. 9 Erie, 34-14: Junior RB Jayden Fox ripped off touchdown runs of 70 and 35 yards, freshman Elijah Cromwell tacked on a 64-yard scoring run, and Cherry Creek (11-1) clinched its seventh straight trip to the 5A semifinals with a dominant defensive performance at Stutler Bowl.
