Last night, Friday September 15, the Fossil Ridge SaberCats took on Poudre High School in their third game of the season. Due to a lightening delay with 7:30 left in the game, officials from both Fossil and Poudre will decide on Monday whether Poudre will be given the win, having held a 6-30 lead over the Cats for a majority of the game, or if the game will be finished at another time.

It seems as though Fossil just can’t connect the pieces to this puzzle they’ve been given. There are moments of brilliance when Tanner Hoke connects with Donovan Murphree and Casey Knutsen, or runs the ball himself, but a majority of the time the SaberCat offense just can’t complete their plays.

Last night there were a handful of flaws made by the Cats. Interceptions, fumbles, missed catches, nothing was coming together. Fortunately, the boys have a week to work on the things they need to, to play more of a competitive game next week.

I would also like to formally apologize for a mistake in a previous article – I stated that Sean Bowerfind had graduated last year, and that was an error on my end, he is currently attending Fossil Ridge.

Friday, September 22, the boys will take on Bear Creek at 3:00 P.M.

About the Contributor

Emily Brey, Sports Editor

Emily Brey is a senior at Fossil Ridge High School who is in her third year on the Etched In Stone staff and is Co-Editor of the Sports BEAT. Emily plays varsity soccer for Fossil and also plays for Arsenal Colorado on the ‘00 Academy team. She is committed to play soccer at Colorado State University - Pueblo and plans to study business and law in college. After attending CSUP, she hopes to attend CU where she will go for her MBA.

Between taking on a full schedule and all of her extracurricular commitments, Emily is a very busy bee this year. Emily is serving as Vice President of FBLA here at Fossil, and is a member of Key Club and NTHS (National Technical Honor Society). She is an ambitious young lady whose reliability, organization, and work ethic has helped her achieve many goals in her time thus far at Fossil Ridge. She is a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and the bands, All Time Low, SWMRS, Waterparks, and The Wrecks. She enjoys spending time outside and organizing things, which relaxes her. When she isn’t covering a story or playing soccer, Emily enjoys being a homebody and watching movies.

The friendly, family-like environment that the journalism program at Fossil encompasses has been something she has valued since freshman year. She would love to be able to continue journalistic work after high school. Emily looks forward to leading the Journalism 1 writers, no matter if that’s in journalism or just life in general. Plus, she hopes to inspire the younger writers to report on other topics besides sports, just because that’s something that she wishes she would’ve done the past two years. Her main goal for the year in journalism is to get better with her coverage, especially with using multiple media platforms. Emily wants to try and expand from her comfort zone of sports writing, hoping to experience writing different journalistic topics.
