Friday night is shaping up to be one to remember at Ragain Field. The CSCS Lions enter their final regular-season matchup undefeated at 8–0, preparing to face the 7–1 Burlington Cougars in a highly anticipated conference showdown. With Senior Night celebrations and a special helicopter ball drop before kickoff, the stage is set for an unforgettable night of Lions football.
Coming off a 54–20 Homecoming victory over Salida, the Lions have continued to prove they are a team willing to compete and rise to the occasion. Their impressive season includes a historic road victory over Limon, their first against the Badgers since 2015, and a climb to the top of the Class 1A power rankings.
But the work isn’t finished.
Burlington arrives with plenty of momentum of its own. Both teams enter Friday undefeated in conference play, and the Cougars bring a powerful rushing attack that will challenge the Lions’ defense. This matchup will demand discipline and a complete team effort.
The Lions have used their bye week to prepare, sharpen their execution, and focus on what lies ahead. Quarterback Fisher Tenpas continues to lead a productive offense, while players on both sides of the ball have stepped up throughout the season. Friday presents another opportunity to show how much this team has grown.
Honoring Our Seniors
Beyond the excitement of the matchup, Friday is an opportunity to recognize the seniors who have helped shape this football program.
We are proud to recognize Grant Rasmussen, Silas Lambert, Pierce Ueberroth, Cruz Mullins, Fisher Tenpas, Liam Smith, Nate Aichele, Jadon Wood, Adrian Langhofer, Reid Burandt, Tyler Staus, Brody Mullins, Josh Shade and Wyatt Jackson.
These young men have invested countless hours into practices, workouts, and games. They’ve experienced the challenges and triumphs that come with competing together, developing not only as athletes but as teammates, leaders, and young men of character.
Their impact reaches far beyond the scoreboard. We are grateful for their commitment, the example they’ve set for younger players, and the families who have supported them throughout their journey as Lions.
A Special Night at Ragain Field
Adding to the excitement, Friday’s festivities will feature a special UCHealth helicopter ball drop before kickoff, making an already meaningful evening even more memorable for our school community.
We’re calling on the entire Lions community to fill the stands, celebrate our seniors, and bring the energy as our team prepares for one of its toughest matchups of the season.
