GREENWOOD VILLAGE — Within the first 12 minutes of the season, two of Cherry Creek’s best players were standing in slings on the sideline, and the Bruins already faced their first deficit.No sweat for a team looking to capitalize the D in dynasty, though.The Bruins did as they usually do — wear down their opponent with superior size, depth and skill — to roll Ralston Valley, 35-9, in the four-time defending Class 5A champions’ season-opener at the Stutler Bowl.“We had a lot of new guys coming in, a lot of guys who played before but haven’t started, and we had some first-game jitters,” Cherry Creek senior right guard Hayden Treter said. “But we did a great job of preparing, and sticking to our game-plan, and eventually, the rust wore off and we showed a glimpse of the team we’ll be this fall.”Senior left tackle AJ Burton, an Iowa State commit, dislocated his left shoulder on Cherry Creek’s opening offensive drive...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:54:30 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Malik Willis shook off a rough start while passing for 211 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Tennessee Titans to a 23-7 victory Friday night over the New England Patriots in the teams’ preseason finale. Ryan Tannehill started and handed off three times in his lone action this preseason before putting on a ballcap for the rest of the night for the Titans (2-1). New England (1-2) rested much of its starters with Bailey Zappe starting at quarterback. The Patriots managed just 79 yards total offense. Tennessee had six sacks and forced a turnover with most of the Titans’ starters playing the first quarter.With rookie Will Levis missing a second straight game with an injured left thigh, Willis made his case to back up Tannehill again this season. The 86th pick in the 2022 draft struggled in the first quarter, going 1 of 5 for 22 yards. He also threw a pass that went behind tight end Josh Whyle and off the rookie’s hands to Patriots linebacker C...
