The Eagles defeated the Fury 48-21 to capture their first state title in 31 years.
PUEBLO, Colo. — The small town of Wray, Colorado, has been waiting for a big party for more than three decades.
Wray is bringing home its first football state championship in 31 years after defeating Forge Christian 48-21 in the Class 1A title game Saturday afternoon at Dutch Clark Stadium.
The Eagles’ undefeated season (13-0 overall) was capped off with the school’s first state title since 1993.
“It’s awesome. You’ll never find support like Wray,” senior quarterback Casey Midcap said. “I love that we could end this thing with a state championship.”
Wray was powered a trio of touchdown runs from senior Sam Meisner, including busting free for long scores of 75-plus yards twice.
“My mindset was to leave it all on the field, and I would say I did a good job doing that,” he said. “Half the town of Wray is here. It just shows how special our community is.”
