With a rising storm cloud providing a scenic backdrop, the Ignacio Bobcats form their final pregame huddle last Friday at IHS Field, prior to kicking off their 2015 season against non-conference Hotchkiss.
Ignacio's Ethan Appenzeller (21) tries shedding a Hotchkiss tackle during last Friday's season-opener at IHS Field. Unfortunately rushing yardage was virtually non-existent against the Bulldogs (1-0, 0-0 1A Western Slope) in a 43-0 loss. The Bobcats (0-1, 0-0 1A Southern Peaks) know goings won't be any easier when they next see action Sept. 11 on the road at Paonia against the reigning 1A state champions.
Ignacio senior Zach Weinreich (11) passes with Hotchkiss' Cameron Matus (76) applying blindside pressure during last Friday's season-opener at IHS Field. Weinreich completed eight passes in his first varsity start.
