Pre-game

The Moffat County High School football team is looking to break into the win column this season when it plays Aspen at 7 p.m. today on the road.

The Bulldogs (0-1 overall, 0-0 in the Western Slope League) are trying to rebound from a 26-22 defeat a week ago at the hands of visiting Evergreen.

For Aspen, which plays in the 2A Western League, today’s game is the season-opener.

The Skiers went 9-3 in 2009, losing in the Class 2A state quarterfinals.

MCHS went 6-4 in 2009, and narrowly missed a playoff berth in the tightly contested Western Slope League.

MCHS coaches said shutting down Aspen’s highly-effective ground game will be key to winning tonight on the road.
