With Fountain-Fort Carson’s win, the series since the induction of the shield now stands at 2-2.There are no DOD schools in the area. I wanted to do that and I wanted to do the same thing for the team.

“(The shield) was the reason they won that game.

“I was here and my brother was playing,” Becker said. His goal heading into next year is going to be getting the work done so that he and his teammates can hoist that shield for Sparta once again. In the blink of an eye, it was a 28-7 lead and the Trojans cruised the rest of the way.Īs a freshman, Becker watched as the Trojans handed the Spartans, and his older brother Brandon, the Shield for a second straight year. Two on touchdown runs and one on a punt return. They amassed 103 rushing yards as a team with Dezmen scoring three times. It wasn’t until there was 1:06 left in the first quarter when the Trojans ran an offensive play. On their second drive of the game, the Spartans found some rhythm and marched their way down the field where Becker found the end zone from three yards out to tie the game. On just the third pass of the game, a tipped pass from Kaden Becker was intercepted by Myles McClarity and taken back for a touchdown to put the Trojans (3-1) up 7-0. It would’ve been easy for the Spartans (0-4 overall) to be deflated early.

'And we were really only playing each other from a local standpoint so to add that element really made it fun for the kids.'Īnd since then, it's been a big party of the rivalry and that remained true on Friday.

'We were the two biggest programs in the area,' FFC coach Jake Novotny said. There is a mutual respect between the players on the field, but with the added element of hardware at stake, passions and tempers have a tendency to run a little bit hotter than normal.

That very feeling was the point of establishing a traveling trophy between the programs.
