BodyText\">A Carbondale community effort helped ensure the Roaring Fork High School Rams had a field to play \u2014 and win \u2014 on Friday evening in their opening round game of the 3A state playoffs against Peak to Peak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After a scoreless first 55 minutes of play, the fifth-seeded Rams found their stride, scoring three goals during a 10-minute stretch midway through the second half to claim the 3-0 win over No. 28 Peak to Peak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After this week\u2019s snowstorm and cold weather, it was all Roaring Fork could do to get the field at Carbondale Middle School ready for play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI just want to give a shout-out to a community that came out and helped make this happen,\u201d Roaring Fork head coach Nick Forbes said. \u201cWe had some people in the district office who were out here shoveling for us, parents who were here shoveling, grandparents \u2026 it was a collective effort to make sure this game happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt was moving to me as a coach, and it was nice to see that support,\u201d Forbes said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Rams returned the favor, giving their loyal fan base an entertaining game that saw Roaring Fork control the early pace with a solid defensive effort from a young cast of starters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe had some practice attendance issues at the beginning of the week, so I dealt with that by giving some of our seniors a sit for the first 10 to 15,\u201d Forbes explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThey paid their dues, and then came out with some more intensity. They\u2019ve been proving themselves all year, so it was nice to see them come out and do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sophomore Ross Barlow got the Rams on the scoreboard as the clock ticked inside 25 minutes to play in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After several near misses for the pressing Roaring Fork team, Barlow finally found a loose ball in front of the net and knocked it into the back of the net past Peak to Peak keeper Michael Crotty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">A few minutes later, Rams senior Dylan Webster scored two goals within 40 seconds of each other to seal the deal for the host team and move the Rams on to Tuesday\u2019s second round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Webster said his first goal was a simple matter of teamwork.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhen you\u2019re making runs like that it creates gaps, and that run left me alone in front,\u201d Webster said. \u201cThe ball took a weird bounce off the D, and all I had to do was finish the volley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cPlayoffs is a whole new game,\u201d he said. \u201cPotentially, every game could be your last, so I think everyone brings it a little more. When we play with each other, that\u2019s when we play our best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Roaring Fork will host No. 12 Fort Lupton \u2014 3-0 winners over Manitou Springs \u2014 at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Carbondale field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In other 3A playoff action Friday, Coal Ridge High, coming in as the No. 30 seed, lost on the road in Colorado Springs to No. 3 Atlas Prep Academy 9-0, and No. 29 Basalt dropped a 4-1 decision to Aurora West College Prep Academy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">And, in the class 4A playoffs, No. 23 Rifle \u2014 in its first post-season appearance since 2011 \u2014 fell 2-0 to No. 10 Discovery Canyon, also in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:jstroud@postindependent.com\">jstroud@postindependent.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/preps\/roaring-fork-wins-3-0-to-open-3a-soccer-playoffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roaring Fork Rams Ross Barlow and Lucas Schramer celebrate after Barlow&#8217;s goal early in the second half of Friday night&#8217;s 3A playoff game against Peak to Peak High School.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent The Roaring Fork Rams celebrate after Ross Barlow&#8217;s goal early in the second half of Friday night&#8217;s game against Peak to Peak [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1316353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-06 15:07:57","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1316353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1316353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1316353\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1316353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1316353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1316353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
