Barlow slotted the ball perfectly past the Fort Lupton keeper to give Roaring Fork the ultimate 2-0 winning advantage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe played a complete game, and focused on the basics and just kept it simple,\u201d Rams coach Nick Forbes said. \u201cWe\u2019re a good team when we do the basics well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Forbes credited senior center midfielders Aidan Foote and Lucas Schramer for holding the line on the Blue Devils\u2019 offense and fueling the Rams\u2019 pressure up front.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhen we play that collective, smart offense we\u2019re a hard team to beat,\u201d Forbes said. \u201cAnd we showed good character at the end when it got a little messy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Roaring Fork now pays the price for a 2-0 regular-season-ending loss at Coal Ridge, which dropped the Rams (13-2-1) in the final RPI rankings behind Aurora West Prep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe had been ahead of them in the rankings right up until that last week,\u201d Forbes said of the 16-1 Spartans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThey have some good players, and play on a big turf field, so we\u2019ll have to keep it a shorter game with more feet, rather than balls to space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Game time for Saturday will be determined later this week.<\/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.aspentimes.com\/sports\/roaring-fork-scores-2-0-home-win-to-advance-to-3a-soccer-quarterfinals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roaring Fork Ram Lucas Schramer looks for an open teammate against Fort Lupton High School on Tuesday evening.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Roarking Fork Ram Junior Mercado fights to keep possession of the ball against the defending Fort Lupton Blue Devils on Tuesday evening.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Show CaptionsHide Captions It\u2019s onto the Class [&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":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2450772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-19 08:59:16","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":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2450772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450772\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2450772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2450772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2450772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
