But a decisive drive by Delta soon after finally toppled the Longhorns for good in Saturday\u2019s Class 2A state semifinal game in Basalt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThat drive was huge,\u201d Delta junior quarterback Nolan Bynum said. \u201cThat completely flipped the whole momentum of the game right there. They got it back and we drive the ball down the field and get that score and it\u2019s back in our hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">That early fourth quarter scoring drive was the nail in the coffin in Delta\u2019s 17-6 win that sends them to the state championship game for the first time in nearly six decades. The loss ended Basalt\u2019s historic playoff run \u2014 BHS was competing in the 2A semifinals for the first time in program history. The Longhorns\u2019 only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/forty-years-later-and-basalt-football-is-back-in-the-state-semifinals\/\">other semifinal appearance came in Class 1A in 1979<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI wish the game would have gone differently today,\u201d Basalt coach Carl Frerichs said. \u201cI definitely know when we go back and watch film we are going to kind of beat ourselves up a little bit because we know we had opportunities. We went toe-to-toe with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The semifinal game was a rare playoff matchup between a pair of 2A Western Slope League foes. Basalt and Delta had played four times in four years, splitting the contests. This included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/delta-expects-different-game-then-first-when-they-face-basalt-in-semis\/\">a 35-6 win for the Panthers earlier this season<\/a> in Delta.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In a way similar to that first game, Basalt was hardly sharp early in Saturday\u2019s game but did enough defensively to make Delta play equally as sloppy. The Panthers led 10-0 at halftime; their lone touchdown was a Bynum to Hunter Hughes score midway through the second quarter that came after Basalt had muffed a punt deep in its own territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cBasalt played really well. Hats off to them. They took away a lot of good things that we tried to do and sort of made us a little bit ugly,\u201d Delta coach Ben Johnson said. \u201cThey played a really good game and they had a tremendous year and those guys should be very proud of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt\u2019s defense made a pair of fourth-down stops deep in their own territory early in the third quarter to keep within striking distance. This led to a play that nearly changed Basalt\u2019s fortune in the game, a 79-yard pass and catch from junior quarterback Matty Gillis to junior speedster Rulbe Alvarado, a missed extra point making it 10-6 in favor of Delta with 5:15 to play in the third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cOne thing that has been so special with this team all year is their perseverance,\u201d Frerichs said. \u201cThese kids don\u2019t fold. They keep battling. We knew all we needed was one thing to break our way and we felt like that happened in the third quarter \u2014 that big play to Rulbe. And we were just one or two more big plays from having this Saturday be the Saturday we wanted it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Still 10-6 entering the fourth quarter, Bynum led Delta\u2019s offense on a game-sealing drive, which ended with a 26-yard pass and catch again from Bynum to Hughes with 10 minutes to play that seemed to seal the contest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Delta\u2019s defense did the rest, a pair of interceptions late in the game keeping Basalt from any sort of comeback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The win was a breakthrough for the Panthers. Delta had played in the state semifinals three times going back to 2013 \u2014 two of them in Class 3A \u2014 and lost every time. Meaning, for the first time since 1961, Delta will compete in the state championship game. The Panthers lost to Lamar in the title game that season, but did beat Fairview in the finale a year earlier for the program\u2019s only state title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Delta (11-1), the No. 4 seed, will play No. 2 Sterling (11-1) for the 2A state championship on Saturday in Pueblo. <a href=\"https:\/\/chsaanow.com\/2019-11-03\/class-2a-football-state-playoff-bracket-2019\/\">The Tigers beat No. 3 Resurrection Christian<\/a> in Saturday\u2019s other semifinal, 21-14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cCoach (Johnson) told us, \u2018We get to that door every year, but now it\u2019s just time to kick that door in,\u2019\u201d Bynum said of the historic win. \u201cIt really hasn\u2019t hit me too hard yet. I know once I get in my car I\u2019m just going to break down, I think. But it\u2019s crazy. We are just blessed with the community that we have. My teammates, I love my teammates and we have a great bond and we are ready to go get one more next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt, the No. 9 seed, ends its season with a 9-3 record. It was the third straight season BHS finished with nine wins, a stretch that can only be matched by those teams in the \u201870s, including that historic 1979 team that made the 1A semifinals before losing to eventual champion Limon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cCredit to coach Johnson and his staff. They were well prepared,\u201d Frerichs said. \u201cThey did some great things up front and man, they are super athletic up front. We had a hard time with their speed and their athleticism and they had some big kids up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Frerichs did want to thank the Basalt community for helping make the game even happen. The BHS football field was covered in roughly 5 inches of snow from Friday\u2019s storm and it took a few hours of laborious work that evening to get the field cleared in time for Saturday afternoon\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201c(Friday) night was such a special night on our field,\u201d Frerichs said. \u201cSo many parents, so many people shoveled. To me that was such a special thing and why Basalt is such a special place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:acolbert@aspentimes.com\">acolbert@aspentimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/basalt-footballs-historic-playoff-run-ends-with-semifinal-loss-to-delta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delta High School\u2019s #59 tackles Basalt High School\u2019s Cole Dombrowski during the semifinal game in Basalt on Saturday, November 23, 2019.
