The program’s weekly honors went to the Fountain‑Fort Carson defensive unit and to Sand Creek quarterback Treven Rick, while Banning Lewis earned an honorary mention.
Defensive excellence at Fountain‑Fort Carson
Coaches and fans of Fountain‑Fort Carson High School praised the defensive squad for its aggressive, disciplined performance on the field. The unit forced multiple turnovers, limited the opposing offense’s yardage, and helped secure a decisive victory for the team. Head coach John “Dylan” Miller – who selects the defensive pick for the Blitz – highlighted the players’ commitment to teamwork and their embodiment of the school’s core values of hard work, respect, and perseverance.
Quarterback leadership at Sand Creek
Sand Creek’s quarterback, Treven Rick, was chosen by the program’s co‑host Danny as the offensive standout of the week. Rick displayed poise under pressure, delivering accurate throws and orchestrating key drives that kept his team competitive. His performance reflects the strong character development emphasized by Sand Creek’s athletic department, which encourages student‑athletes to balance sports, academics, and family responsibilities.
