The Palmer Ridge football team is gearing up for a new season after falling just short of a state championship last year. The team, based in Monument, Colorado, is looking to build on the lessons learned from their runner-up finish and come back stronger.
Reflection and Growth
Senior players Drew Japp and Zak Crisler reflected on the previous season, with Japp noting that every loss has a lesson. The team is focusing on not taking opponents for granted and is eager to get back on the field.
The Bears have a strong culture, which they call their “gold standard,” built around core values of toughness, hard work, and competitiveness. This culture has helped establish Palmer Ridge as one of Colorado’s premier football programs.
Despite graduating a large and talented senior class, the team is confident in their ability to fill the gaps and continue their success. The goal for the new season is to take the final step and win a championship.
