What to watch

This one has a recent-history edge: the teams last met on Sept. 27, 2024, when Highlands Ranch rolled to a 48-7 victory. That blowout came at Highlands Ranch; Thursday’s game is a rematch with the Commanders back on their home turf in Denver. Expect Kennedy to try to flip the script at home and Highlands Ranch to build on the comfort of that lopsided win.
