Why this one matters

Primero makes the short trip to Cotopaxi on Thursday night in what promises to be a physical small-school matchup. These two programs last met on Sept. 19, 2024, when Primero rolled to a 56-0 victory — a result Cotopaxi will be eager to avenge. With both teams set to open midweek play, look for local pride and momentum to be on full display under the Friday-night lights (moved to Thursday for this matchup).

Preview takeaway

Expect a tense, rivalry-style atmosphere. Primero’s big win last year gives them a psychological edge, but Cotopaxi will be playing at home and looking for payback. This is a must-see for fans of small-school Colorado football looking for late-summer intensity.
