AURORA | The first win of the season was within the grasp of the Rangeview football team Thursday night, but slipped away with two costly turnovers.
The Raiders watched the Mountain Range defense take back both an interception and a fumble for touchdowns — the most costly coming late in the final quarter as Rangeview drove for the go-ahead score — and eventually fell 20-14 in a Metro 10 contest at Aurora Public Schools Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Reece Berkey threw for 166 yards and a touchdown, a 64-yarder to senior Ethan Fray inside the last two minutes, and Trey Rogers also found the end zone for coach Brandon Alconcel’s team, which dropped to 0-4.
Rangeview plays host to Adams City at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 20.
