RANGEVIEW

AURORA | The Rangeview football team opened the 2017 season slow, but ended it on the fast track.

The Raiders knocked off Castle View 31-21 Thursday night at Aurora Public Schools Stadium for their second straight victory, which brought them to the finish of first-year coach Brandon Alconcel’s inaugural season at 3-7 overall.

FOOTBALL 2017: RANGEVIEW TOPS CASTLE VIEW 31-21

Senior quarterback Jaelin Odegard capped his prep career with 232 yards of total offense, including a passing and rushing touchdown, senior Josiah Allen hauled in a touchdown pass and senior David Aggrey rushed for a score as Rangeview earned its second Mount Wilson League victory of the season after topping Rocky Mountain the previous week.

Odegard’s TD toss to Allen, his short rushing touchdown and junior Axel Lara’s 35 yard field goal sent the Raiders into the lockerroom with a 21-0 halftime advantage over the SaberCats (1-9, 0-5).

Castle View got on the scoreboard in the third quarter, but Rangeview junior Adam Walker answered with a 32 yard fumble return for a touchdown in the closing seconds of the period for a 28-7 edge.

Aggrey piled up 129 yards rushing on just 11 carries, including a 42-yard run to the end zone with 3:17 remaining for the Raiders’ final score. It was Aggrey’s first 100-yard rushing game since Week 6 and his third of the season.

Rangeview finished the season with the same record it had in 2016 under former coach Justin Hoffman, who stepped down in the spring and moved with his family to South Carolina. Alconcel, who spent the past handful of seasons as an assistant at Overland, took over.

The Raiders currently sit No. 32 in 5A RPI going into Friday and Saturday games, which puts them outside the 16-team playoff field.
