With the win, Mountain Vista is now 8-0, the lone remaining unbeaten team in 5A.

Cherry Creek beat No. 3 Regis Jesuit in overtime last week. This loss is the Bruins’ first in-state loss since the 2014 title game, a span of 21 games. They are the defending 5A champions, and went 17-0 against in-state teams in 2015, and opened 4-0 this season.

Both teams have a quick turnaround. Mountain Vista is at Lewis-Palmer on Wednesday, while Cherry Creek hosts Smoky Hill.
