The Cowboys (1-5, 1-1 in Class 2A Flatirons League) got a 35-16 road and conference victory against Jefferson (0-6, 0-2). Denver West quarterback Ramiro Barrazza rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another in the first half.

The Saints had a 8-7 lead in the first quarter, but Denver West scored a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to take a 21-8 lead into the locker room.

Jefferson is still seeking its first win of the year. The Saints took a forfeit victory over KIPP Denver Collegiate during the 2015 season, but haven’t won a game on the field since 2013 when Jefferson finished with an 8-3 record and qualified for the 2A state tournament.
