Fossil Ridge High School football

Fossil Ridge plays high school football in Colorado.

Coming soon

Colorado is coming to Hometown Line

You’re in the right place, and the whole site is open to you. We only show scores a state’s association lets us read and credit, and Colorado’s aren’t readable yet. Here’s how Fossil Ridge gets on, and how to play in the meantime.

Play this Friday anyway

Every game on the board is open to you, in any state. Call the week’s biggest games, or follow a state next door.

Getting Fossil Ridge on the site

Colorado isn’t published yet. Colorado's scores come from MaxPreps, and its site asks AI crawlers to stay away; we honour both.

In the meantime, a coach, athletic director or team manager can put a school’s season on the site through the Team Desk, and the letter below still asks them to publish.

Ask them

Write to Colorado High School Activities Association or your school's athletic director. Address it to the association’s office or your athletic director — the contact page on their site has it.

Subject: Schedules and scores for Colorado high-school football

Dear Colorado High School Activities Association,

I am a fan of Fossil Ridge. I follow the season on Hometown Line (hometownline.com), a free game of skill and prediction for high-school football. There is no money in it: readers predict results and are scored on how well they read the games.

Colorado is not on the site yet because Colorado High School Activities Association does not publish schedules and scores of its own; they sit on a third-party scoreboard whose terms allow no reuse. I am writing to ask that Colorado High School Activities Association publish its schedules and scores itself, or as a feed, so that any site may read and credit them. Hometown Line credits Colorado High School Activities Association on every game.

Thank you for considering it.

Yours sincerely,
A supporter of Fossil Ridge

Every state, and why

Start a Fossil Ridge league

Fossil Ridge was the first high school in Fort Collins to begin a unified basketball team. It was the first school to host the Special Olympics track and field event for students from Poudre and Thompson School Districts, and the first to host the local Special Olympics flag football tournament.

The programme

Notable alumni
6 in all, 3 of them in football
Counted from the school’s own article, which lists people notable enough to have been written up. A programme with none has not produced none.

Everything above comes from Fossil Ridge’s own article — except the few lines that name a different one — and is real. Hometown Line also runs a scoring model over Colorado high school football. Every prediction it makes is the model’s own. Where Colorado publishes a schedule the site may read, the games ahead are that schedule; where it does not, the fixtures ahead are generated so the model has something to predict. A result is shown only where its source is named.
