Cowboys take down Paonia Eagles 12-7 in Homecoming game

Bobby Gutierrez Photo MHS football coach Shane Phelan said “a lot of individuals stepped up and made big plays” in the Homecoming game against Paonia, and one of the biggest plays was made by senior Ty Gibson. With 1:43 left on the clock, Meeker ahead 12-7 and Paonia driving down the field, Gibson did what was described by one fan as a “Von Miller-like play,” when he stripped the ball from the Paonia’s quarterback, causing a fumble which teammate Eli Newman recovered. The Cowboys are currently 8-0 with one more regular season game left in Olathe Friday and they are currently the No. 1 ranked 1A team in the state, according to Colorado Preps.
