: Jaiden Nichols broke up a two-point conversion attempt with less than a minute left, and the Wildcats survived an upset scare a week before their Halloween showdown at Ralston Valley.

Banks came on in place of Ricky Weeks after the sophomore QB was injured during the game-winning drive, then delivered the program’s biggest win in its eight-year history. The 4A North 2 League title-clinching victory wouldn’t have been possible without the Ravens defense, which held Broomfield to its lowest scoring total of the season.
