Poudre ent to the Playoffs Imagine yourself at Poudre's 1987 Homecoming football game. You feel that you're in for a dreary night, because traditionally, Homecoming at Poudre means los- ing. Especially since our opponent is Northglenn, the football giant of the Front Range League. Suddenly, the crowd starts roaring and you turn to find that we have scored the first touchdown. The crowd is whipped to a frenzy as we score another and another, shut- ting Northglenn out with a score of 32-0. The football team then went on to overcome Thornton 30-14. These games were the high points of the season and the team's intensity was much higher after them. The team was beginning to feel that they could compete with, and beat some of the best teams in the state. Adding the Northglenn and Thornton games to their list of suc- cesses, the Ixnpalas went on to lead the league into the playoffs. Their impressive conference record was 4-1, with a loss to Fort Collins. The Irnpalas won the preliminary playoff game over Alameda and went on to the quarterfinals, the furthest Poudre had gone in 10 years. The fans' intensity increased as well as the team's. The school spirit that Poudre had been lacking, was increasing dramatically. The Impa- las had 7 buses of students and par- ents accompanying them to the quarterfinals in Grand Junction. Head Coach, Mr. Yonker, felt that this year's team had good leader- ship and good players who set goals for themselves and achieved them. Some of those key players were Marty Vigil, Vince Lucero, Andy Pett, Tim Griesmann, Joe Griess, jason Lehner, Ron Erbes, and Ryan May. Poudre pride is displayed at the 1987 Homecoming game by Rob Abrahamson, Matt O'Dell, Tom Franek, Judson Standard, Morgan Carey,and TJ.

Even with stitches in his finger, Jason Lehner is able to receive passes during the Preliminary State playoffs.
