Perhaps the biggest heartbreaker was the 13-7 loss to Air Academy. In this game, the Gladiators pushed the Kadets all over the field in the second half, yet still failed to get the winning touchdown. The foll9wing week, Widefield traveled to Salida to take on the league champions. Sahda scored in the final minutes of play to gain a tie and then went on to take the title. The t1e, although disappointing to the Gladiators, was a moral victory and lifted the team through three dec1sive wins over Fountain, Florence, and Harrison. The league finale proved to be a real "donnybrook" as Widefield and perennial spoiler Cheyenne Mountain squared off. The game was decided in the final minute as Widefield hung on to beat Cheyenne, 13-12, for the first time in the School's history. Capping off the season was the selection of Gary Jurgens to All-State and All-League teams. Also receiving recognition on the All-League team were John Janitell, Wilbur Raven, &>b Kilbane, and Jim Perry.
