ROOSEVELT ROUGHRIDERS DAY
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2022
WHEREAS, the Roosevelt Roughriders played in the Class 3A state championship against
the Lutheran Lions on Saturday, December 3, at the Neta and Eddie DeRose Thunderbowl
in Pueblo; and
WHEREAS, the Roughriders were not only out to win a state championship, they wanted
to make school history, claiming the football program's first ever state championship. To do
so, they had to respond to early adversity, as Lutheran took a 10-0 lead; and
WHEREAS, the Roughriders answered back. Seniors Ryan Doucette and Tucker Peterson
each recorded first-half touchdowns to pull Roosevelt within three at halftime. In the second
half, Roosevelt junior running back Xavier Ramirez scored two touchdowns. That effort, in
addition to the willpower of a defense that kept Lutheran scoreless in the fourth quarter,
gave Roosevelt the 34-24 victory; and
WHEREAS, while Roosevelt's first -ever football state championship is special, equally
commendable is the example that coaches, players and parents have set for the entire
Johnstown/Milliken community. The accomplishments of this year prove that anything is
possible when a goal is paired with a strong work ethic, determination and a willingness to
work together. Know that the success of this season will serve as a lasting example to
younger students who aim to achieve similar excellence in athletics or academics.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the Board of Weld County Commissioners
that the 13th day of December 2022, be known as Roosevelt Roughriders Day.
Congratulations on a historic season.
