Regis Jesuit defeats Valor Christian in season opener, 24-21

Regis Jesuit wanted revenge and earned it in a close one against Valor Christian.

PARKER, Colo. — Thanks to a hat trick from senior running back, Anthony Medina, the Raiders sought to avenge their playoff loss to the Eagles from last season, which ended their season.

Regis Jesuit hosted Valor Christian at Echopark stadium Saturday night in a Class 5A clash, one that would come down to the final minutes.

Medina rushed for one touchdown and caught two in the air from junior quarterback, Peyton Lindell.

Tied at 21, Regis Jesuit kicker, Jack Manthey, came in clutch, converting a 24-yard field goal that would end up being the game-winner.

Final: Regis Jesuit 24 Valor Christian 21.

"We wanted that revenge from the playoffs last year," Medina said. "I wasn't letting my seniors down last year and we're just getting started."
