Skyline’s Logan Miller had one of the best receiving performances in state history in the Falcons’ 33-21 win over Longmont Thursday, catching 10 passes for an unofficial count of 290 yards and four touchdowns.
If that does indeed end up being the official mark, Miller’s performance would be tied for the state’s 14th-most receiving yards in a single game.
He would move ahead of Fairview grad and current Colorado State defensive back Henry Blackburn, who had 284 receiving yards on Halloween in 2019.
The mark would mirror a 2014 performance from Longmont Christian grad Cameron Jauregui. The former multi-sport standout still holds the state’s best mark when he had 362 receiving yards in a game in 2016. It came a week after he posted 356, third all-time.
In this week’s recap of the local football scene, BoCoPreps.com teams went 9-5 through Friday night. Last week, teams went 10-4.
Below is a recap of scores and highlights from Thursday and Friday. Saturday, in the only area game, Prospect Ridge (1-2) hosts Manitou Springs (2-1).

Against the ninth-ranked team in Class 5A, Lerma hit Marcus Romero for the pair’s third TD connection of the season to put Legacy (3-2) ahead 24-7 in the second quarter. He added his third rushing score of the night in the fourth, a 14-yard run that made it 38-24.
Brandon Sanchez, the school’s premier middle infielder in baseball, had earlier scored on an 11-yard rush to put the Lightning ahead 14-0 in the first quarter. It was his first TD of the season.
Last week, Legacy beat then-ranked No. 10 Mountain Vista 41-28.
Legacy is at Rangeview Thursday.
Fairview 24, Douglas County 17: Tied 17-all, senior Zach Lewis scored his second rushing TD of the night in the fourth quarter to lift Fairview to 4-1 on the season.
Lewis’ 7-yard run was the game-winner as the Knights and their usual pass-crazed offense scored all three of their TDs on the ground against the Huskies. Jace Hines had the other TD.
This season, Fairview’s rushing attack has been more productive than usual, totaling nine of the team’s 21 offensive TDs.
Coach Tom McCartney and company will face Boulder at 5 p.m. Friday at Recht Field.
Silver Creek 33, Greeley West 14: Eli Mires threw one TD pass to Birch Neeld, and another late in fourth to Bubba Fisk to give the Raptors a two-score separation.
