Our dude is ballinβ at the next level. Reporter Marty Cesario (@martycesario) confirmed that Jace Bellah (@jacebellah4) currently leads all of Division I FBS football in interceptions per game. Jace has grabbed 4 INTs in his last 4 games. He is also currently 5th on the team with 29 total tackles.
The Colorado State (@CSUFootball) walk-on is the definition of Southside toughness, knowing what it means to remain humble and continue working hard. We could not be more proud of Jace and we look forward to seeing what he accomplishes in these final few games.
The Rams are back in action Saturday against New Mexico.

We want to take a moment to congratulate our own Coach Ted Hernandez on being elected as the District 3 representative for Pueblo City Council.
Coach Tedβs love for others shines brightly as he leads and mentors the young men of our program every single day and prepares them for life beyond football in the process. But it is who Coach Ted is when he takes The Shoe off that we admire the most. Coach Ted has a heart for others that is unmatched. He is proof of a rose grown from the concrete with the understanding that there is never a moment in life where we can be satisfied because the job is never finished. There is always more to be done, more opportunities to serve, more chances to make the people around you better. There is no mountain top, only the journey to find more mountains to climb.
We cannot wait to see what is in store for our community with Coach Ted in leadership and we are confident that the future of Pueblo is in great hands. Thank you for everything you do for us today and every day and we are so proud and humbled to share you with others as you embark on this new journey.

Still fighting, there was one last phase to get to the mountaintop. 94 yards. One timeout. In the pouring rain.
We knew it was going to take every single one of us. From the players, to the coaches, to the crowd, there was never a doubt. The feeling started to become more clear as the ball was snapped: we were going to do this.
We never lead in regulation. After scoring the touchdown we needed with no time left on the clock, still down one point, there was only one choice: we were going for a two point conversion to win it all.
The moment felt much longer than it probably really was. Time slowed down. The crowd was insane and still, it felt like it was completely silent. From the release of the ball to the moment of celebration, time stood still. And thenβ¦fireworks.
The chance to write the storybook ending could only be described in one way: poetry.

The storm rolled in and sat over us for nearly the entirety of the game. The turf was slick, the ball was wet, and stakes were high. When some things didnβt go our way, we had one choice: Now or never, win or go home, stand tall or lay down. We knew we were never going to get this moment back, next year, this team will look completely different.
The decision was easy. Now. Win. Stand tall. Together.

There are so many pieces to the process no one gets to see. From the calm before the storm, to the process of waiting for kickoff, to the way we settle our nerves before the big moment, when writing the story of last Friday night, we did not want to leave anything out.
We are proud to bring you a cinematic look at the process.

Highly encourage you to check out this interview from @coloradopreps with our head coach @CoachRGoddard as they recap the 50th Cannon game and talk about everything from our bounce back from Week 1 to the play call on @Namon_Robinson5βs 2 point conversion after @CaedenHerreraβs game winning touchdown pass to @landen_cordova, Coachβs 100th win and everything in between.
Thank you to @DanMohrmann and crew for having us and thank you for all you do for high school sports in Colorado.

Caeden Herrera (@CaedenHerrera) threw this ball where only Landen Cordova (@landen_cordova) could go and get it and the junior wide receiver proceeded to make an absolutely grown man catch.
The real, the raw, the emotions. We could watch this video 1000 times and see something new every time. Colt Nation, youβre amazing.

What else can we say? We are going to remember this moment forever. Our goal this season is to be where our feet are planted, so we are going to enjoy this one.
We have A LOT of content coming your way this week, so we invite everyone to continue to give these guys love. At the end of the day, these kids are the most important piece. They are why we do what we do.
Puebloβs Pride. Southside forever.

Delayed but not denied.
In what was quite possibly the greatest ending to a football game we have ever seen, we are still living a dream today.
After an hour and a half long lightning delay, rain for most of the game and no points scored by us in the first 3 quarters, we scored 22 points in the 4th to secure the 50th Cannon game and Coach Goddardβs (@CoachRGoddard) 100th win.
How did we seal the deal? By going for 2. Win or go home without our cannon. Caeden Herrera (@CaedenHerrera) hits Namon Robinson (@namon_robinson) and we watch a 17 year old kid will his way into the end zone. The amount of ways this moment almost wasnβt until it was.
We could have given up after every bit of adversity we faced. But last night was one of lifeβs greatest teachers: just because your successes are delayed, does not mean they are being denied.
Southside forever.

It took a ton of heart, but this team was not walking way without earning coach Ryan Goddard his 100th Career win.
Built in the dark. Forged by the brotherhood. Southside forever.

We never lead in this game until we won. There are no words for what this moment feels like.
22 points in the 4th quarter, going for two to win it all, Ryan Goddardβs 100th win in the 50th Cannon Game.
This is the Southside. Delayed but not denied.

We wanted to take time out of our regularly scheduled program to give a big shoutout to Class of 2023 Pueblo South graduate Justin Arellano (@jbarellano06) on his success at the college level.
Arellano has become a staple of the bullpen at Adams State (@AdamsstateB) for coach Bruce DelTondo (@BruceDelTondo) in his sophomore season.
Against UCCS, he earned his first win and first save with a 0.151 era through 13.2 innings through the UCCS series. His performance that weekend earned him an RMAC Pitcher of the Week Nomination and honorable mention.
Adams State will take on CSU-Pueblo at Pack the Park at Runyon on Friday, April 25th, with the series finishing up at Rawlings the following two days. We encourage everyone to get out and support Justin as he and the Grizzlies take on the hometown Thunderwolves. We will post reminders as the weekendβs events get closer.
Congratulations on a solid outing, Justin. We are incredibly proud of you and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for you. Keep chasing greatness.

A quarter century of dominance. A quarter century of legacy. What has been achieved since 2000 was built brick by brick on the backs of some of the best athleteβs Pueblo has ever seen.
We are proud to carry on the legacy of those who came before us and work to build another 25 years of Colt Football excellence by continuing to add names to the list, gather team accolades and create an undeniable brotherhood.
