It was Boulder High senior Eric Ramirez that scored it for the Panthers.
The lone goal in the game between No. 1 Boulder and No. 2 Broomfield came off a header by Ramirez in the first half, assisted by Omar Castruita. Ramirez scored only one goal last season for Boulder.
Goalie Cameron Casey had seven saves in the game.
The Panthers, defending champions in Class 5A, start the season 2-0. Castruita netted a hat trick in Boulder’s opening 3-1 win against Heritage.

Battle Mountain (No. 2 Class 4A) topped Vail Mountain (No. 8 Class 3A) on Saturday.
The Huskies put in two second half goals to distance themselves from Vail Mountain and come away with the 3-0 win.
Battle Mountain lost in the championship game last year to The Classical Academy.
