Valor Christian senior Christian McCaffrey already had first-hand experience of the type of football program Columbine has even before taking the field Friday night.
Valor Christian's athletic programs will reside in the Jefferson County League for the 2014-16 cycle. The school is independent of a league during the current two-year cycle.
Seventh-seeded Columbine got three rushing touchdowns from Jeremy Aparicio and easily handled No. 10 Grand Junction, 41-7, in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs.
