COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO)--Pine Creek football believes it is on the verge of something special. After a strong 7-3 season in 2025, the Eagles enter this fall with heightened expectations and a chip on their shoulder. Head coach Trevor Hudson, entering his second season at the helm, has brought stability and continuity to a program that was searching for direction. “Building that connection from last year onto this year, it's really a game changer for real,” senior running back Xavier Lukes said. Senior athlete Brady Walden praised Hudson's impact, noting the challenge of taking over a program after previous coaching turnover.
