Ignacio to Host Manual in Season Opener

IGNACIO, Colo. — The Ignacio Bobcats will begin their 2025–26 football campaign at home on Friday night, welcoming the Manual Thunderbolts of Denver for a non-conference matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on August 22.

Both teams come into the opener with identical 0-0 records, eager to set the tone for the season ahead. Ignacio enters ranked No. 172 in Colorado, while Manual sits just one spot higher at No. 171, underscoring how closely matched the programs appear on paper.

This will be the first meeting between the Bobcats and Thunderbolts, adding to the anticipation as fans get their first look at how each squad stacks up in 2025. With no prior head-to-head history and no common opponents yet, the matchup offers a clean slate and an early test for both sides.

For Ignacio, the home field provides an opportunity to establish early momentum in front of local supporters. Manual, meanwhile, will look to make a strong statement on the road as it opens its season in the Southwest.

Friday night’s clash sets the stage for what promises to be a competitive opener between two evenly matched programs ready to prove themselves.
