Regis Jesuit High School Football Playoff History (1990‑Present)
Since the early ’90s, the Regis Jesuit Rams have become a cornerstone of Aurora’s high‑school football scene. Over the past three decades the program has logged more than 30 playoff appearances, turning the school’s green-and‑gold field into a regular stop for football fans across the Denver metro area.
1990‑1999: Building the Foundation The Rams cracked the playoffs for the first time in 1992, sparking a decade‑long stretch that saw them qualify nine times before the turn of the millennium. Memorable moments include the 1995 quarter‑final upset over rival Cherry Creek and the 1998 defensive showdown that earned the team a regional championship berth.
2000‑2009: The Rise of a Contender The new millennium brought a surge of talent. From 2002 to 2007, Regis Jesuit reached the state semifinals three times, highlighted by the 2004 “Rams Rampage” season when the squad posted a 12‑1 record and advanced to the Class 5A championship game. Local supporters still reminisce about the electric atmosphere at Aurora High School Stadium during those Friday night lights.
2010‑Present: Consistent Powerhouse In the last ten years the Rams have maintained a steady playoff presence, qualifying in 11 of 13 seasons. The 2016 and 2021 teams each secured a regional title, and the 2023 squad posted a school‑record 13‑0 regular‑season run before falling in the state semifinals.
For Aurora residents, Regis Jesuit football isn’t just a sport—it’s a community tradition. From tailgate gatherings at the Regis Jesuit Athletic Complex to youth clinics that inspire the next generation of Rams, the playoff legacy since 1990 continues to rally families, alumni, and neighbors alike.
