•••

(3) Durango 34, (2) Holy Family 14

Durango built a 21-0 halftime lead, one it extended to 28-0 early in the third quarter as the Demons flexed their muscle in the win.

“The kids just executed our game plan perfectly,” Durango coach David Vogt told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “Our offense just really was rolling.”

Jordan Woolverton led the way for Durango with two rushing touchdowns, a passing score, and an interception on defense. Gage Mestas had two touchdowns: one receiving, and one rushing. Ben Finneseth also added a 40-yard rushing touchdown.

It is Durango’s first appearance in a championship game since 1988, and fourth overall. They are 0-3-1 all-time in title games.

“Every year, that’s our goal: To make it to the state championship,” Vogt said. “To accomplish that, it’s great for everybody who has ever been in the program. Everybody is so happy for the program, and the town is just elated, too.”

Class 2A

Bracket

• Matchup: Eaton vs. Lamar
• Kickoff: 12/4, 2 p.m.

•••

(5) Eaton 27, (1) Resurrection Christian 13

This will be Eaton’s first appearance in a state championship game since 2003, and the program’s eighth overall. Eaton has won one championship before, in 2000.

“The look on the players’ faces, it’s classic. It just brings tears to your eyes. Excited for them, that their hard work is playing off. You just love to see that look on their faces,” Eaton coach Zac Lemon told the Scoreboard Show.

Eaton led 14-7 at the half, and pushed their lead to 27-7 in the fourth quarter.

“We knew it was going to be a battle in the trenches. It wasn’t easy, but our guys battled,” Lemon said. “We did a little ‘bend, but don’t break.’ Guys played selfless, and excellent.”

•••

(7) Lamar 7, (6) Delta 6

Lamar’s lone score came less than a minute into the second quarter, when Zane Rankin hit Blake Buxton for a 38-yard touchdown. A Luis DeLaTorre extra point immediately after ultimately proved to be the difference in this game.

“Zane put it right on him for the touchdown,” Lamar coach Jason Tice told the Scoreboard Show.

The lead held through halftime and into the third quarter when Delta’s Nathan Scharnhorst scored from 6 yards out with 8 minutes remaining in the quarter. The extra point attempt, though, was not good.

“Our defense stood tall,” Tice said. “The defense really did a nice job today.”

Lamar will head to a title game for the first time since 1963.

“We’ve got great kids. This senior class is remarkable. It’s one of the best senior classes I’ve ever been a part of,” Tice said. “These guys just go out there and they play for one another. As a coach, that’s all you can ask for.”

Class 1A

Bracket

• Matchup: Limon vs. Strasburg
• Kickoff: 12/5, 10 a.m.

•••

(1) Limon 24, (4) Wray 14

The Badgers, two-time defending champions, are headed back to the title game.

Tied at halftime, Limon took a 14-7 lead with three minutes to play in the third following a long drive.

“Our kids did a really nice job,” Limon coach Mike O’Dwyer told the Scoreboard Show. “We had talked all week that this game was going to be 3 and 4 and 5 yards, and the team that can sustain that drive and not make mistakes and turn the ball over would win. I really thought our kids did a nice job. We ate up about 8 and a half minutes.”

The Badgers added a field goal early in the fourth to go ahead 17-7.

“To make it a two-score game, you felt a little bit more comfortable,” O’Dwyer said.

Wray cut the lead to 17-14 three minutes later, but Limon sealed the game with a touchdown pass with two minutes remaining.

“It was a great team effort on the defensive side,” O’Dwyer said.

Limon has the most championships of any program in the state, with 19. They have been to a title game 27 times before, also the most in the state.

Find a photo gallery of the game here.

•••

(2) Strasburg 27, (6) Centauri 14

For the fifth-straight year, Strasburg will head to the championship game. The squad has played Limon each of the past two seasons.

Down 14-0 in the first half, and 14-6 at halftime, Strasburg got a rushing touchdown and a two-point conversion midway through the third quarter to tie things at 14-14. Then, with five minutes to play in the fourth quarter, another rushing score gave Strasburg a 21-14 lead.

“When we got down 14-0, nothing was working for us offensively. Centauri came out and they were flying around the football,” Strasburg coach Brian Brown told the Scoreboard Show. “We told the boys, ‘We’re not used to this, but we got to keep our composure.’ Our boys, they never seem too worried about what the score is. They just know that if they keep doing the things they do best, good things will happen.”

They then sealed the game with a pick-6 with three minutes to play.

Strasburg will be making its seventh appearance in a championship game.

8-man

Bracket

• Matchup: Sedgwick County vs. Sanford
• Kickoff: 12/3, 6 p.m.

•••

(1) Sedgwick County 46, (4) Dove Creek 6

The Cougars have advanced to their sixth-straight state title game, and are looking to become just the second program to ever win six consecutive championships. Only Limon has done it before, from 1963-68.

“I think later on down the road, we’ll be able to look back and realize what had happened. Right now, we’re just a one-day-at-a-time team, just like everybody else,” Sedgwick County coach Chris Michel told the Scoreboard Show.

Sedgwick County scored four times on the ground, once through the air, and also had a 64-yard punt return for a score. The Cougars led 40-6 at halftime.

“We do a really good job, when we get some momentum, of capitalizing on that,” Michel said.

•••

(2) Sanford 16, (6) Merino 14

This marks the first time in program history that Sanford will play for a state football championship.

“Beyond excited,” Sanford coach Joe Cary told the Scoreboard Show. “We’re extremely excited to be able to go and do this.”

Sanford trailed 14-8 at halftime in a physical game. They went ahead 16-14 in the fourth quarter on a speed-option play.

“The kids never dropped their heads,” Cary said. “Never once did they let the doubt creep in. They just fought and fought.”

6-man

Bracket

• Matchup: Fleming vs. Stratton/Liberty
• Kickoff: 12/3, 2 p.m.

•••

(1) Fleming 52, (4) Granada 46

It was a shootout back-and-forth kind of game between the two teams that saw a number of lead changes.

Granada led 46-38 in the fourth quarter, but a long touchdown run cut it to 46-44 for Fleming. The Wildcats then took the lead for good on an 8-yard pass.

“It was a great game,” Fleming coach John King told the Scoreboard Show.

Fleming, the defending champion, will head back to the championship game for a second year in a row, and for the seventh time in program history.

“I’m sure it’s going to be one heck of a test for us again,” King said.

•••

(2) Stratton/Liberty 36, (3) Cheyenne Wells 15

It’ll be a fourth-straight title game appearance for the Knighted Eagles, and a rematch of last year’s title game, won by Fleming.

Against Cheyenne Wells, Stratton/Liberty trailed 15-14 at halftime. They closed with 22 unanswered points.

“I thought we just played harder, with more heart, and more urgency, in the second half,” Stratton/Liberty Toby Kechter told the Scoreboard Show. “The second half, we just ran right at them and we finally found some holes.”

This will be Stratton/Liberty’s 15th championship game in program history.

“We’re excited. You take away our best player Week 2, and our kids really stepped up,” Kechter said. “They played with a lot of heart and desire and want-to.”

After a thrilling week of Colorado playoff football games, teams roll into semifinals this weekend. With upsets in nearly every big-school classification, intriguing matchups have been set as teams prepare to earn a chance to get to the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl in Pueblo to compete for state football championships.

Here is a look at the semifinal games for the big-school games this weekend.

Class 5A

• 5A football playoff bracket
• Watch both games on the NFHS Network

• • •

(4) Pomona at (1) Cherry Creek

Date and time: Nov. 28, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: Two coaches very familiar with each other will face off once again as they each look to claim another state title. Dave Logan led Cherry Creek to the 5A crown last year and has a team loaded with talent once again in 2020.

Quarterback Julian Hammond has thrown for over 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns and he also has the experience of leading the Bruins (7-0) to a state title. Cherry Creek won their quarterfinal game over Regis Jesuit 29-6 thanks to big plays from James Walker and Myles Purchase.

Pomona fell behind early in its quarterfinal game against Eaglecrest but behind Ian Dexter’s 101 rushing yards and the team’s six total rushing touchdowns, the Panthers grabbed a 49-14 win to advance.

Cherry Creek beat Pomona 12-7 in last year’s semifinals and the Panthers certainly wouldn’t mind evening the score this weekend.

• • •

(3) Legend at (2) Valor Christian

Date and time: Nov. 28, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: Without Gavin Sawchuk, it seemed like Valor Christian’s game against Cherokee Trail was going to get a whole lot tougher. But Zach Wiley had other plans.

The backup ran for four first-half touchdowns to help the Eagles (6-0) to a 49-14 win over the Cougars. A few of those touchdowns were set up by brilliant completions from Sean McNair to Tyler Larson.

Valor is looking to get back to the state title game after getting beaten in the state quarterfinals a year ago.

Speaking of backup running backs, no one had a better weekend than Legend’s Bryce Vaz.

The junior broke out for 310 yards and six touchdowns as the Titans (7-0) beat Fairview 56-35 to advance to the state semifinals for the first time in the program’s history. Vaz spent his freshman year at Valor and is looking forward to displaying his ability against his former school.

• Watch both games on the NFHS Network

• • •

(4) Loveland at (1) Dakota Ridge

Date and time: Nov. 28, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: Dakota Ridge wasn’t messing around when the postseason got underway as it scored 10 offensive touchdowns to beat Montrose 76-34 in the quarterfinals.

Ben Gultig ran for 101 yards and a touchdown and Noah Triplett accounted for three of the Eagles’ seven total rushing touchdowns on the day.

Loveland’s trip to the semifinals came thanks in part to a major boost on the defensive side of the ball.

Joe Killian’s pick-six was came at a crucial time and led the team to a 28-7 win over Broomfield, the 2019 4A runner-up. Zack Rakowsky had a banner day running the ball, amassing 183 yards and two touchdowns.

• • •

(2) Palmer Ridge at (6) Fountain-Fort Carson

Date and time: Nov. 28, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: Palmer Ridge is in search of its fourth straight state title and its first in 4A. The Bears (5-0) looked strong in their 32-7 win over Pine Creek in the quarterfinals.

Luke McAllister threw for 367 yards and five touchdowns, four of which landed in the hands of Marcellus Reed.

The Palmer Ridge passing attack will be countered by one of the best running backs in the state.

Q. Jones put his talent on a full display in the Trojans (6-1) 41-38 win over Ponderosa last week. Jones ran for 332 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

Palmer Ridge is on the road because of a rule in 4A through 6-man which allows teams with fewer postseason home games to host.

• Watch both games on the NFHS Network

• • •

(4) Pueblo South at (1) Roosevelt

Date and time: Nov. 28, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: Roosevelt was nearly the victim of a major upset at the hands of Fort Morgan in the quarterfinals.

A last-second field goal from Brecken Sawyer gave the Roughriders (6-0) the win and moved them on to the semis. Cooper Walton was also crucial to the win as he punched in two rushing touchdowns.

Pueblo South advanced to the semifinals due to Mead forfeiting their game last week because of COVID-19 issues.

The Colts (5-0) have looked strong all year as George Longoria has rushed for 816 yards and 12 touchdowns in just four games. South beat Vista Ridge 35-28 in its most recent game.

• • •

(3) Durango at (2) Holy Family

Date and time: Nov. 28, 12 p.m.

Breakdown: Holy Family made a big statement in its playoff opening win against Evergreen. The Tigers (7-0) maintained a balanced offensive attack as Michael White threw for 242 yards and four touchdowns.

Oscar Sena caught five passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns and the team overall rushed for 133 yards and a pair of scores.

Durango’s banner season continued as the Demons beat Lutheran 47-6 in the 3A quarterfinals.

Jordan Woolverton threw for 154 yards and three touchdowns while Ben Finneseth ran for 130 yards and scored two touchdowns.

Running back Q. Jones ran for over 300 yards to lead No. 6 Fountain-Fort Carson to a 41-38 win over No. 3 Ponderosa in the Class 4A football playoffs.

The state football playoffs are underway this week. Each bracket consists of eight teams with quarterfinals taking place this week before semifinals are played next week, ahead of the state championship games, all of which will be played at Colorado State University Pueblo.

With four games in all seven classifications, here is a breakdown of this week’s big-school matchups:

• • •

(8) Regis Jesuit at (1) Cherry Creek

Date and time: Nov. 20, 4 p.m.

Breakdown: There has been no slowing down for Cherry Creek (6-0) since the Bruins claimed the 5A title last December. They haven’t been shy about putting up points and have only surrendered 28 total points all year. Quarterback Julian Hammond has thrown for 1,027 yards and 17 touchdowns while James Walker II has rushed for 566 yards and four touchdowns.

Regis Jesuit (5-1) has put together some impressive wins this season but fell to Legend, the only playoff team on its schedule. The Raiders have been paced all year by senior running back David Dody. Through the course of the season, he has rushed for 514 yards and nine touchdowns.

• • •

(5) Eaglecrest at (4) Pomona

Date and time: Nov. 20, 5 p.m.

Breakdown: As has been tradition in recent years, Pomona (6-0) has taken care of business this season. The Panthers won a key battle with Columbine to end the regular season and officially punch their ticket to the postseason. A big reason for that is Jack Pospisil. The senior has rushed for 593 yards and 10 touchdowns this year.

A Week 1 shootout made a lot of people pay attention to Eaglecrest’s (4-1) offensive potential. The Raptors got solid games from JP Luketu (547 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns) and anything can happen when quarterback Khalil Howard finds wide receiver Ty Robinson.

• • •

(7) Cherokee Trail at (2) Valor Christian

Date and time: Nov. 19, 6 p.m.

Breakdown: Under first-year head coach Donnie Yantis, Valor Christian (5-0) is looking to return to the state title game for the first time in two years. To get there, they’ll rely on Gavin Sawchuk, who has rushed for 993 yards and 16 touchdowns.

After dropping the first two games of the year, Cherokee Trail (4-2) battled its way into the 5A field. Quarterback Jayden Lavigne has been a big reason for those four straight wins as he’s totaled 1,287 passing yards and 13 touchdowns.

• • •

(6) Fairview at (3) Legend

Date and time: Nov. 21, 2:30 p.m.

Breakdown: In the first four games of the season, Legend surrendered just seven total points to its opponents. The Titans are looking strong heading into the postseason thanks in large part to the running game of Connor Eise (798 yards, eight touchdowns) and the complementary passing attack of Kalen Shoemaker (890 yards, 14 touchdowns).

After finding its footing through the first two games of the year, Fairview found its rhythm offensively. The Knights scored at least 42 points in each of their last four games of the year. Liam O’Brien threw for a staggering 310 yards per game and 18 total scores to just one interception.

• Watch all games live on the NFHS Network

• • •

(8) Montrose at (1) Dakota Ridge

Date and time: Nov. 21, 3 p.m.

Breakdown: Dakota Ridge (6-0) meant business from the second the first whistle blew to start the season. The Eagles outscored their first three opponents 155-26 and haven’t looked back since. Ben Gultig is completing 69 percent of his passes and has totaled 920 yards and 14 touchdowns.

A tough schedule put Montrose (4-2) right on the bubble, but they’ll have a chance to pull off a major shocker on Saturday. The team showed it can play with the best in 4A after leading Palmer Ridge at halftime of their game back on Oct. 30.

• • •

(5) Broomfield at (4) Loveland

Date and time: Nov. 20, 6:30 p.m.

Breakdown: A hard fought victory over Skyline last week kept Loveland (6-0) undefeated on the year and more importantly, battle tested heading into the postseason. Zack Rakowsky leads Loveland with 860 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns.

After getting to last year’s state title game, Broomfield (5-0) has every intention of making a return trip. Sophomore Cole Lacrue has shown poise at the quarterback position while throwing for 841 yards and nine touchdowns. As a team, the Eagles have forced a staggering 16 takeaways.

• • •

(7) Pine Creek at (2) Palmer Ridge

Date and time: Nov. 21, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: Arguably the most anticipated matchup of the week sees two teams who both claimed state titles last year. Palmer Ridge (4-0) won the 3A title while Pine Creek enters the postseason as the defending 4A champ. Luke McAllister has paced the Bears offensively with 1,070 passing yards and 16 touchdowns.

Playing a full 5A schedule should make Pine Creek (2-2) battle tested heading into the tournament. Beau Freyler and Zion Hill have rushed for a combined 555 yards and four touchdowns this year.

• • •

(6) Fountain-Fort Carson at (3) Ponderosa

Date and time: Nov. 21, 10:30 a.m.

Breakdown: A strong showing in the regular season saw Ponderosa (6-0) go undefeated. That included a thrilling last-minute win over Montrose on Nov. 6. Quarterback Jack Hanenburg has shown strong leadership all year as well as solid play. He has thrown for 1,078 yards and 11 touchdowns this year.

Fountain-Fort Carson (5-1) got rare regular season retribution to end the year by knocking off Rampart, the very team that handed FFC its lone loss of the season just a week earlier. Q. Jones is in the conversation for 4A player of the year as he averages over 232 rushing yards per game and has scored 16 rushing touchdowns this season.

• • •

(8) Fort Morgan at (1) Roosevelt

Date and time: Nov. 21, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: Since beating Mead 21-20 in overtime on Oct. 16, Roosevelt (5-0) has been the clear No. 1 in the 3A field. Brig Hartson is the catalyst of the team’s offense as he’s thrown for 838 yards and 13 touchdowns while also rushing for 204 yards and two scores.

With just one loss in the regular season, Fort Morgan (4-1) is looking to pull off a major upset in the quarterfinals. Briggs Wheatley has thrown for 563 yards and rushed for 417 and will need to pace the Mustangs in their bid to shake up the 3A field.

• • •

(5) Mead at (4) Pueblo South

Date and time: N/A

Breakdown: COVID-19 concerns prompted Mead (5-2) to withdraw from the game. Pueblo South (5-0) wins via forfeit and advances to the semifinals.

• • •

(7) Evergreen at (2) Holy Family

Date and time: Nov. 20, 6 p.m.

Breakdown: If there is one thing Holy Family (6-0) likes to do, it’s score points. The Tigers cross the 30-point mark in all but one of their games this season. Michael White and Trevin Johnson give the offense a bit of balance as White has thrown for 903 yards while Johnson has rushed for 786.

Losses to Palisade and Durango got Evergreen (4-2) off to a 2-2 start, but the Cougars finished strong to earn a postseason berth. They’ll have to rely on Noah Martens (871 rushing yards, three touchdowns) to control the time of possession and keep Holy Family off the field.

• • •

(6) Lutheran at (3) Durango

Date and time: Nov. 21, 1 p.m.

Breakdown: An undefeated regular season has given Durango (5-0) confidence that it can claim its first state football title since 1954. Jordan Woolverton has a cool command of the Demons offense, throwing for 629 yards and six touchdowns while adding five rushing touchdowns.

The lone loss of the year for Lutheran (4-1) came in the regular season finale against Holy Family. The Lions are hoping that a steady passing attack from Clayton Jacobs (1,082 yards, 13 touchdowns) will be too much for Durango to hang with.

A week after losing to Rampart, Fountain-Fort Carson got revenge with a 33-17 win on Friday night.

The eighth-ranked Trojans took a 13-10 lead just before halftime, then pushed the lead to 19-10 in the third quarter.

Rampart cut it to 19-17 midway through the third, but Fountain-Fort Carson responded to go up 26-17 on a touchdown pass from Tavian Tuli to Joshua Williams, and then scored again in the fourth quarter after to make it 33-17.

FFC finishes the regular season at 5-1, while Rampart is now 4-2.

The two teams matched up for a second-straight week due to COVID causing quarantines for their originally-scheduled opponents.

3A/4A: (5) Pueblo South 35, Vista Ridge 28

In another matchup that spawned out of COVID quarantines, South held off Vista Ridge’s last-minute drive to secure the win.

The Colts’ defense, which gave up 21 points (Vista Ridge had a return score), was the difference.

“Our kids are just absolutely resilient and tough,” Pueblo South coach Ryan Goddard told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “Everything we expect out of them everything we desire out of them, that’s what they were tonight.

“It just came down to our kids made a coupe of plays, put a little pressure on the quarterback,” Goddard said. “Our secondary played lights out, our linebackers played well, and our defensive line hung in there and tried to get after a really good quarterback.”

3A: (3) Durango 27, (10) Canon City 13

Playing without two top players due to quarantines, Durango held off a very good Canon City team to finish the regular season 5-0.

“Every week has been a struggle,” Durango coach David Vogt told the Scoreboard Show. “You never know what’s going to happen week-to-week. … For our kids to rally, it just shows the kind of kids we have here.”

1A: (6) Hotchkiss 49, Cedaredge 7

Hotchkiss won as Mordecai White had three touchdowns and 141 yards on nine carries.

The Bulldogs are 6-0.

“We’ve been building toward this,” Hotchkiss coach Curtis Hintz told the Scoreboard Show. “Last year, we were kind of there knocking on the door. … Kids left hungry. They’ve done a good job in the weight room. And, of course, with the year that it’s been with COVID, they’ve done a good job of controlling what they can control. It’s paid off during the regular season, and we’re looking forward to seeing how the bracket unfolds.”

COLORADO SPRINGS — Rampart football coach Troy Ward knows that through the course of a game, there are about five plays that really factor into the final outcome. No one usually knows what those five plays are until the final seconds tick away.

It was safe to say that the first few plays early in the third quarter were counted in Ward’s five. Class 4A No. 5 Fountain-Fort Carson fumbled the kickoff. A few plays later, Rampart quarterback Cale Cormaney ran for the Rams’ first touchdown of the game.

Those plays were among the five that resulted in Rampart coming away with a big 17-14 win and handing the Trojans their first loss of the season.

“That is one,” Ward said of the fumble on the kickoff. “That is one of those five plays. We had two interceptions. Those are huge plays. Our kids stepped up to the plate.”

Getting the win was also going to require something no team has been able to do all season: slow down Trojan running back Q. Jones. Among the top rushers in the state, Jones has proven to be a threat to score anytime he touches the ball.

“We knew how how good No. 20 is,” Ward said. “He’s the best running back that’s come out of southern Colorado in the last 15 years. There’s no doubt about that.”

The plan for slowing down Jones came down to what the Rams (4-1 overall, 3-1 4A Southern) could do offensively. Offensive coordinator Pat Bloemen ws intent on his squad sustaining long drives and chewing up as much time as possible.

The first touchdown for FFC (4-1, 3-1) came on a run from Tai Faavae. Rampart could only answer with a field goal and the Trojans went into halftime with a 7-3 lead.

Then the ball was turned over on the kick and Cormaney found the end zone. From that point on, Rampart looked like a very different team. The Trojans couldn’t get enough push in the trenches to slow the Rampart running attack when they really needed it.

“The big boys up front, all those kids up there are seniors except one, he’s a sophomore, and they played the best game I’ve ever seen them play,” Cormaney said. “I’ve never seen a group of men come together like that and fight.”

The Trojans regained the lead in the third quarter thanks to a short touchdown run from Jones. The Rams marched right down the field and Logan Candelaria ran in from one yard out in what turned out to be the game-winning score.

Rampart had a chance to push the lead to six, but a field goal attempt slammed off the upright giving the Trojans one last breath of life.

But it wasn’t meant to be as Tavian Tuli was picked off by Cormaney, sending the Rams sideline into a frenzy.

“That win right there proves that we get overlooked a lot,” Cormaney said. “I feel like we’re the hardest working team in the city, if not the entire state.”

Jake Novotny’s program is finally Jake Novotny’s program. After helping Colorado State University-Pueblo to a Division II national championship, Novotny decided it was time for a new challenge. He wanted to be a head coach.

Novotny was eventually hired at Fountain-Fort Carson after a tumultuous offseason that saw the sudden retirement of longtime coach Mitch Johnson. And while Johnson was a mainstay for the Trojans, and is still highly respected in the community, Novotny has put in the time and the effort to slowly transform FFC into a program guided by the vision of him and his loyal coaching staff.

And this year, the results of that vision are being seen. The Trojans, off to a 4-0 start and behind a fantastic season from running back Q. Jones, are showing that some of the best football in the state is being played off I-25 at exit 128. Following a big win over Pueblo West last weekend, Novotny is being honored as the Denver Broncos high school football coach of the week.

The Broncos coach of the week is selected in partnership with the Broncos. Find a complete list of winners on this page.

Question: Why do you coach?

Novotny: I coach to take young men where they can’t take themselves. I coach to be a role model and a mentor, and really prepare young men to be great citizens, fathers and overall just to be a good person when they graduate. I hope kids, when they leave our program, can say that’s what they’ve gotten out of our program.

Q: Who were some of your inspirations when you were playing that got you going down that path?

Novotny: Number one is my dad. My dad was our coach when I was younger. He was a youth basketball coach. He never was a high school coach, but he always instilled that love and passion for me to want to coach, we’d have conversations at the dinner table with him about it when we were young. I would say my high school coaches Larry Gile and Chris Enzminger and guys like that were great to me when I was younger at John F. Kennedy High School.

Ever since then, I can think of a mentor I’ve had. Mike Greibel, John Wristen, Donnell Leomiti — all those guys have been paramount in mentoring me to be where I am today as a coach.

Q: How big of a challenge did you see it when you accepted Fountain-Fort Carson as your first head coaching job?

Novotny: Given the circumstances surrounding the job, it was definitely a challenge to try and come in with when there was turmoil and different things going on. I didn’t think coaching the kids was going to be a challenge. I didn’t think instilling our philosophy would pose as a challenge. I knew what all those outlined factors would be.

I think that’s also kind of who I am. I’m somebody that likes being challenged and likes to attack something head on really put my stamp on something.

I think the challenge was everything that was surrounding it. It’s paid off tremendously for me and my family just in the experience you’ve had the last four or five years.

To answer it directly, it was a big challenge initially, but I don’t think anything worth having is not going to come with some, some type of challenge or adversity.

Q:You took some lickings your first few years. This is the year where everything kind of seems to come together. How much of that is the kids buying into the program? How much is it that everyone’s healthy? How much of it is it just feels like it’s your year?

Novotny: It’s a little bit of all that. I think 100 percent of it is surrounding our program with good people. We have a great coaching staff. I have 18 coaches and we have not turned over our coaches very much at all in the last five years.

The first year was rough. We had only five and we coached all three levels. Those original five are still with me to this day. And so to me that says a lot about what we’re trying to get accomplished when you have good people that want to stick around and continue to invest in the lives of young people.

That’s a big part of it, having consistency and continuity within our coaching staff because that message gets passed down through all levels.

And then it is everything that you said: It’s a case of buying in. They’re starting to see the benefit of our weight program and our culture that we’re trying to build. All of that is coming to fruition, quite honestly.

We have 30 seniors and their leadership and what our coaching staff has done to develop them as leaders is really the biggest reason why we’re having the success that we are. This group of seniors is really special and they want to leave a legacy.

When you have great leadership and the players are the ones driving the leadership and the culture and the coaches don’t have to, which the first couple of years was very coach driven, when you have those types of things happen, then you have the success translate on the field that we we’ve been lucky to experience this year.

Q: You were very vocal when the opportunity presented itself that the kids should be able to play in the fall. What did you see as the biggest benefit in getting them out there sooner than later?

Novotny: I saw kids in our community, in our program, in our school, I saw them struggling in May and June. The ones that we were lucky to have contact with through Zoom and FaceTime and all the different virtual things that we’ve come to know as the way of life right now, we stayed in contact with our guys as soon as we went on quarantine and kids were struggling mentally.

The up-and-down and the uncertainty of playing or not playing specifically for seniors was really difficult. For us, I think that the benefit is that we’re giving these guys some type of normalcy. We’re giving these guys an outlet away from all of the different things happening in the world that are so up and down and chaotic right now.

That was the biggest thing and giving these, specifically the seniors, a senior year as close to normal as possible. That’s been the biggest benefit and it’s helped our guys as I’m sure it has across the state. It’s helped them tremendously with just their mental makeup and their mental health.

I think that’s been the biggest thing. I see kids smiling and I see — gosh our grades were not where they needed to be when we started this thing. And now our F-list has been cut down by 75 percent and it’s been a good thing.

It’s been a good motivator for our kids in every shape and form. It’s been good for our community and our school. Everyone is excited to be a part of what our kids are doing right now.

Q: What have you learned about yourself and what have you learned about your kids through the COVID-19 pandemic?

Novotny: I’ve learned that our kids are resilient. I’ve learned that they will handle anything that’s put in front of them as long as there’s a clear plan and there is communication. And I think that’s my job.

That’s what I’ve learned the most about myself is that in times of uncertainty and adversity and things that maybe aren’t going the way you want them to, strong but calm leadership and direction and preparedness and communication will help guide you through that. I, as well as my coaching staff, have done a phenomenal job at that.

And I think that’s what I’ve learned most about myself is that no matter if it’s something big like the COVID-19 crisis or something small like a play not going your way in a game that how you approach anything is how your team and those that you are lucky enough to lead will approach it. I’ve learned that, but most importantly, I’m proud of our resiliency of our kids.

Q: I know that everyone sees this season as being fortunate to get out there and get the opportunity to play. Do you see your focus ever shifting to finishing what is turning out to be a special season for you guys?

Novotny: Look, winning is hard no matter what level you play. No matter the circumstances it’s presented with. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to be out there and 100 percent I’m blessed that we are doing that. I’m glad that we’ve been given the green light.

If we’re going to do it, we want to do it the right way. We want to do it to the best of our ability. We don’t ever want to just go out there just to be out there. I don’t think that the circumstances surrounding the season lessen what the season is. And I certainly don’t think there’s any type of asterisk or any type of “yeah buts” when it comes to this season.

If anything, to me, the circumstances surrounding the season make it even that more special because of all the uncertainty and all the different things that we’re trying to balance as coaches and as teachers, that our kids are trying to balance as students and players, trying to stay healthy, not only just through the rigors of the game, but stay healthy through the pandemic and dealing with grades and learning through virtual systems.

All of that stuff has added things that have made this even more of a battle than a normal season would be. It makes it that much more special to be out there and to have any type of success when you get that opportunity.
