  • All-state football teams for the 2020 season

    The 2020 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.

    These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.

    Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.

    CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created from the results of the coaches’ vote.

    Because there will be two football seasons during the 2020-21 school year, this is the all-state football team for Season A. There will be a separate all-state football team released for Season C.

  • Photos: No. 3 Ponderosa football tops Longmont in 4A

    4A No. 3 Ponderosa football ended the regular season 6-0 with a 40-13 win over Longmont on Saturday.

  • Football roundup: Palisade uses its ground game to win top-10 game vs. Green Mountain

    (NFHS Network)

    Palisade’s rushing attack held off a monster game from Allen Ortiz, and the Bulldogs beat Green Mountain in a 3A top-10 battle.

    Gabe Harrison had two scores to lead Palisade’s offense, while Franklin Barks and Julio Rodriguez also scored on the ground as the eighth-ranked Bulldogs beat seventh-ranked Green Mountain 31-24.

    “We knew we had to win to stay in the hunt,” Palisade coach Joe Ramunno told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show.

    The Bulldogs are now 3-1 this season, with tough games against Conifer and Eagle Valley remaining.

    “It’s tough, you’ve got to win to stay in, I know that,” Rammuno said.

    Green Mountain’s Ortiz had four receiving touchdowns, twice scoring from 80 yards out. He also had touchdown catches of 56 and 22 yards.

    “Boy, there’s a lot of talent on the field,” Rammuno said. “Green Mountain’s got a fine football team.”

    The coach added that his team’s own passing attack helped to open the ground game.

    “We were able to have some balance offensively,” Rammuno said. “We were able to get the ball in the air a little bit, which really opened up our option game. Tremendous effort by our guys.”

    Down 6-0 after the first quarter, Palisade scored twice in the second to go up 14-6 at halftime. The second score came via a 28-yard score by Harrison.

    In the third quarter, Rodriguez pushed the lead to 21-12 with his touchdown.

    Later in that same frame, the third of Ortiz’s scores cut it to 21-18, but Palisade, and Harrison, responded. His second TD made it 28-18 late in the third.

    The score stayed that way until Rudolfo Dexter made a 40-yard field goal with four minutes to play, pushing the lead to 31-18.

    Ortiz’s final score made it 31-24 with two minutes to play, but Palisade recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock.

    Palisade’s defense had two interceptions in the win.

    4A: (9) Fountain-Fort Carson 35, (8) Pueblo West 21

    A close game throughout, the Trojans get a key touchdown from Q Jones with 5:54 to play that made it 35-21.

    Fountain-Fort Carson led 20-7 after the first quarter, but Pueblo West slowly chipped away that that lead. It was 20-14 midway through the third quarter, and later 27-21 early in the fourth.

    But Jones’ 15-yard score seemed to put the game away:

    Fountain-Fort Carson is now 4-0 this season.

    8-man: (3) Sanford 36, (6) Dove Creek 12

    Sanford turned an 18-6 first-half lead into a big top-10 win.

    After the half, Sanford’s defense made a stop and the offense responded.

    “We came out and had a really good stop on their first possession,” Sanford coach Joe Cary told the Scoreboard Show. “Our offense started clicking a little bit better. We started figuring out some different things on how to go at them. The had two great, big linebackers that were really tough in the middle, so we had to figure out how to go around them. We had a few things that we did, and it seemed to work.”

    Sanford is now 4-0 this season, but Cary thinks they haven’t yet reached their potential.

    “I still don’t think we’ve seen our team play at the level that we want them to,” the coach said. “We’re not content with where we’re at. We’re going to keep pushing to try to get to that level.”

    6-man: (4) Granada 67, (7) Cheraw 60

    It was a shootout in a big top-10 matchup.

    Cheraw led 60-45 in the fourth quarter, but Granada was able to rally for the win.

    “It was a very, very wild football,” coach Traegon Marquez told the Scoreboard Show. “A fun one to be a part of. But ‘wild,’ I think, is a mild way to put it.”
