  • All-state football teams for the 2019 season

    The 2019 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.

  • Football roundup: Alamosa knocks off No. 1 La Junta in 2A

    (@erik_melgoza/Twitter)

    Alamosa and new coach Drew Sandlin have a signature win early in the 2019 season.

    The Mean Moose knocked off defending Class 2A champion and top-ranked La Junta 22-6, on the road, no less. It put an end to La Junta’s 14-game winning streak, which had been tied for the longest in the state.

    Alamosa led 7-0 at the half, and pushed it to 14-0 midway through the third. La Junta returned an interception for a score later in that quarter, but then Alamosa scored again, securing the win.

    8-man: (5) Mancos 48, (3) Merino 34

    Trailing 8-0 after the first quarter, Mancos rallied to score 18 consecutive points in the second quarter to build a lead. The Bluejays continued the momentum in the third quarter, and ultimately fended off a late rally to secure the top-5 win.

    “We made a lot of mistakes in the beginning,” Mancos coach Josh Gardner told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “And one of the messages I was trying to get to our boys last night at the hotel, and today, was you’re going to make mistakes, but you have to forget about it, you have to move on. And so at halftime, we just kind of sat together and talked about it. We said, ‘Hey, you made mistakes, that’s ok. You’ve got to forget about it, and you’ve got to move on.’ And I think that was the difference. We were able to move on from those big mistakes.”

    Chase Moore had three rushing touchdowns, including a 52-yard score in the second quarter which got the scoring started for Mancos, and a 39-yarder early in the third quarter that made it 24-16.

    Anthony Medina had two rushing scores, while Breccen Morelli had a score through the air and on the ground.

    Mancos pushed its lead to 34-16 as the fourth quarter started. Two quick touchdowns from Merino made it 34-28. Morelli threw a 74-yard touchdown with four minutes to play to put Mancos back up two scores, but Merino responded with a score with less than two minutes to play, making it 40-34.

    Medina then added his second rushing score, a 57-yarder, in the final minute to make it 48-34.

    “It was pretty crazy,” Gardner said. “Merino was a hard-fighting team, and they just could not let us get any distance. They fought real hard, we fought real hard, and yeah, it was a little wild and crazy at the end.”

    Mancos is now 2-0 this season.

    “We’re trying to change the mentality of our program,” Gardner said. “We’re trying to be as confident as we can be. We’re trying to just play with a positive attitude, and just keep our spirits high, and you’ve just got to forget when you make mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.”

    3A: Frederick 21, (7) Erie 20

    Frederick won its rivalry contest against No. 7 Erie thanks to this stop of a two-point conversion attempt:

    Frederick coach Travis Peeples told the Scoreboard Show that it was “a great night to be here. A great win.”

    The Warriors, now 2-0, were led by quarterback Jake Green.

    “He kind of took the game over,” Peeples said. “He was a big difference tonight in getting us the win.”

    Of the late two-point conversion stop, Peeples said: “We kinda were ready for what they were going to do, and we prepared all week for it. … It was exhilarating. The crowd, it was a packed house, and it was just an unbelievable win. Our kids kinda willed themselves to win the game. They wanted this really bad for our community and our school.”

    3A: (4) Green Mountain 28, (2) Palisade 14

    Green Mountain quarterback Trey Towndrow threw four touchdown passes, two each in the first and third quarters, as the Rams went on the road to secure a big win.

    “It was a great win, a great battle,” Green Mountain coach Jesse German told the Scoreboard Show. “Our kids, they just hung in there and they just kept fighting.”

    Palisade tried to rally late, but Green Mountain wouldn’t let the Bulldogs get back in the game.

    “Huge win for us,” German said. “Super proud of our boys just to keep fighting and finishing that game.”

    On Towndrow, German added: “He’s one of the top quarterbacks in the state, and really one of the top athletes in the state. I think he’s a game-changer for us.”

    Here’s a recap of the game from the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.

    3A/4A: Sand Creek 21, Cheyenne Mountain 6

    Following this win over Cheyenne Mountain, Sand Creek has matched its win total of the the previous four seasons combined.

    The Scorpions, led by first-year coach James Everett, are 2-0 for the first time since 2013.

    “This is exciting, man,” Everett told the Scoreboard Show. “The school is behind us, the community is behind us. We had a packed house tonight. we had guys outside of the gate watching the game. It was a nice atmosphere to be in tonight.”

    Here’s a recap of the game from the Colorado Springs Gazette.

  • Football roundup: Palisade wins top-10 3A showdown at Durango

    Quarterback Cam Tucker had two rushing TD as No. 2 Palisade rallied from down 11-10 at the half for a big win over No. 10 Durango.

    The Bulldogs won, 25-18.

    The game was tied at 18 with seven minutes to play, according to the Durango Herald, when Tucker led his team down the field again, and Palisade took a 25-17 lead with 3:23 to go when backup quarterback Gabe Harrison scored on the ground.

    “It was a tough battle,” Palisade coach Joe Ramunno told the Scoreboard Show.

    Palisade had a few long drives in the second half which helped them keep Durango’s offense off the field.

    “We were able to put some long drives together,” Ramunno said. “Early in the game, we turned the ball over and it cost us a couple of scoring opportunities. But that’s all part of it. We really rallied in the second half, and held on to the ball, and had some long drives that ate a lot of clock — we were having a really hard time stopping them, because they’re very explosive.”

    Harrison was in the game because Tucker injured his ankle, Ramunno said, adding that he wasn’t yet sure how serious it was.

    “It was a tough deal, but our team rallied to finish it off,” Ramunno said.

    The Durango Herald has a complete game story from this matchup.

    “Defensively, it’s just a total team effort,” Hubbard said. “Tonight, against an offense like Loveland, it has to be a total team effort. And the guys really worked hard through the week. … It’s very difficult to stop their offense

    “It was a fun night,” Mead coach Jason Klatt told the Scoreboard Show. “I’m proud of our guys.”

    Skyline’s potent offense didn’t get on the board until the fourth quarter.

    “It really shows the effort that our defense gave tonight,” Klatt said. “They’re not going to get the credit they deserve, but, man, it was one heck of an effort.”

    Eads’ ground attack was certainly working on Friday night.

    The Eagles rushed for 11 touchdowns in a 6-man win over Manzanola, 78-48. That figure is the third-most in state history, trailing only Briggsdale’s 14 in 2016 and 12 from Hugo in 1930.

    Junior Damien Barnes was spectacular, rushing for 368 yards and seven touchdowns on 27 carries. He averaged 13.6 yards per carry.

    Senior Angel Medina also had quite the night, rushing for 131 yards and four touchdowns on nine carries. He averaged 14.6 yards per carry.

    Eads also rushed for eight touchdowns in their season-opening win against Genoa-Hugo last week. Barnes had six scores in that game, making him the current state leader with 13 rushing touchdowns.

    Eads is averaging 69.5 points per game so far this season.
