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.

4A: (4) Broomfield 38, (2) Loveland 12


The Eagles ended Loveland’s 14-game losing streak, knocking off the defending champions.

“We really got off to a fast start in the first half,” Broomfield coach Blair Hubbard told the Scoreboard Show. “We returned a kickoff for a touchdown, and our defense really played well in the first half, as well.”

“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

3A/4A: (3A 3) Mead 42, (4A 7) Skyline 14

Mead raced out to a big lead in the first half and never looked back in a big win.

The Mavericks led 27-0 at the half thanks to a 20-0 second-quarter advantage, and extended that lead to 42-0 with three minutes to play in the third quarter.

“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.”

“The guys stayed calmed and focused, and we were able to move the ball pretty well,” Discovery Canyon coach Shawn Mitchell said. “The offense did a really nice job putting together some good touchdowns.”

“Just overall really happy with the way we played tonight. It wasn’t perfect, but we did a lot of things right.”

Holyoke is now 2-0 this season.

Time: 7:00 pm

On the call: Chris Brom (Play by play)

Blecha on the matchup: The Tigers surprised many with their overtime win last week. Eaton has a good nucleus back from a club that controlled most of last year’s meeting between the Tigers and Reds. Chris “Bull” Brom will handle play-by-play duties. He’s intrigued to see the growth from the young Tiger offensive line to see if they can duplicate last week’s effort.

On the Call: Caleb Burggraaf (PxP) Jack Spadey (Color)

The game: The 2019 season did not start the way Salida was hoping. The Spartans are reeling from a loss to Summit and are looking to bounce back against Manitou Springs, a team they dominated last season. The Mustangs are filled mostly with freshmen and sophomores giving them limited experience on the field. They’ll hope to counter that with the single wing offense that has been associated with the program for decades.

Prairie’s Hannah Kinnison shows that Division I volleyball talent is littered throughout Colorado

(Kevin Saffer/MaxPreps)

A stigma sometimes exists in high school sports that if an athlete wants to play their sport at a high level in college, they must play at a big high school.

Prairie’s Hannah Kinnison is just another example that talent can be found anywhere. It doesn’t have to be concentrated in the biggest schools of the biggest area.

The actual town that Prairie resides in has two “official” names. Legally it’s known as Raymer. The United States Post Office lists the town as New Raymer.

Regardless of what name it goes by, the town is small. Population as of 2010 was 95 people. That number had estimated to have grown to 105 by 2016.

But as of October, the one thing that was clear was that the town contained Division I volleyball talent.

“It has always been my dream to play D-I,” Kinnison said. “I decided early that I was going to work my butt off and just do it. I started working, playing a lot and getting in the gym.”

Kinnison stood out in a big way in her first two years on the Mustangs’ roster. She totaled 789 kills in 156 sets played.

In her freshman season, Kinnison helped Prairie advance to the semifinals of the Class 1A state tournament before losing to eventual champion Fleming.

Although the Mustangs fell off a bit in 2017 — going 13-12 and not advancing out of districts — Kinnison still shined on the court.

She had better kill numbers (411 to 378) and her hitting percentage remained consistent (about 23 percent both years).

She didn’t log any time of the floor for the Mustangs in 2018 after tearing her ACL. The injury cost her a year of competition which is something that can be difficult for a teenager trying to both enjoy the game she loves and find her way to the collegiate level.

“It was painful and one of the toughest things I’ve ever gone through,” she said. “I think mentally it makes you so strong. It might’ve been better for me in the long run but at the time, it killed me.”

Last October she announced her commitment to the University of San Francisco making her the eighth Division I commit out of Colorado. The other seven come from schools that play at a 4A level or higher.

To someone like Kinnison, however, that means nothing. It’s not about where someone goes to school as much as it is about the work they’re willing to put it. If they invest in themselves, reaching their goals become much easier.

“I really think anybody can do it,” she said. “Of course you have to have talent, but if you don’t work at it you’re not going anywhere.”

Now back to full health and with her college choice made, Kinnison is looking forward to getting back on the court with the Mustangs for her senior season.

She clearly remembers the joys that came with successful seasons and is looking forward to sharing those moments again with her friends.

“I’m looking forward to playing with the girls in my class,” she said. “We have a good senior class and there are some younger kids that are super athletic. I’m just hoping to be a leader for them and be a good role model and hopefully lead them to state.”

All-state baseball teams for the 2019 season

The 2019 all-state baseball teams honor the best players in the sport as judged by the leagues and coaches. They 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.

Player and coach of the year was also selected by a vote of the coaches.
