Friday night means high school football fields will be packed with students, fans and great games.
But there are those who cannot make those games at time. But fear not as some of the best games around the state are routinely available via radio airways or internet streams.
Below is a list of Week 5 games that can be heard through audio broadcasts.
(If any stations are interested in featuring their games in this weekly post, please send an email to dmohrmann@chsaa.org)
On the matchup: The Buena Vista Demons have been impressive in their past few games, getting off to an undefeated start. Reasons why can be attributed to a lot, but the retooled offensive and defensive lines have had much to do with it. How will they handle their biggest test of the season remains to be seen though. Centauri is always a powerhouse for the 1A classification and have some true size on their front lines. Also, the Demons lost senior safety and wide receiver Luke Yates to an ankle injury for at least this week. That could be a point the Falcons will attempt to attack in the game.
On the matchup: The Spartans are getting some help with a few new faces out, but they won’t be ready for tonight’s game with Cedaredge. That means it is one more chance for the Spartans young offensive line to make a push and standout. That has been the focal point for the Spartans, and with the Bruins coming in as a 1A team, the Spartans are hoping to earn some confidence before league. The Bruins have a strong running attack though, and with that, comes the knowledge that their line is still going to challenge Salida. A big game for both sides as league play is on the horizon.
Johnson on the matchup: The Cougars rolled the Rebels in the teams’ only previous meeting last year 41-0 in Keenesburg. We’ll be keeping an eye on Cougar junior Tanner Applebee who leads the state in sacks with 10.5 over the first 3 weeks. Tonight’s game is being played at the brand new stadium at Severance High School with coverage beginning at 6:30 on 1310 KFKA Preps Radio.
On the matchup: As Jim Davis pointed out on his morning radio show Friday morning, Grand Junction is one of the top scoring teams in the state 159 points in four games. Carson Loveridge leads the Tigers with 577 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the year. Fruita is off to a 1-2 start and will rely heavily on Denim Luster to control the game on the ground. The Wildcats beat GJ 34-9 in last year’s battle for the Black and Blue Trophy.
Three classifications got new No. 1 teams in this week’s volleyball rankings. Rampart (5A), Discovery Canyon (4A) and Prairie (1A) have each taken over at the top.
The rankings, voted upon by coaches and select media members, are the official polls of the Association. Polls are released each Monday.

DENVER — In one of the most spectacular venues for Colorado sports, the Pepsi Center, Trey Geyer became the first two-time wrestling champion for his school.
“It’s just another step closer to being what I’ve always dreamed about, the first four-timer in Cedaredge history,” he said of topping the 120-pound bracket. “Being the first two-timer is pretty amazing.”
When Sean Dale and Geyer clinched finals victories a season ago, they ended a 32-year title drought for the program. A surprisingly quick pin of Rocky Ford senior Dillon Jaramillo on Saturday, a Class 2A match that only took one minute, 47 seconds, was another achievement for Geyer.
What a way to open a prep career.
“I think it means a lot to everyone, because nobody’s really seen us as a wrestling school until the last couple years,” the sophomore said.
Geyer was a top-notch competitor all season with a 37-3 record. When he spoke after the match, his excitement had much to do with representing his program (Taj Van de Linde, 220 winner), his school, and even his family. His brother is working on the craft as well.
“He’s a sixth grader this year, so he’ll get to see what the middle school state championship is like back up here in April,” Geyer said.
The Cedaredge star was one of several repeat winners in 2A while the Eagles of Wray clinched back-to-back team titles with 166 points. The runner-up was Cedaredge with 96, just nipping Centauri (95).

As one of the more entertaining wrestlers under the bright lights, John Mall’s Wesley Van Matre put three fingers up and completed an acrobatic move after he defeated Tyler Collins (Wray) in the 138-pound finals.
“I told my buddy I would do a flip if I win and he didn’t believe I could do a backflip,” Van Matre stated matter-of-factly. “I think I won my bet.”
With a first round pin of his own (3:26), Van Matre positioned himself to become a four-timer as a senior. But, he won’t let his hunger diminish.
“I just want to get better at what I do every day and hopefully this happens next year,” the junior said. “The feeling gets better and better every year.”
John Mall teammate Anthony Aldretti rose up from the fifth seed to the top of the podium in the 132-pound class. He’s only a sophomore.

In the 106-pound division, Fowler senior Seth McFall (2A wrestler of the year) won back-to-back titles with a takedown of Rye freshman Cole Miller. One match later, Michael Atencio earned Rye’s first-ever individual state championship with a 5-1 decision over Rockwell.
Jayce Bauer (220) conquered a state bracket for the first time in his final prep match. Even better, he finished the season undefeated with a 39-0 record for County Line.
As for the team chase, Wray left no doubt who the 2A king would be this weekend. The Eagles didn’t have a single individual winner Saturday, but Collins, Cade Rockwell (113), Cade Hillman (160), and Carlos Tarin (170) all nabbed silver medals.
The Eagles now have 13 titles to their credit, but finally snapped a three-decade winless streak in 2018. Now they have begun a new championship era. Their depth and top-end talent led to a decisive win for coach Matt Brown’s crew and the tradition-rich Eagles were flying high again. Wray was able to top a terrific 2A field.
