The 2018 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.

COMMERCE CITY — Air Academy defended its 4A boys soccer championship with a win over Denver North.
[divider]
[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”1421″ display=”pro_mosaic”]

COMMERCE CITY — A year ago it took more than 80 minutes for Air Academy to score its championship goal.
This time, the Kadets couldn’t wait to take the lead. Luke Louthan found the net in the fifth minute to put Air Academy ahead. The Kadets hung on for a 2-0 win over Denver North to defend its Class 4A boys soccer state championship.
“Everybody was gunning for us for being the defending state champions,” Kadets coach Espen Hosoien said. “To be able to do that again with a lot of younger players and some that were here last year is unbelievably special.”
This marks the fifth state title for the Kadets (18-1-1 overall) who are now tied for third-most all-time in state history. It’s also the third state championship win for Air Academy since 2014 which, a feat already accomplished by Broomfield and Kent Denver.
Louthan’s goal didn’t change the way the Kadets approached the game. Hosoien continued to urge his players to attack the Vikings’ back line and in doing so, Thad Dewing had a few chances to to add to the lead.
Denver North keeper Byran Torres played each of Dewing’s shots perfectly, sending the ball away from the net and keeping the Vikings (16-2-2) within striking distance at halftime.
“I’ll give him a lot of credit,” Dewing said. “He played great and he came up with a lot of big saves.”
With the way Dewing was attacking in the first half, however, it was only a matter of time before he got one by Torres. A corner kick from Kameron Hooker was the opportunity Dewing needed.

He buried in the header to increase the lead and make clinching the title a family affair. Louthan and Dewing each had older siblings on the 2014 championship team.
“It felt great,” Dewing said. “It was a great goal by Luke and the second obviously gave us a little bit of confidence.”
No one had more confidence than keeper Thomas Beatty. The keeper for last year’s championship team, Beatty has now accumulated more than 160 minutes of playing time in a state championship atmosphere without giving up a single goal.
“I can’t say that I haven’t made great saves, but a lot of those saves came because my defenders were cutting down angles just enough,” Beatty said. “You can’t put the shutout on just me.”
The back line had suffered a setback in the middle of the year when defender Brayden Jonswold went down with a knee injury. He missed the remainder of the season, but the supporting cast for the Kadets was able to step up and not let the setback curb a championship run.
“We build a program down there and everybody buys into it,” Hosoien said. “It’s next man up when something like that happens and for me that’s so special.”
After Louthan scored the first goal, Hosoien said he thought the Kadets could have and maybe should have scored one or two more.
But the importance of that first one can’t be understated in that it helped Air Academy settle into a groove and bond together to hold on to that edge.
“It’s just came early,” Louthan said. “Then we had to play as a team to keep that lead.”
Their reward for playing as a team was back-to-back championships for the first time in school history.


AURORA — After sealing a 3-1 victory over Glenwood Springs in the Class 4A boys soccer semifinals at Legacy Stadium, the Kadets of Air Academy could achieve a rare feat, potentially winning back-to-back crowns in boys soccer.
No 4A program has double-dipped in consecutive seasons since Dakota Ridge (1997, 1998).
Air Academy is now 17-1-1 on the season with their only setback coming at the hands of 5A power, Boulder, in August. The Kadets are the No. 1 seed in the tournament.
The upset-minded Demons, the No. 20 seed, struck first on Wednesday though as Leo Micelles found the right side of the net with a left-footed touch in the 18th minute. Three minutes later, Thaddaeus Dewing snuck the equalizer past goalkeeper Carlos Guardado.
A second goal by Dewing a few minutes after that, he has a total of 26 on the season, provided an edge the Kadets wouldn’t relinquish. Adin Schwenke tacked on an insurance goal in the 53rd minute.
In last year’s finals, a sterling senior group for Air Academy helped top Centaurus 1-0.
And so, in a nearly unprecedented total for Colorado, the program will be appearing in their ninth boys soccer championship match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. They were the 5A winners in 1990 and the 4A champions in 2010, 2014, and 2017.
Glenwood Springs was hoping to appear in their first-ever finals, but bowed out with a 13-5-1 record. They rebounded in a big way this fall after dropping three of their initial four matches.

In the second semifinal clash, terrific defenses made it difficult for each team to break through.
A scoreless opening half, despite a few nifty header attempts and footwork moves by Denver North, continued into the second frame. Initially the Vikings’ Elliot Nottoli appeared to score a goal right before halftime, but he was offsides.
Finally, in the 48th minute he had a terrific cross to Jonathan Gonzalez, whose header touched net.
Then the North (16-1-2) defense, a group that has given up a mere six goals the entire season and outscored Littleton, Silver Creek, and Pueblo Centennial a combined 8-0 in earlier tournament rounds, did the rest in securing the Vikings’ first-ever berth in the boys soccer state finals.
A highly skilled group, North was equally capable using their feet or heads on Wednesday. They have relied plenty on a big batch of non-seniors, which includes leading goal-scorer Nottoli (sophomore), along with Gonzalez (junior), and Abel Torres (freshman).
As for TCA (15-4), the regular contenders had been clutch in the playoffs while overcoming both Holy Family and Skyview with penalty kicks. The Titans earned their first boys soccer crown in 2016 (7-1 over Battle Mountain) and were hoping to lock up their spot in the finals for the seventh time (runner-up in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015).
They also have a promising contingent returning.
