  • All-state football teams for the 2018 season

    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.

  • Football roundup: Hoehne beats Holly in top-10 8-man matchup

    Hoehne took a big step toward securing a league championship in the Arkansas Valley with a win over Holly on Friday.

    The third-ranked Farmers beat Holly 54-20.

    Holly actually led the game 20-8 in the first quarter, meaning Hoehne ripped off 46 unanswered points.

    “It was kind of scary at first,” coach Gabe Dasko told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We made some defensive adjustments, and our kids kind of wore them down physically. Our kids are pretty physical.

    “I mean, we’d rather play football in a phone booth,” Dasko continued. “They kind of spread you out, and they put you in some tough situations.”

    Hoehne is now 5-1, and 4-0 in the Arkansas Valley. Every other team in the league has at least one loss.

    “It’s not over yet,” Dasko said. “We’ve still got Wiley and McClave. We’re not good enough right now to take anybody lightly. McClave looks like they’re playing pretty decent right now. And we’ve just got to keep sharpening the edge on the knife for our kids, and getting better every week.”

    3A: (8) Pueblo East 41, Pueblo South 14

    Luc Andrada threw four touchdowns as the Eagles won the Cannon Game against their rivals. Three of those went to star wideout Kain Medrano.

    Patrick Gonzales also rushed for three scores for Pueblo East.

    It was the first week of league play in the newly-realigned South Central League, which features five Pueblo teams together along with Durango.

    2A: (7) Salida 35, Pagosa Springs 7

    Salida is now 6-0 after beating Pagosa Springs 35-7.

    “I think last year set the table for us,” first-year Spartans coach Matt Luttrell told the Scoreboard Show. “The kids have been well-coached up to this point. Eric Handke did a great job kind of passing the baton on to me. And I’ve been around these kids since they were freshmen, as well. It’s just fun to be a part of. Last year definitely set the tone for us.”
