  • Matchup between 6-Man No. 3 Kit Carson and No. 5 Arickaree/Woodlin highlights Week 3 games on the radio

    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    Week 3 of high school football in Colorado kicked off on Thursday night, but Friday’s slate of games might be the best of the year so far.

    Among games that will be featured by CHSAANow.com and its various media partners, radio stations across the state will feature plenty of intriguing matchups.

    6-man: (3) Kit Carson at (5) Arickaree/Woodlin

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick.

    Station: KAT Country 98.3 FM

    On the call: Marc Romero

    Romero on the matchup: “Two teams that return a ton of experience from 2017. Arickaree/Woodlin doesn’t have any stats posted, but the names are basically the same for a group that has experience playing together in all sports. Kit Carson showed just how much offense they have (nearly 1200 returning passing yards and over 1900 rushing yards return from 2017) with the 73 points posted in week one.”

    On the call: Jim Davis (Play by Play), Nate Primrose (Color)

    Davis on the matchup: “The Tigers are coming off a 31-12 loss at Montrose, with the Warriors beating previously 6th ranked Fruita Monument 13-9. It was Central’s first win against the Wildcats since 2009. Grand Junction beat Central last year 21-0.”

    Rocky Ford at Lamar

    Game time: 7 p.m. kick

    Station: KLMR 920

    On the call: Ethan Denton

    Denton on the matchup: “Both teams are coming off losses in their opener. The host Savages look to take care of the ball much better, as four first-half turnovers doomed them at Limon last Friday. Rocky Ford’s spread offense had a hard time getting started two weeks ago against Florence and so this game may simply come down to who executes better for four quarters. Whoever can control field position will be in a good position to win.”

    Station: Orange and Blue 760

    On the call: Chad Andrus (Play by play), Matt McChesney (Color)

    Coloradoan’s Kevin Lytle on the matchup: “Windsor will continue to pound the run game like always. They had six different guys carry the ball last week. Ponderosa has to break through a Windsor defense that completely shut down Vista Ridge a week ago.”

    Hear the game on Orange and Blue 760 or through their stream via iHeartRadio.

    2A: Weld Central at University

    Game time: 7 p.m.

    Station: 1310 KFKA

    On the call: Clark Johnson (Play by play), Mike Danson (Color)

    Preps director Tanner Schwindt on the matchup: “Weld Central will be looking to bounce back after a tough opening loss against Englewood and look to find a quarterback in the process. University on the other hand is 1-1 and if they want to try and put together back to back wins they need to rely on that running game and an aggressive pass rush.”
