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.”

4A: Grand Junction Central at Grand Junction
Game time: 7 p.m. kick
Station: The Team 1340
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.”
Hear the game on 1340 The TEAM, 102.1 Delta, 100.1 Montrose and streaming at theteam1340.com.

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.”
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.
[divider]
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.”

The 2018 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.
