The 2020 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.

Because there will be two football seasons during the 2020-21 school year, this is the all-state football team for Season A. There will be a separate all-state football team released for Season C.

Up 17-7 at halftime, Holy Family really used a big second half to expand the lead en route to a top-10 win over Lutheran on Friday.

The Tigers, ranked No. 4 in Class 3A, beat No. 2 Lutheran 38-14.

“It was a great win for our kids,” Holy Family coach Michael Gabriel told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “Our kids have really looked forward to this opportunity, to play a big game, this year. And they did a great job tonight.

Holy Family’s Trevin Johnson scored two first-quarter touchdowns to put his team up 14-0 after the first quarter.

“A key for us was just trying to get them off the field. Our kids did that. … We got a quick couple of scores.

Defensively, he said, “We have great team speed on that side of the ball, and those kids really like to hit. I think we set the tone early, and kept it on for the whole game.

After a field goal, Lutheran cut the lead to 17-7 at halftime.

In the third quarter, Michael White threw two touchdowns for Holy Family, one to Oscar Sena, and another to Liam Gray, to make it 31-7.

Lutheran cut into the lead, making it 31-14 after three quarters, but White added a rushing score for Holy Family in the fourth quarter for the final margin.

2A: (10) Moffat County 26, (2) Delta 20

Caleb Frink and Evan Atkin each had two rushing touchdowns as Moffat County pulled off the big upset at home.

“We feel like we’ve been getting better every week, and this win tonight definitely makes us feel like we’ve taken a step in the right direction,” Moffat County coach Lance Scranton told the Scoreboard Show.

Frink got his team started with a first-quarter rushing score that put the Bulldogs up 6-0.

Delta responded on its next drive, capped by a touchdown pass to Hunter Goff, as they went ahead 7-6.

Moffat County retook the lead at 13-7 just before the end of the first quarter when Frink scored his second, this from from 25 yards out.

After Delta tied the game at 13 in the second quarter, Moffat County’s Evan Atkin put his team ahead 19-13 just two seconds before halftime.

In the second half, Moffat County recovered a fumble in Delta territory, and then Atkin punched it in for his second score for a 26-13 lead.

“Then, we just had to play defense, and our defense really came through,” Scranton said.

Delta’s Colbi Braslin hauled in a touchdown pass with 5:53 left, and the Panthers then got the ball back with less than a minute to go, but Moffat County’s Logan Hafey got a sack with two seconds left to secure the upset.

“That sealed the game, and that was it,” Scranton said.

5A: (2) Valor Christian 45, (8) Ralston Valley 7

In a game that was scheduled mid-week due to quarantines of opponents, Valor Christian built at 24-0 lead at halftime, and kept things rolling in the second half en route to the win.

Star Eagles running back Gavin Sawchuk rushed for two touchdowns, including scores of 69 and 27 yards, as he amassed 230 yards on 33 carries.

Valor Christian quarterback Sean McNair threw two touchdown passes, both of which went to Landon Turnall. Zach Wiley also had a rushing score.

Zach Friedman had Ralston Valley’s lone touchdown, a 7-yard rush in the third quarter.

2A: (5) Eaton 51, (8) Severance 6

Eaton turned a fast start into a big top-10 win.

The squad led 23-0 after the first quarter, and 44-0 at the half.

[divider]

8-man: (1) Sedgwick County 32, (3) Merino 0

Sedgwick County pushed an 8-0 lead to 24-0 in the span of a few minutes late in the second quarter to beat their rivals on Friday night.

“That was big for us, especially that last score, going down and getting in the end zone right before halftime,” Sedgwick County coach Chris Michel told the Scoreboard Show. “I think anytime you can do that, it takes the wind out of them a little bit, and gives us a little more cushion.”

Of the top-3 matchup, Michel said, “We had to put four quarters together. That’s exactly what we need this time of season, to get ready to go in the playoffs.”

It was the second shutout Sedgwick County’s defense threw this season.

“We did a good job of staying home, doing our job, and really tackling,” Michel said.

8-man: (9) Dove Creek 18, (5) Mancos 14

Dove Creek’s Kade Hankins scored a 6-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter to help Dove Creek rally and pull off the upset.

The Bulldogs also got a 1-yard touchdown from Chorbin Cressler and a 68-yard score from Gage Bailey as they went ahead 12-6 at halftime.

Dove Creek’s Chase Moore had two rushing touchdowns, including a score that made it 14-12 midway through the third quarter.

6-man: (3) Cheyenne Wells 42, (6) Eads 18

Rogelio Rangel had a rushing score as well as a receiving score to help Cheyenne Wells build a 21-2 first-half lead that help up in the win.

The Be The Light, Colorado movement continued to spread through the end of its first week with an inspirational display of Friday Night Lights in April.

The #BeTheLightCO trend, which started with five schools and districts on Monday night, and continued with 12 more on Tuesday, and 16 on Wednesday, has now spread across nearly 70 schools and school districts around the state.

The movement seeks to provide a beacon of hope for students during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has closed schools and put the season on hold. Schools and school districts are lighting their stadiums as a way to show students they are in our hearts and on our minds.

Among those taking part since Wednesday:

The 2019 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.

Eads’ ground attack was certainly working on Friday night.

The Eagles rushed for 11 touchdowns in a 6-man win over Manzanola, 78-48. That figure is the third-most in state history, trailing only Briggsdale’s 14 in 2016 and 12 from Hugo in 1930.

Junior Damien Barnes was spectacular, rushing for 368 yards and seven touchdowns on 27 carries. He averaged 13.6 yards per carry.

Senior Angel Medina also had quite the night, rushing for 131 yards and four touchdowns on nine carries. He averaged 14.6 yards per carry.

Eads also rushed for eight touchdowns in their season-opening win against Genoa-Hugo last week. Barnes had six scores in that game, making him the current state leader with 13 rushing touchdowns.

Eads is averaging 69.5 points per game so far this season.

Quarterback Cam Tucker had two rushing TD as No. 2 Palisade rallied from down 11-10 at the half for a big win over No. 10 Durango.

The Bulldogs won, 25-18.

The game was tied at 18 with seven minutes to play, according to the Durango Herald, when Tucker led his team down the field again, and Palisade took a 25-17 lead with 3:23 to go when backup quarterback Gabe Harrison scored on the ground.

“It was a tough battle,” Palisade coach Joe Ramunno told the Scoreboard Show.

Palisade had a few long drives in the second half which helped them keep Durango’s offense off the field.

“We were able to put some long drives together,” Ramunno said. “Early in the game, we turned the ball over and it cost us a couple of scoring opportunities. But that’s all part of it. We really rallied in the second half, and held on to the ball, and had some long drives that ate a lot of clock — we were having a really hard time stopping them, because they’re very explosive.”

Harrison was in the game because Tucker injured his ankle, Ramunno said, adding that he wasn’t yet sure how serious it was.

“It was a tough deal, but our team rallied to finish it off,” Ramunno said.

The Durango Herald has a complete game story from this matchup.

4A: (4) Broomfield 38, (2) Loveland 12

The Eagles ended Loveland’s 14-game losing streak, knocking off the defending champions.

“We really got off to a fast start in the first half,” Broomfield coach Blair Hubbard told the Scoreboard Show. “We returned a kickoff for a touchdown, and our defense really played well in the first half, as well.”

“Defensively, it’s just a total team effort,” Hubbard said. “Tonight, against an offense like Loveland, it has to be a total team effort. And the guys really worked hard through the week. … It’s very difficult to stop their offense

3A/4A: (3A 3) Mead 42, (4A 7) Skyline 14

Mead raced out to a big lead in the first half and never looked back in a big win.

The Mavericks led 27-0 at the half thanks to a 20-0 second-quarter advantage, and extended that lead to 42-0 with three minutes to play in the third quarter.

“It was a fun night,” Mead coach Jason Klatt told the Scoreboard Show. “I’m proud of our guys.”

Skyline’s potent offense didn’t get on the board until the fourth quarter.

“It really shows the effort that our defense gave tonight,” Klatt said. “They’re not going to get the credit they deserve, but, man, it was one heck of an effort.”

3A: (7) Discovery Canyon 35, (5) Roosevelt 21

Discovery Canyon built a 21-7 halftime lead, and then went on to secure the top-10 victory.

Marshall Pike rushed for three touchdowns, and Jonah Isakson hit Ethan Hall for a passing score.

“The guys stayed calmed and focused, and we were able to move the ball pretty well,” Discovery Canyon coach Shawn Mitchell said. “The offense did a really nice job putting together some good touchdowns.”

“Just overall really happy with the way we played tonight. It wasn’t perfect, but we did a lot of things right.”

1A: (5) Holyoke 21, (2) Colorado Springs Christian 6

Holyoke built a 14-0 lead at halftime, and then added a fourth-quarter touchdown after CSCS cut the lead to 14-6 in the third.

“We played a great team defense, and played together,” Holyoke coach Dusty Sprague told the Scoreboard Show. “That’s what it takes. CSCS is a great team, and those backs are great backs.”

Holyoke is now 2-0 this season.

Scoreless through three quarters, and much of the fourth, Sterling scored the game’s lone touchdown with 2:34 to play in the final quarter.

Quarterback Brock Shalla scored on a 6-yard touchdown as the Tigers captured the top-10 victory, and improved to 2-0 this 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.
