It’s a week where contenders will separate themselves from the pretenders as there is a packed schedule of top-10 football games for Week 5.

Among those games is a massive clash in Class 3A as defending champion Roosevelt takes on Holy Family. These are two teams that could make deep playoff runs and this could even be a preview of a semifinal or state championship game. There are plenty more thrillers across the state such as Lutheran vs. Montrose, Cherry Creek vs. Regis Jesuit, Limon vs. Buena Vista and many more.

Several of these games can be seen on the NFHS Network.
