Since CHSAA will not announce new football rankings for next week, we can post the Top 10 football schedule a day earlier than normal.  The next set of rankings will be released on Monday September 4th following the week one schedule.
Several important games can be found in week including a state championship rematch in six-man between #1 Hi Plains and #3 Cheyenne Wells.  There are also two top five clashes in the eight-man division between clubs involving teams seemingly always in the championship chase.
All together there a dozen games involving top ten teams squaring off.  Four of them are found in Class 3A including the always exciting battles between Pueblo East — Longmont, Holy Family — Palisade and Mead — Lewis Palmer.  In the big school division, traditional heavyweights Valor Christian — Mullen and Cherry Creek — Regis also square off.
All games listed below are set for Friday unless otherwise indicated.
Colorado Preps will have weekly previews on each division throughout the week and then wrap up the week one slate with the 2017 debut of the Friday Night Scoreboard Show.  Friday will mark the start of our 15th year of offering the program and it’s again presented by our fine partners of Colorado Farm Bureau Insurance.
