PUEBLO — We have finally made it championship weekend for high school football in Colorado.
After a crazy 2020 season with COVID-19, two Southern Colorado teams are playing in the state championship game at the 4A & 2A level.
VOTE NOW FOR OUR FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER PLAY OF THE NIGHT: CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION
In 4A, Palmer Ridge was looking to capture their 4th straight state title in a row. Loveland came away with a 42-6 victory.
Palmer Ridge is led by a loaded senior class that has yet to end the season without a state title trophy.
On the other hand, the Lamar Savages are looking to win their first state title in over 60 years.
Lamar faced the Eaton Reds on Friday coming away with a 28-21 loss.
The team was playing for a teammate who could not suit up this year due to a rare blood disease called aplastic-anemia. Jesus Gonzalez, a senior at Lamar, has been a source of inspiration for the Savages.
After receiving a bone marrow donation from his sister, the Gonzalez family is optimistic Zeus will make a full recovery and attend the state title game, were he has one wish: for Lamar to take home the state title trophy for the first time since 1961.
