Colorado high school football state title game live scores, updates

December football means championship action in Colorado high school football.

Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins plays host to upper-classification title games for the third straight year on the CSU campus.

The Class 3A final features No. 1 Windsor (13-0) vs. No. 2 Pomona (12-1) in a rematch of last season’s 3A quarterfinals, a close Panthers win.

Coloradoan reporter Chris Abshire and photographer Logan Newell will be posted up at Canvas Stadium with live updates, photos and more from CHSAA state championship football.

Follow here for scores and live updates from the Colorado 3A football state championship game:

It’s been a back and forth game here in this 3A state title game.

The Wizards have the ball around midfield heading into the final period. One quarter to decide a champion here in Fort Collins!

All the momentum was swinging Windsor’s way, but the Pomona defense made a big stand deep into this 3rd quarter.

The Wizards got down to the Windsor 24-yard line but got stuffed on three straight runs before Rome Garcia’s free-run sack on 4th down.

No time wasted getting this game tied up again, as Windsor gets the big kick return and needs only six plays to score a touchdown.

Mason Moore hit Keaton Villavicencio on a nice rollout pass for the 12-yard TD strike.

The Wizards are in business right away in this second half, getting a 50-yard kickoff return inside the Pomona 40 from Cam Johnson.

An early momentum swing out of the locker room in this 3A title game.

The Panthers have really swung this game in their favor.

After a defensive stand near midfield forced a punt, Pomona goes 80 yards in 2 minutes for a touchdown, which came via some trickeration.

Luis Santana (not the starting QB) rolled out right and hit Tucker Ingersoll (the starter) deep down the right sideline. Ingersoll slightly bobbled it but collected the ball and sprinted into the end zone for a 49-yard TD.

Pomona 14, Windsor 7; late 2nd quarter

— Chris Abshire

What an impressive bounceback possession for the Panthers.

They take nearly 6 minutes off the clock with a 15 play, 64 yard drive, taking advantage of a key facemask penalty to score on Emmitt Munson’s 1-yard touchdown run.

We’re all tied up in this 3A championship clash.

Windsor 7, Pomona 7; mid 2nd quarter

— Chris Abshire

The Wizards are first on the board here in this 3A title game!

James Beets forced a big 3rd down fumble and it was scooped up at the Pomona 21-yard line. Mason Moore scored four plays later on quarterback sneak to take the early lead.

Windsor 7, Pomona 0; END 1st quarter

— Chris Abshire

The Wizards had a promising drive going, getting three first downs and nearly reaching the red zone.

However, a penalty halted the momentum and Mason Moore’s 3rd down rollout pass was picked off by Jaydon Molina in the end zone.

Windsor 0, Pomona 0; mid 1st quarter

— Chris Abshire

Pomona started at its own 6-yard-line after some mishaps fielding the opening kickoff.

While they got out of the shadow of their endzone with a first down, the Windsor defense held up with two straight run stops.

A nice punt puts Windsor at its own 29 for the Wizards first possession.

Windsor 0, Pomona 0; early 1st quarter

— Chris Abshire

Pomona will get the ball first after Windsor won the opening coin toss and deferred until the second half.

We’ll see the Panthers’ physical offense first against the strong Wizards’ defense.

— Chris Abshire

My track record has been pretty good this season with a 72-10 record to date. What’s three more picks to end the season?

Can Windsor win a ‘home’ state title? Will Cherry Creek’s dynasty continue?

— Chris Abshire

It’s a nice round number and a title anniversary for the Wizards.

Windsor is playing for the school’s fifth football state title and first since a 2015 Class 4A championship.

That Wizards squad went 13-1, avenged its only loss in the postseason and won an all-NoCo final 35-14 over Loveland down at Mile High Stadium.

— Chris Abshire

It’s a momentous week for Windsor 4-star lineman Deacon Schmitt.

The senior officially signed with Oklahoma on Dec. 3 during the early national signing period and now he’s playing a de-facto home game for the state championship.

“CSU is about 20 minutes from my house and they were my first offer. It’s awesome to play here, never played in a stadium like this before,” Schmitt said.

— Chris Abshire

Here’s the schedule for the 3A, 4A and 5A state championship games on Dec. 6:

Class 3A: No. 1 Windsor vs. No. 2 Pomona (10 a.m.)
Class 4A: No. 1 Dakota Ridge vs. No. 3 Palmer Ridge (1:30 p.m.)
Class 5A: No. 1 Cherry Creek vs. No. 2 Ralston Valley (5 p.m.)

— Chris Abshire

A Wizards’ star will head into state championship action as the Blue Federal Credit Union Fort Collins-area Football Player of the Week.

Windsor running back Adrian Czyszczon ran for nearly 250 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score late in a 21-14 quarterfinal win over No. 5 Holy Family last week.

Warm storm delivers modest totals to Colorado’s northern mountains

Arapahoe Basin Ski Area recorded 8.5 inches of snow through Friday morning.

Friday morning wrapped up a warm storm across Colorado’s northern and central mountains, bringing totals of up to 10 inches of snowfall for several resorts.

Higher elevation areas of the northern mountains — particularly those in and near Summit County and closer to the Continental Divide — received the most amount of snow, with Copper, Winter Park and Breckenridge mountains seeing among the highest totals.

Meanwhile, lower base areas and valleys received rain and cloudy skies, thanks to a warmer storm with a snow line of roughly 9,000 feet.

Earlier this week, OpenSnow meteorologists predicted the storm’s snow totals would be around 5-10 inches, closely matching actual totals for the northern mountains. The central mountains all saw less than 5 inches of snow.

Here’s how much snow fell between Wednesday through Friday morning for some Western Slope mountains, according to a Friday report from OpenSnow:

Aspen Mountain: 0.5 inches

Snowmass: 0.5 inches

Copper Mountain: 10 inches

Winter Park: 9 inches

Breckenridge Ski Resort: 9 inches

Arapahoe Basin Ski Area: 8.5 inches

Keystone Resort: 8 inches

Loveland Ski Area: 7 inches

Vail Mountain: 7 inches

Steamboat Resort: 6 inches

Beaver Creek: 6 inches

Irwin: 4.5 inches

Cooper Mountain: 4 inches

Sunlight: 0.5 inches

Friday and Saturday will be dry, while Sunday will bring northern showers. The next storms are forecast to be around March 3-4 and March 6-7, both favoring the northern mountains.
