Unbeaten 4A powerhouse
Pine Creek (Colorado Springs), No. 3 in the Top 25 state rankings, will travel to meet No. 6 and 5A stalwart
Legend (Parker) in a game that will go a long way in determining the Class 5A/4A South League title.
In addition, a stacked 4A Southern League opens with perhaps the best game of the week with No. 10
Montrose at eighth-ranked
Palmer Ridge (Monument) in a clash of 5-0 teams. Palmer Ridge is led by sophomore
Derek Hester (video above), who is 10th in the state in rushing yards with 1,188 yards.
