A look at the best high school football matchups across Colorado in Week 3 of the 2023 season.

No. 1 Cherry Creek vs. Chatfield : Cherry Creek 28, vs. Chatfield 5, Sept. 9, 2022

The Bruins’ quest for a 5A five-peat hits the road for the first time this fall with a date against the Chargers at Jeffco Stadium. If Chatfield has one advantage — other than playing at home — it’s the fact that they’ve had two weeks to prepare for a Creek program that hasn’t lost a regular-season nonleague game in six years. The key for the Creek defense: finding a way to contain junior Brock Narva, who had 176 yards and two touchdowns on 27 touches against Cherokee Trail his last time out.

After knocking off a pair of heavyweights by three points apiece, Regis locks horns with one of the stingiest defenses in the state. With ironman senior Charlie Eckhardt doing his best Travis Hunter impression , Arapahoe has limited opponents to 16 points through two games. The degree of difficulty goes up a notch this week, however, with Regis senior Albert Medina the second most productive rusher in 5A through two weeks.

A week after taking down crosstown rival Denver South, East goes up another level with a game against a physical Rock Canyon team. The Jaguars are averaging 214 rushing yards/game behind juniors Tyler Meyer and Owen Arnold , and have allowed just one touchdown while registering 17 tackles for loss. The Angels have their own two-headed junior backfield in Sean Campbell and Elijah West Duah , and a defense that’s got 44 tackles for loss and 14 turnovers through three games.

Two of 4A’s premier programs meet for the third time in three years, with each already winning once. Both Montrose and Erie are coming off dominant offensive showings, with the former putting 58 on the board in a blowout win over Fruita Monument and the latter scoring 56 in a win over Mullen. It would be safe to expect more of the same after these two combined for 49 points in Erie last season.
