Saturday will mark the second meeting of the year between Palmer Ridge and Pueblo East. The difference in round two is that the game will decide who will be the 2018 Class 3A state football champion.
It's become something of an annual contest. Sometimes bi-annual. So Saturday's football game between Cherry Creek and Valor Christian isn't anything out of the ordinary — but it is special.
The Class 4A and 5A football finalists were at Broncos Stadium at Mile High on Tuesday for a tour and walk-through of the facility, as well as a press conference in advance of their championship matchups.
