DENVER — Colorado's 5A and 4A State championship football games at Empower Field at Mile High were watched by a record crowd of over 16,000 high school football fans on Saturday.
This marked the 16th year for both of the state’s big school title games taking place at the Broncos’ home field.
The Cherry Creek High School Bruins defeated the Valor Christian High School Eagles 21-0 to win the Class 5A title.
The Chatfield High School Chargers defeated the Erie High School Tigers by a 41-34 margin to claim the Class 4A title.
The presenting sponsor for the Colorado High School Activities Association's (CHSAA) “Championship Saturday” is the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame (CSHOF).
"Speaking on behalf of the CSHOF Board of Directors and the Denver Broncos Football Club, we are thrilled by the continued growth of this event, which has featured great games, tremendous enthusiasm and the opportunity for the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame to make over $2,000,000 in donations, over the past 16 years, to 30 youth sports organizations in Colorado,” said CSHOF President & CEO Tom Lawrence.
“The CSHOF and the Denver Broncos certainly look forward to continuing this event through 2022 and hopefully for many more years,” said Lawrence. “It is gratifying to all involved to be part of something which benefits high school football, youth sports organizations and Colorado’s prep students and fans to this high level.”
