Lamar at 1A No. 2 Limon among several football games on the radio for Friday
The first full week of football games is in full swing for Friday night. Contests across the state will have implications not just for this week, but a playoff picture that will evolve over the course of the season.
There are several games that can be heard through various radio broadcasts in Colorado.
Lamar at (1A 2) Limon
Game time: 7 p.m. kick.
Station: KLMR 920
On the call: Ethan Denton
Denton on the matchup: “The young Savages may have their hands full tonight on the road against the Badgers, who return QB Cannan Bennett and RB Hauk Hubbard who hope lead Limon to a deep playoff run. Lamar sophomore QB Zane Rankin will make his first start against a Badger defense which posted six shutouts in 2017.”

Grand Junction at Montrose
Game time: 7 p.m. kick.
Station: The Team 1340
On the call: Greg Wentzel (Play by Play), Reo Van Gilder (Color)
Van Gilder on the matchup: “Montrose ran for 159 yards on 41 carries against Grand Junction Central last week, and found some success through the air. Sophomore quarterback Keegan Goodwin showed nice touch and good awareness in his first varsity start. Grand Junction’s AJ Mariz found some success in his first start, as well. Grand Junction’s defense kept stopping Palmer on fourth down, giving Mariz and running back Carson Loveridge short fields all day. Two running teams and physical defenses in this one, should be a smash-mouth affair.”

Sterling at Eaton
Time: 7 p.m. kick.
Station: KFKA 1310
On the call: Clark Johnson (Play by Play), Mike Danson (Color)
Preps director Tanner Schwindt on the matchup: “For Eaton and Sterling it’ll be the third matchup in the last two years for the two teams but both look remarkably different. It will be more of a feeling out process for Eaton and a bounce back week for Sterling.”

Pagosa Springs at (2) La Junta
Time: 7 p.m. kick
Station: KBLJ 1400
On the call: Pat McGee (Play by Play), Chas Phillips (Color)
KBLJ on the matchup: “Look for the Tiger offense to basically be the same. Not much of a change as of what the offense looks like. Defense as always will be the key to victory. If they play like they did against Raton they should be fine.”
